 the only way I can see to combine them is to use a for loop.
 or a single expresion for each weekday.

trying to put a full ; list into a variable crashed 4dos.



 set f=
 for x in (su mo tu we th fr sa) do %=
   if exist 0000[0-9A-F][0-9A-F][0-9A-F][0-9A-F].%x[0-9] (
      dir /km 0000[0-9A-F][0-9A-F][0-9A-F][0-9A-F].%x[0-9] >> logfile
      set f=yes
      )
 iff "%f"="yes" then
 echo unknown system(s) >> logfile
 etc...
 endiff

I can't see how it's supposed to work... the list only has extensions,
nothing for the name...
