I have an old dBaseIV program that I have transferred to an XP machine. There is an existing batch file within the app that will not work when running XP:

"if exist c:\directoryname\nul go to process"

It is not processing the "nul" properly.This batch file runs at the command prompt outside of dBase, but not when running within dbase. Help??
 
if Directory name has any spaces in it, wrap it inside quotes

if exist 'c:\directoryname\nul' ....
