    batch file to search and locate

    I am trying to write a batch file to look for a file on a drive and if its not there then create one.

    Was thinking of using dir with /s to locate the file but then how do I capture weather or not I have found it..

    very new to this so any help much appreciated.

    Something like this perhaps

    Code:
    Dir somefile.txt /s
    If it's there, you'll see the directory, if not, then you wont.
