I can reproduce that here (XP Pro SP3, Xy v4.018)

I'm not sure it would make a difference on your system, but the
standard way to do that is (in pseudo-code):

+".txt">;*;
BX exist Q2 ;*;
Q2 ;*;
BX ca Q2 

Same, in DECODE-able XPL:

XPLeNCODE v2.0
b-gin [UNTITLED]
{<}SX01,{<}VA$DAyy-mm-dd{>}+".txt"{>};*;[cr|lf][BX_]exist {<}
PV01{>}[Q2_];*;[cr|lf]{<}IF{<}ER{>}{>}[BX_]ne {<}PV01{>}[Q2_]
{<}EX{>}{<}EI{>};*;[cr|lf][BX_]ca {<}PV01{>}[Q2_]{<}EX{>}[cr|
lf]
-nd
XPLeNCODE
