I'm trying to copy specific files from C: to "X: for example". The files are named with the same format.
A1234_ZZabc123_DT1_F1.tst
A4567_ZZdef4567_DT2_F2.tst
A8901_ZZghi1289_DT1.tst
A2345_ZZjfkbu12_to_modify.tst
A6789_ZZlmny568_F1_to_modify.tst
A1234_ZZabc478_DT1.txt
I want to copy only the .tst files, and with the same format as the first 3 Axxxx_ZZyyyxxx_DTx_Fx.tst where x=number and y=letter.
After ZZ, it might be 4 letters and 3 numbers, or 5 letters and 4 numbers, like a "namecode".
Example: ZZkusha122 or ZZkus1551.
I need to copy the folders along with the files too.
I'm new to coding and really need some help.
I need to find and copy all those files along 10k+ files together
You claim that the first 3 of your example filenames fit the pattern you describe. I believe that only two do.

Always verify against a test directory before applying to real data.
The required COPY commands are merely ECHOed for testing purposes. After you've verified that the commands are correct, change ECHO COPY to COPY to actually copy the files. Append >nul to suppress report messages (eg. 1 file copied)
Simply execute a dir command that reports only filenames matching the *.tst mask. Filter this list with findstr which /X exactly matches the regular expression provided. findstr only has a limited implementation of regular expressions. The /I forces a case-insensitive match. If you want case-sensitive, remove the /I and change each [a-z] to [a-zA-Z] (leave as-is if you want lower-case only in these positions.)
See findstr /? from the prompt for more documentation, or search for examples on SO.

The findstr command loses the regex expression. These are transferred to a file and the file is nominated by the /g: switch.
The copy command loses the source-directory as the directory will be included in %%e
The file "q74442552.txt" contains lines that are of the form
A[0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9]_ZZ[a-z][a-z][a-z]_DT[0-9]_F[0-9].tst
A[0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9]_ZZ[a-z][a-z][a-z]_to.*.tst
This time, %%e acquires the full pathname of the files found. Since the filemask ends .tst, the only filenames to pass the dir filter will be those that end .tst.
The /e switch tells findstr to match string that End with the regex strings in the file specified as /g:.
The strings in the file must comply with Microsoft's partial regex implementation, one to a line.
In summary, findstr uses as regex
Any character,literally
[set] any character of a set of characters
[^set] any character not in a set of characters
. any character
.* any number of any character
prefix any of the special characters with\ to use it literally
a set may include a range by using low-high
So - you then need to brew-your own using the examples I've supplied. The second line matches Axxxx_ZZyyy_to{anything}.tst for instance.

The prior version used echo copy to report the proposed copy operation, but the destination was always the same directory.

Note : the XCOPY is "live". The files will be copied to the destination if run as-is. Always verify against a test directory before applying to real data.
To "defuse" the XCOPY, add the /L switch and remove the >nul. This will cause XCOPY to report the source name that would be copied instead of copying it. (The >nul suppresses the report)
The /D only copies source files that eitherr do not exist in the destination of have a later datestamp in the source.
The action is to xcopy each filename found (%%~nxe) from the source directory tree to the destination. Therefore, any file xyz.tst found anywhere in the source tree will be xcopyd to the destination tree. The /D means that once xyz.tst is encountered on the source tree, it will be skipped should it be encountered again.

Note to self: Only if the filemask provided to XCOPY is ambiguous (ie. contains ? or *) will XCOPY obey the /s switch unless the target file exists in the starting source directory.
hence
xcopy /s sourcedir\myfile destdir
will copy myfile from the entire tree ONLY if sourcedir\myfile exists.
xcopy /s sourcedir\myf?le destdir
will copy myfile from the entire tree regardless. Unfortunately it will also copy myfale and myfule as well.
Hence, the new approach.
First, perform a dir /b /s to get all of the filenames and filter as before. This is being assigned to %%e.
Take the drive and path only of the file and assign to dirname.
The next step is a little complex. First, set the value of %%y to the name of the source directory. Next, use a parser trick to remove that name from dirname. The mechanics are: Parse the %%dirname:%%~y=%% (because the call causes the set to be executed in a sub-shell) whuch does the normal left-to-right evaluation. %% is an escaped-%, so is replaced by %; %%y is an active metavariable so is replaced by (the name of the source directory) and the ~ causes the quotes to be stripped from that name. The resultant command executed is thus SET "dirname=%dirname:nameofsourcedirectory=%"
So now we can construct a copy-class instruction. dirname now contains the relative directory for the destination, which we can extract from the environment by parsing a set listing (Could also be done with delayed expansion) where %%y gets set to the relative directory and has both a leading and trailing backslash, so the destination directory is simply "%destdir%%%y". XCOPY then knows to create that directory if necessary (%%y has a trailing backslash) and we know the source filename is in %%e.
You could also use a copy to do the same thing, but you'd need to create the destination directory first. Another advantage of XCOPY is that you can also specify the /d switch to not copy files that have an earlier date over files that have a later date.

As said in Q-title, I am trying to find a particular directory called Local State, but it could be spelled by some Apps as LocalState or Local State, anyone of which is surely present in every Apps' folder inside %USERPROFILE%, which I am trying to list out.
Now for that I had to write two lines, one for finding LocalState which works well, and it's as given:
pushd "%USERPROFILE%"
for /d /r %%h in (LocalState) do if exist "%%h" echo "%%h"
popd
But with the almost same line when I try to find Local State folder it doesn't show the paths as expected, as it adds extra quotes around the searched folder. See this:
pushd "%USERPROFILE%"
for /d /r %%h in ("Local State") do if exist "%%h" echo "%%h"
popd
gives this, which is weird, as any action can't be taken on this extra quoted path:
....
....
"C:\Users\<Username>\AppData\Local\BraveSoftware\Brave-Browser\User Data\"Local State""
"C:\Users\<Username>\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\"Local State""
....
....
Now I am wondering is it possible with one line only I am able to search folder name like LocalState or Local State in the specified folder with batch script ? Something like this?
for /d /r %%h in ("Local? State") do if exist "%%h" echo "%%h"
And it would show paths in regular proper quoted format like:?
....
....
"C:\Users\<Username>\AppData\Local\BraveSoftware\Brave-Browser\User Data\Local State"
"C:\Users\<Username>\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Local State"
....
....
Or if that's not at all possible, then how can I find folder names with spaces and echo those paths in proper quoted format with no extra, unrequired quotes ?
Why do the FOR command lines not work as expected?
The strings LocalState and "Local State" are not interpreted by for as folder name to search for because of neither containing * nor ?. The command FOR searches only for non-hidden files or with option /D for non-hidden folders on specifying a wildcard pattern.
There was tried:
for /d /r %%h in (LocalState) do if exist "%%h" echo "%%h"
for /d /r %%h in ("Local State") do if exist "%%h" echo "%%h"
The command lines above result in searching recursively for directories (including hidden ones) and assign to the loop variable h each found directory with full path not enclosed in " concatenated with the specified string LocalState or "Local State".
Example: The current directory is C:\Temp with following directory structure:
C:\Temp
Development & Test(!)
Folder 2
The IF condition is executed with following strings assigned to loop variable h:
C:\Temp\LocalState
C:\Temp\Development & Test(!)\LocalState
C:\Temp\Folder 2\LocalState
C:\Temp\"Local State"
C:\Temp\Development & Test(!)\"Local State"
C:\Temp\Folder 2\"Local State"
The directory names 4 to 6 are problematic on as they contain themselves two double quotes resulting in executing the IF conditions with not correct specified names for file system entries – directory or file or reparse point – that makes no difference for IF in this case with no backslash at end.
Somebody might think this behavior of FOR does not make sense, but that behavior is useful in some use cases, for example on creation of a file with a specific name in each folder of a directory tree.
The problem here is that there cannot be added * at beginning or at end, i.e. use *LocalState or "Local State*" because of that can result in false positives. FOR would really search now for non-hidden directories of which name ends with LocalState or starts with Local State.
So the usage of the following command line would not be good:
for /d /r %%h in (*LocalState "Local State*") do echo "%%h"
What are possible solutions?
A very fast possible solution is:
for /F "delims=" %%h in ('dir "%USERPROFILE%\LocalState" "%USERPROFILE%\Local State" /AD /B /S 2^>nul') do echo "%%h"
There is started in background one more cmd.exe with option /c and the specified command line within ' appended as additional arguments.
DIR searches first
for just directories because of option /AD
with the name LocalState or the name Local State
in the specified directory %USERPROFILE% and
all its subdirectories because of option /S and
outputs just the fully qualified directory name because of the options /B (bare format) and /S.
DIR is so smart to search in each directory for both directories names. So the entire directory tree is searched by DIR only once for both directory names at the same time.
The started cmd.exe closes itself once DIR finished.
The cmd.exe instance processing the batch file captures all fully qualified folder names output by DIR and FOR processes them now line by line.
The FOR option delims= defines an empty list of delimiters to turn off the default line splitting behavior on normal spaces and horizontal tabs. That is required because of each folder name should be assigned completely one after the other to the loop variable h for further processing and not just the part up to first space character in a full folder name.
Other solutions are:
for /F "delims=" %%h in ('dir "%USERPROFILE%\Local*State" /AD /B /S 2^>nul ^| %SystemRoot%\System32\findstr.exe /E /I /L /C:LocalState /C:"Local State"') do echo "%%h"
for /F "delims=" %%h in ('dir "%USERPROFILE%\Local*State" /AD /B /S 2^>nul ^| %SystemRoot%\System32\findstr.exe /E /I /R /C:"Local *State"') do echo "%%h"
DIR searches in both cases for directories of which name starts with Local and ends with State (case-insensitive) recursively in specified folder %USERPROFILE%.
There is used FINDSTR on the first command line to filter out all false positive found directories of which fully qualified directory name does not end with the case-insensitive and literally interpreted string LocalState or Local State like Local & State.
There is used FINDSTR on the second command line to filter out all false positive found directories of which fully qualified directory name is at end not matched by the case-insensitive interpreted regular expression Local *State which matches LocalState and Local State and also Local State (two spaces) because of * is interpreted here as preceding character (the space) zero or more times. Please notice the difference. In a wildcard pattern * means any character zero or more times, but not here in the regular expression search string interpreted by FINDSTR where it means preceding character zero or more times.
The two solutions searching with DIR for the directories with a wildcard pattern and using FINDSTR to filter out false positive found directories are a bit slower than the solution using just DIR with the two directory names to search for.
In all provided solutions could be modified the DIR option /AD to /AD-L to ignore junctions and symbolic directory links (reparse points) and find just real directories.
For understanding the used commands and how they work, open a command prompt window, execute there the following commands, and read entirely all help pages displayed for each command very carefully.

How do I get relative directories / partial paths to display as echo output from a windows .bat file?
How to split the filename from a full path in batch?
Talks about everything but.
I've found drive letters, filenames, extensions, shortened (8.3) names, and full paths - but no relative paths.
I'm running a recursive FOR /R loop; which traverses sub-directories. I would like something - that doesn't have twenty characters of useless path info - that tells me which directory each duplicate file lives in... without hardcoding the .bat file to live in a certain directory/path?
Maybe a solution would be to measure the length of the script's path and cut that off of the front of the full path? But I don't know how to manipulate that.
Script could be in many locations:
F:\a.bat<BR>
F:\Dir1\fileA.txt<BR>
F:\Dir20\fileA.txt
C:\Users\Longusername\Desktop\Container\a.bat<BR>
C:\Users\Longusername\Desktop\Container\Dir1\fileA<BR>
C:\Users\Longusername\Desktop\Container\Dir20\fileA
And right now the only options I have for output are (%%~nxG):
fileA.txt
fileA.txt
Which doesn't tell me which directory each file is in...or (%%~pnxG)
\Users\Longusername\Desktop\Container\Dir1\fileA.txt
\Users\Longusername\Desktop\Container\Dir20\fileA.txt
What I'd like, from any location:
\Dir1\fileA.txt
\Dir20\fileA.txt
Could be missing the leading \, but that's negligible. Other options than echo are permissible if they'll work on most window machines. They may lead to more questions, though - as I've figured out my other pieces with echo.
quite easy, if you think about it: just remove the current directory path (%cd%):
#echo off
setlocal enabledelayedexpansion
for /r %%a in (*.txt) do (
set "x=%%a"
echo with \: !x:%cd%\=\!
echo without \: !x:%cd%\=!
)
By the way: \folder\file always refers to the root of the drive (x:\folder\file), so it's not exactly a relative path.
This is similar to the already accepted answer, but with delayed expansion enabled only where needed. This should correctly output filenames containing ! characters.
#Echo Off
SetLocal DisableDelayedExpansion
Set "TopLevel=C:\Users\LongUserName"
For /R "%TopLevel%" %%A In ("*.txt") Do (
Set "_=%%A"
SetLocal EnableDelayedExpansion
Echo=!_:*%TopLevel%=!
EndLocal
)
Pause
You could also use Set "TopLevel=%~dp0", (the running script's directory) or Set "TopLevel=%~dp0..", (the running script's parent directory)
One potential benefit of the above method is that you can also use a location relative to the current directory for the value of %TopLevel% too, (in this case, based upon the initial example, the current directory would be C:\Users):
Set "TopLevel=LongUserName"
Although this would only work correctly if LongUserName didn't already exist as content of the path earlier in the tree.
You could use xcopy together with its /S (include sub-directories) and /L (list but do not copy) options since it returns relative paths then, so you do not have to do any string manipulation, which might sometimes be a bit dangerous, particularly when the current directory is the root of a drive:
xcopy /L /S /I /Y /R ".\*.txt" "\" | find ".\"
The appended find command constitutes a filter that removes the summary line # File(s) from the output.
To capture the output of the aforementioned command line just use a for /F loop:
for /F "delims=" %%I in ('
xcopy /L /S /I /Y /R ".\*.txt" "\" ^| find ".\"
') do (
rem // Do something with each item:
echo/%%I
)
We are using Jenkins as our CI tool. At present, I have written a batch file, which takes build value from a notepad file (written by developer), and then copies it to the network drive with the build value as a folder.
The batch file is mentioned below
for /f "tokens=2" %%i in ('findstr Build "C:\Program Files (x86)\Jenkins\jobs\**\build.txt"') do set Build=%%i
set Build=%Build:'=%
if not exist "\%Build%\" mkdir "%Build%\"
My motive now is that, if the value in notepad is 6.1 or 6.a, i.e anything after decimal,it doesn't create folder, but places it in 6 subfolder. Alternatively, if the value is full, it creates a parent folder.
The text file, where I get the build number is mentioned below.
#define MyAppVersion '4.0.0.0'
#define MyFullAppVersion '4.1.0.0'
#define BuildNumber '81'
I need to create folder on the basis of value entered in "Build Number". If the value is in decimal, it should create within subfolder, else there should be only a main folder.
With the help of below input, I created below batch file for achieving this, but it didn't worked.
for /f "tokens=2" %%i in ('findstr Build "C:\Folder Check\logs\build.txt"') do set Build=%%i
set Build=%Build:'=%
for /F "tokens=2""delims=." %%j in ('findstr Build "C:\Folder Check\logs\build.txt"') do set "sub=%%j"
if exist "\\network\%Version%\%Build%\" mkdir "\\network\%Build%\%sub%%"
if not exist "\\network\%Version%\%Build%\" mkdir "\\network\%Version%\%Build%\"
if exist "\\network\%Version%\%Build%\%sub%%j" XCOPY /y "C:\Program Files (x86)\Notepad++\readme.txt" "\\network\%Version%\%Build%\%sub%\" /E /S
if not exist "\\172.19.0.4\Departement$\Development\Development RCX\RCX_M02_CSP\INTERNAL RELEASES\CI\%Version%\%Build%\%sub%%" XCOPY /y "C:\Program Files (x86)\Notepad++\readme.txt" "\\network\%Version%\%Build%\" /E /S
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
You could use the following code to split off the period . and everything behind:
for /F "delims=." %%j in ("%Build%") do set "Build=%%j"
Take also a look at the quoted set syntax, which is the one I recommend in general, because no special characters could cause problems that way.
Your if exist syntax appears a bit odd to me; I am not sure where the directory %Build% should be located, because you precede a \ during existence check but you do not during creation. If you want to ensure the directory exists in the current working directory, do not precede the \:
if not exist "%Build%\" mkdir "%Build%"
If you want it to be located in the root directory od the current drive, then do precede it by \, but this is not what you want, I guess.
However, the appended \ is needed to check a directory for existence; not providing it would also check for files.
Anyway, to ensure a directory exists, you do not need to check for existence, you can just create it and suppress the error message that appears in case the directory already exists, like this:
mkdir "%Build%" 2> nul
I am not sure if I interpret the ** in your path specification right, but I assume you are going to let me know...
You can use global wild-cards (*, ?) only in the last element of a path, so C:\Program Files (x86)\Jenkins\jobs\**\build.txt is not valid. In case there is only a single directory in C:\Program Files (x86)\Jenkins\jobs\, you can get it like this:
for /D %%D in ("C:\Program Files (x86)\Jenkins\jobs\*") do set "SubDir=%%~D"
If there are multiple directories and you want to get the last modified one, you could use this:
for /F "eol=: delims=" %%D in ('
dir /B /A:D /O:D "C:\Program Files (x86)\Jenkins\jobs\*"
') do set "SubDir=%%D"
I have the below batchfile that output ReadFile.txt file
cd /d "T:\EMP\SST"
for /r %%i in (T:\EMP\SST) do echo %%i >>D:\MultiThreading\ReadFile.txt
pause
this ReadFile.txt file output
T:\EMP\SST\T:\EMP\SST
T:\EMP\SST\file 11\T:\EMP\SST
T:\EMP\SST\file 12\T:\EMP\SST
T:\EMP\SST\file 13\T:\EMP\SST
I want to remove the directory ouptput T:\EMP\SST so I want my output to be like this
file 11
file 12
file 13
how to do this
I believe you actually need for /D rather than for /R for your task (because I assume file 11, file 12, file 13 are actually directories as they are enumerated by for /R):
for /D %%I in (T:\EMP\SST\*) do echo %%~nxI
Anyway, your for /R syntax is wrong; the directory you want to enumerate recursively needs to be stated immediately after the /R switch (if you omit it, the current directory is assumed), and you need to provide a set (that is the part in between parentheses) that constitutes a pure file name pattern only, without any (absolute or relative) paths, like *.*, for example, to match all files.
In your code, for /R enumerates the current directory. Since your set is T:\EMP\SST and contains no wildcards (*, ?), it is just appended to the enumerated directories literally, because for accesses the file system only in case wildcards are encountered. That explains your weird output.
you're using FOR in a wrong way. The pattern between the parentheses isn't the start directory, it is the file/directory pattern you want to match. Here I suppose you want *.*
If you only want the filenames (no paths at all) you can write:
#echo off
for /r T:\EMP\SST %%i in (*.*) do echo %%~nxi>>D:\MultiThreading\ReadFile.txt
If you want the filenames + relative paths, it's slightly more complicated but doable, by enabling delayed expansion to be able to remove the path prefix + backslash:
#echo off
setlocal enabledelayedexpansion
set start_path=T:\EMP\SST
for /r %start_path% %%i in (*.*) do (
set f=%%i
echo !f:%start_path%\=!>>D:\MultiThreading\ReadFile.txt
)
This FOR command is cryptic and I have to read the help (FOR /?) everytime, but the fact is: everything useful is in there so I do it all the time :)
I have a batch script that:
read input files from a folder
elaborate them
store output files in another folder
Example code:
set pathTmp=D:\a\b\c
set pathIn=%pathTmp%\in
set pathOut=%pathTmp%\out
for /f %%i in ('dir /b %pathIn%') do (
java XXX.jar %pathIn%\%%i >> %pathOut%\%%i
)
Now I'd like to modify it to read files from all subfolders of pathIn and put the output file in the same subfolder but under pathOut.
Example: if input file is in pathIn\zzz, the output file must be in pathOut\zzz.
How can I recreate the input subfolder structure inside output folder?
I would use xcopy together with the /L switch (to list files that would be copied) to retrieve the relative paths. For this to work, you need to change to the directory %pathIn% first and specify a relative source path (for this purpose, the commands pushd and popd can be used).
For example, when the current working directory is D:\a\b\c\in and its content is...:
D:\a\b\c\in
| data.bin
+---subdir1
| sample.txt
| sample.xml
\---subdir2
anything.txt
...the command line xcopy /L /I /S /E "." "D:\a\b\c\out" would return:
.\data.bin
.\subdir1\sample.txt
.\subdir1\sample.xml
.\subdir2\anything.txt
3 File(s)
As you can see there are paths relative to the current directory. To get rid of the summary line 3 File(s), the find ".\" command line is used to return only those lines containing .\.
So here is the modified script:
set "pathTmp=D:\a\b\c"
set "pathIn=%pathTmp%\in"
set "pathOut=%pathTmp%\out"
pushd "%pathIn%"
for /F "delims=" %%I in ('xcopy /L /I /S /E "." "%pathOut%" ^| find ".\"') do (
md "%pathOut%\%%I\.." > nul 2>&1
java "XXX.jar" "%%I" > "%pathOut%\%%I"
)
popd
Additionally, I placed md "%pathOut%\%%I\.." > nul 2>&1 before the java command line so that the directory is created in advance, not sure if this is needed though. The redirection > nul 2>&1 avoids any output, including error messages, to be displayed.
I put quotation marks around all paths in order to avoid trouble with white-spaces or any special characters in them. I also quoted the assignment expressions in the set command lines.
You need to specify the option string "delims=" in the for /F command line, because the default options tokens=1 and delims=TABSPACE would split your paths unintentionally at the first white-space.
Note that the redirection operator >> means to append to a file if it already exists. To overwrite, use the > operator (which I used).
You could do something like this:
#setlocal EnableDelayedExpansion
#echo off
set pathTmp=D:\a\b\c
set pathIn=%pathTmp%\in
set pathOut=%pathTmp%\out
REM set inLength=ADD FUNCTION TO CALCULATE LENGTH OF PATHIN
for /f %%i in ('dir /b /s %pathIn%') do (
set var=%%i
java XXX.jar %%i >> %pathOut%\!var:~%inLength%!
)
This will strip the length of the pathIn directory from the absolute path leaving only the relative path. Then it appends the relative path onto the pathOut var
You would need to find or write a function to get the length of the the pathIn string. Check out some solutions here.
