My code is: 

@ECHO OFF

IF EXIST D:\TestCMD\1.TXT GOTO 1

ELSE

ECHO NOT EXISTED FILE 1.TXT

:1

ECHO EXISTED 1.TXT

--> It work nomally but when i changed "1.txt" to "2.txt" --> It doesn't work and error: "else is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file." 

@ECHO OFF

IF EXIST D:\TestCMD\2.TXT GOTO 1

ELSE

ECHO NOT EXISTED FILE 1.TXT

:1

ECHO EXISTED 1.TXT

--> What's happen?

    Maybe [this](http://stackoverflow.com/a/25073859/2861476) can help – MC ND Sep 15 '14 at 10:25
  • Or reading `if /?` could also help – jeb Sep 15 '14 at 10:28

This syntax should help you:

@ECHO OFF
IF EXIST "D:\TestCMD\1.TXT" (
      ECHO EXISTED 1.TXT
  ) ELSE (
      ECHO NOT EXISTED FILE 1.TXT
)
pause
