echo My own logic thinks an IF OR STATEMENT should work this way..
IF [1]==[1] echo good
IF [2]==[2] echo times
IF [1]==[2] echo this actually should not output
IF [1]==[1] OR [2]==[2] echo hello there (with or)
REM it told me 'or' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

I haven't figured out the problem with the syntax of OR

there's no OR condition in batch files.You need to create your own:

IF [1]==[1] (
  echo ok
) else (
  if [2]==[2] (
     echo ok
  ) else (
     echo not ok
  )
)
