Anyone know what this code segment does? 

 

:: If no file name is provided, start TestARest in interactive mode.

IF "%~1" == "" (

  SET FILE_TO_READ=

) ELSE (

  SET FILE_TO_READ=FileToRead="%~1"

)
 

 

Hi Charana,

It looks like you're working with a batch script, this snippet seems to be checking whether a file name argument is provided when executing the script. 


IF a file name is provided,

it sets the `FILE_TO_READ` variable to that file name. 


ELSE,

it sets `FILE_TO_READ` to an empty value, indicating that the script should start in interactive mode (it will interact directly with the user instead of reading commands or data from a file).

Thanks for the explanation @Darshana Herath .
