Question

i have the following code in batch (cmd):

for /f "delims=" %%f in ('dir /b /s Example') do (
command
if %errorlevel%==1 (
command
SKIP
)
command
)

EDIT:
To make things more clear:
for /f... searches for a directory called ‘Example’ and loops to search for more directories than one.
the first command is a delete command, it deletes all files in the directory.
the command that happens when an error occurs, is a echo command which writes some info about the error to a text file.
now the hole skip thing; sometimes, the files can’t be deleted because of access denied or this file is in use by.... Normally, what would happen if there weren’t a skip thing, it would just stop the command and hang. So, what i want to do, is prevent this from happening. Alternatively, i want to use something like skip, so it can skip the file and continue anyways. So i think this command needs to be piped in the delete command.

I hope it’s clear now.

Thanks in advance.
