The syntax of the command is incorrect.

[peterko]

hi
I am writing long but simple batch (attached). In some stage I got "The syntax of the command is incorrect." in few commands, I am sure are correct (e.g. "IF EXIST "%PROGRAMFILES%\Saveresults\saveresult.exe" ( ".
Same command works properly when written in Command Prompt window or in another batch.
I tried to resave the batch, also in other editors, several times , but the result is the same.

editor: Notepad++, ANSI encoding, DOS/Windows format

What the **********, could be the catch ?

10x for help

p.s.
would be anybody willing to review and "tune up" the batch?

just in a case somebody else will suffer....

"::" signed remarks cannot be used before combined commands [e.g. if exist...(something, somenthig, ...)]
use "REM" instead and better not to use "::" at all

10x to Rems from Petri's forum
