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. I want to copy image files (that are added by the customer) into the webapps directory so they can be used by the server. 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.
