I have a batch script that launches a tomcat server. The script starts the service, which unpacks the files and folders in the “webapps” directory.

However i need to wait until the folder has been unpacked so that the directory exists before i can add the images to it, what command or commands could i used to make this happen (apart from just waiting an arbitrary long enough time)

    I am no expert at this stuff but this works for me

    @echo OFF
:START
if not exist c:\abc GOTO WAIT
GOTO COPY

:WAIT
:: pause for 1 second
ping 127.0.0.1 > nul
GOTO START

:COPY
ECHO "DO COPYING STUFF"

    The ping is to put a 1 second pause between each check if the folder or file exists.
