[locbtran]

Is there such a thing as case statement in a batch file?  I check the web and they only use if statement.

no. 'case' is just a  nicer if/else. Therefore, all you really need is if/else.  if you really really need case support, use *nix shells, eg bash, or other languages that gives you this kind of support.

case "$var" in
value1)
commands;
;;
value2)
commands;
;;
*)
commands;
;;
esac

That's an example like I used to use in my shell scripting days.
