How to run windows DOS command in SQL?

I want to check to see if any error files from SQL uploads are present in a
folder.
I want to run IF EXISTS *.err then run EXEC xp_sendmail stored procedure
How can I check a windows directory for *.err files in SQL syntax? osql?

[xp_fileexist]. See this article:
