I have some env variables like ANSYS009_DIR ANSYS110_DIR ANSYS120_DIR As you can see the difference is the number among them. I want to write a batch file and first check if one of these variables exits. I know that this code will do that for one variable IF "%ANSYS110_DIR%" == "" GOTO NOPATH :YESPATH @ECHO The PATH environment variable was detected. GOTO END :NOPATH @ECHO The PATH environment variable was NOT detected. GOTO END :END However I want to know how can I use wild char?? For example %ANSYS*_DIR% doesn't work. please share any suggestion on that
