Dos batch create file list




















Should a new text file be generated with a list? Just delete the existing filelisting. It should copy the unique files from dir 1 by checking dir 2 and copying it to dir3 with same folder structure of dir1. How can I just extract all file names from all subfolders. As your version below gives me folder names as well.

I am checking to see if I have missing files from two seperate drives, but the folder structure is different on both drives.

So I was going to create the two text files of just file names and load it in to an excel spreadsheet to do a comparison. Re-Script to Search for File or Folder, delete if none then goto next , otherwise goto search for next file or folder to be deleted.

I tried to trash the previous post, I hope it it being removed already. Here is the repost as per your request…. I managed with just this:. Upon startup, the batch file will run but if the external drive is not attached, then I will have to ignore the error message. So it would be good if I could have a batch to search for recycler in each drive and if there is none, ignore and to goto the next and so forth until the process is completed.

I would like to have a rather simple. Then I would like to have another. It would be very nice if one of the gurus on this amazing thread could provide some help. I use both XP and Windows 8. This all depends on what you want to rename those files to. You are amazingly helpful. Could I pay you to write a bat file that i need completed? From a root directory, I need to search any number of sub-directories to look for specific files whose names are contained in a datafile.

Once found, I need the file s moved into a separate directory. Not being a programmer, I need the help to do this and am looking for someone who seems to know what to do…Google brought me to this blog.

This uses a file called list. Great tutorial.. A well explained tutorial. The most I liked is the response, I see you have replied to almost all the queries posted.

Great work keep it up. Just wanted to thank for you this again. Is there a way to just get the files added in the past day, week, etc? I guess I can just break it into chunks by temporarily moving all like a third of the folders into a new one and running the batch file from there, but I was hoping for a more efficient solution.

Have never heard of a text file running out of space. I have a similar setup to your directory structure. Unless I missed the answer already listed above, my problem is I need to go the other way. I have the text list of about pdf file names. Just the name, no path. There is no path listed at all. I need to use this list to search through a folder of 70, assorted pdf files finding only the matches to each filename on that list if it exists and copying that file if found to a flash drive.

I have the list plus the files or hopefully most of them but I need a way to soft them out of the folder as a copy, not delete or move. And store that copy to a flash drive to take to another system. I have tried my best to find a ay to use Robocopy or x-copy or even findstr with no real success. I did get one script to work but only for one file at a time. I is the reverse of the problem shown here but I am sure you have a solution. If you got a script to work on one file at a time, it should be relatively simple to amend it so it recurses a list of filenames that you pipe into the script as an input.

I came here looking for a solution to a problem. By substituting your. That problem is now solved. I have both directories and files in a folder, How would it be written so that the names of all of the files within a directory would also be listed? There are sometimes 2 or 3 layers of directories, that is a directory within a directory within a directory. Am I making myself clear? I have a folder with directories and files. Each directory may have files or another directory with files in it. Thank you for posting this.

I am starting to learn how to code and I really enjoy your style of teaching. Is there a switch that would allow only regular folders to be shown, and not System folders and hidden folders. To exclude hidden and system files and directories, just use Dir without any switches.

None of my examples in the post have these switches for hidden or system files and directories. You are commenting using your WordPress. You are commenting using your Google account.

Grumpy Bear Blog Subjective grumbles about anything and everything. Batch files to list all files and directories in a folder DOS has always been handy for creating the type of batch files that XP could never handle well so here are a few scripts you might find useful.

All of the arithmetic operators work in batch files. The following example shows arithmetic operators can be used in batch files. In any programming language, there is an option to mark variables as having some sort of scope, i.

Normally, variable having a global scope can be accessed anywhere from a program whereas local scoped variables have a defined boundary in which they can be accessed. DOS scripting also has a definition for locally and globally scoped variables.

By default, variables are global to your entire command prompt session. The following example shows the difference when local and global variables are set in the script. You can easily add more FTP commands to it, like changing directories or switching to binary mode or whatever you like to be done before taking over control on the FTP prompt. The FTP connection information is embedded within the batch itself. Optionally a FTP script can be provided as input stream, that way multiple FTP scripts can share the same login information.

Example: FtpLogin. First time it retrieves a list of files on the FTP server. The files in the trimmed list are then downloaded during a second connection. Title Connecting Title Preparing Title Processing Title Disconnecting All variables in the FTP script will be resolved. All batch lines start with semicolon so that they will be ignored by the FOR loop. Script: 1. Add this line at the beginning of the FTP script:.

The "FTP -s:ftpscript. Good: You end up with only one file that contains the batch script and the FTP script combined. Minor flaw: The batch command in the first line causes an "Invalid command.

That way if the username, password or hostname for the FTP connection changes you only need to edit a single place instead of having to edit all FTP scripts one by one. This automatic login script also described in detail earlier can be used to execute different FTP scripts that share the same login information stored within the batch file.

This is no different from regularly executing FTP with -s option. Script: Download: FtpLoginSharing. The following batch script executes itself in SQL context. The trick is the GOTO command in the first line of the script.

The batch script will then run the OSQL. In fact the file can be opened and executed in Query Analyzer as is, since the batch script in the file looks like a comment to the query language processor. Now we can embed SQL queries into a batch file. But how can we pass arguments from the batch script into SQL? This can be done using a temporary table. Temporary tables live as long as the connection to the SQL Server. EXE twice? The trick is that OSQL allows to use the -i and -q option at the same time whereas: -q specifies a query string to be executed -i specifies a filename with SQL syntax to be executed Both the query string and the SQL file will be executed using the same Server connection.

Some testing shows that the query string -q will always be executed before the -I SQL file, which allows us to use a query string to set up a temporary table. The trick of renaming the Perl. However the solution I have seen so far needed batch code before and after the Perl script where as the solution presented below only needs some lines of DOS at the top. The added DOS script is generic and works independent from the name of the file.

When running the batch the DOS command interpreter will read the first lines and execute the file itself in Perl context. This example works just as the previews one but will wait 4 seconds before the application finally closes.

This is just enough time to inspect the screen output before the window vanishes. The delay can probably be done much easier in Perl, but somebody just starting on Perl might find this still useful.
