stopping a batch file if a file isn't found

[yawnmoth]

I'd like to write a batch file that'll stop executing if a file isn't
found when doing a 'dir'. Unfortunately, I'm not really sure how to
do this. Any ideas?

Use exists test as below:

if not exist C:\MyFile
goto :EOJ
:EOJ

if not exist "d:\My Files\test.txt" goto :eof

You do not need a label "eof" - it is a predefined label.
