Ok so i was wondering if there is a command to check to see if a directory exists eg:

if C:/program files/nemesis_0_ exists then
do something
else
do something else

so far i have something kinda working with SET DIR and PERFORM CHECKLIST FOR FILES, but when it the directory doesnt exist it just errors out... any ideas?

You shouldn't type a space between the command and the brackets.
But spaces are perfectly acceptable as part of a file path.

Here's what the command should be:
