How can I use multiple conditions in “If” in batch file?

Question

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 val

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  if  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  goto ResultTrue
    if  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.
