Can I specify multiple conditions with "or"/"and" in batch file if block?
If not that complex, can I at least use something like:
if value1 < value < value2
Basically my purpose is to check whether current system time falls in a certain interval(2.05 AM and 7.55 AM to be precise) and if it does, to execute certain commands.

Another option is to use a temporary variable: set "OR=" & ((if <condition1> set "OR=1") & if <condition2> set "OR=1") & if defined OR (echo TRUE) else (echo FALSE) .
One of the common uses for the 'if' statement in Batch Script is for checking variables which are set in Batch Script itself. The evaluation of the 'if' statement can be done for both strings and numbers.
However, you can't use else if in batch scripting. Instead, simply add a series of if statements: if %x%==5 if %y%==5 (echo "Both x and y equal 5.")
EXIT /B at the end of the batch file will stop execution of a batch file. Use EXIT /B < exitcodes > at the end of the batch file to return custom return codes.
Adding to dbenham's answer, you can emulate both logical operators (AND, OR) using a combination of if and goto statements.
To test condition1 AND codition2:
if <condition1> if <condition2> goto ResultTrue
:ResultFalse
REM do something for a false result
goto Done
:ResultTrue
REM do something for a true result
:Done
To test condition1 OR codition2:
if <condition1> goto ResultTrue
if <condition2> goto ResultTrue
:ResultFalse
REM do something for a false result
goto Done
:ResultTrue
REM do something for a true result
:Done
The labels are of course arbitrary, and you can choose their names as long as they are unique.
