batch file multiple actions under a if condition

Question

Is there a way to put multiple actions under a if condition? Like this:

if not exist MyFolderName (
ECHO create a folder
mkdir MyFolderName
)

Answer 1

You can use & to join commands and execute them on the same line.

So your syntax should look like:

if not exist MyFolderName ECHO "Create a folder" & mkdir MyFolderName

UPDATE

Or you can use labels to jump to a section containing the commands you want to execute, for example:

if not exist MyFolderName GOTO DOFILESTUFF
:AFTER
...
EXIT

:DOFILESTUFF
ECHO "Create a folder"
mkdir MyFolderName
GOTO AFTER
