I have Written a nice little batch file that appeared to work so I thought, but in testing I found one little subroutine isn't doing it's job and I can't see why. I copied the snippet of code into it's own bat file and swapped the goto functions for simple true false statements to try and figure this out and I still couldn't.
If 28937064448 GTR 21474836480 (
echo true
) else (
echo false
)
The context of this is the free space of a drive is being called and compared to a manually set number. If the free space is greater then the script should jump to do something one way, if the free space is smaller it should jump elsewhere to do it differently.
In the VM I am developing this on the drive size is always to small so I commented out the 150gig number and set it to something that should evaluate to true, and to my surprise nothing would. The other context that is important here is I am pulling the free space from wmic and it is reported in bytes I think. Which if my suspicion about the number being too large has any merit is it's own problem because these numbers are always going to be large.
==========
New bit below
Compo provided a very elegant solution that worked though I don't want to mark it as the answer and close the thread as I would like to ask how in the world that solution actually did work. I can clearly see there is a conditional at the end and in my script I modified it into goto statements, but I don't understand how that syntax works for the way it does.
In a few days though I will mark Compo's solution as the answer because it was, though shout out to Mofi for excellent contextual information about if that made me realized I hadn't solved what I thought I had and it was only working for a moment due to have the same number of digits.
At this moment I seek comprehension of the solution Compo provided but the original problem is solved although I would discover group policy would need to be edited to allow a particular part of this to work on non-administrative accounts.
If anyone is curious this is the completed script, Compo's solution lives in the :CheckSync subroutine shortly after the setting of the drive size, to be measured against.

The Debug echos were for my benifit during editing more proactive as most were never needed, the other echo's were supposed to be for the end user's benefit but were pointless as when set as a login script I discovered the CMD window was hidden.
