Hi, I want to write a batch file to do:

if "number of files in a directory" gtr 10
( command-1.exe
command-2.exe )

I know to count the file number is
dir /b | find /c /v ""
but how to put it into the above batch commands? pls help. thanks.

@echo off
setLocal EnableDelayedExpansion

if not %1'==' set src=%1 && goto :count

set /p src=which directory ?

:count

for /f "tokens=* delims= " %%a in ('dir /b/a-d !src!') do (
set /a C+=1
)

if !C! gtr 10 (
echo there are !C! files
echo do command1
) else (
echo there are !C! files; nothing done
)

=====================================
If at first you don't succeed, you're about average.

Thanks and it works.
However is there any simpler lines doing the job? similar like

if ('dir /b | find /c /v "" !src!') gtr 10
( do command1
do command2)

instead of your for-looping all files in the directory?

Thanks again.
