Question

I need to write a script based on whether what I am reading is a file or directory. Basically I have a txt file which contains paths of files + directories, I am reading this file as follows: FOR /f %%i IN (root.txt) DO (call :output %%i)

I need to call :output which will output only the files contained in the txt file.
so if root.txt contains:

C:\TEST
C:\TEST\test.txt
C:\TEST\TEST2\test2.txt

The output should be:

C:\TEST\test.txt
C:\TEST\TEST2\test2.txt

See this SuperUser question to find out how to test if something is a directory.

You basically have to append \ to the end, and then use If Exist; so your script becomes:

FOR /f %%i IN (root.txt) DO IF NOT EXIST "%%i\" (call :output %%i)
