I have a bunch of files:
CAR_003.dat
CAR_003.obj
CAR_004_prev0.png
CAR_004_prev1.png
CAR_004_tex0.tga
I need to rename them to:
CAR_002.dat
CAR_002.obj
CAR_003_prev0.png
CAR_003_prev1.png
CAR_003_tex0.tga
how I can do this with cmd on windows in a batch?
You need to execute the following batch in the directory you want.
It will rename everything in the tree.
#ECHO off
SETLOCAL EnableDelayedExpansion
FOR /R %%f in (CAR*) DO (
FOR /F "usebackq tokens=1,2,* delims=_" %%m in ('%%~nxf') do (
SET filePath=%%~dpf
SET filePrefix=%%m_
SET /a fileNumber=1%%~nn-1001
SET fileNumber=000!fileNumber!
SET fileNumber=!fileNumber:~-3!
SET filePosfix=%%~no
SET fileExt=%%~xf
IF [!filePosfix!] EQU [] (
SET fileRest=%%~xf
) ELSE (
SET fileRest=_!filePosfix!!fileExt!
)
REM ECHO %%f
REM ECHO !filePath!!filePrefix!!fileNumber!!fileRest!
REM ECHO ~~~~~~~
MOVE "%%f" "!filePath!!filePrefix!!fileNumber!!fileRest!"
)

I am a newbie to Windows Scripting.
I am trying to list some txt files in several sub directories & want to copy a user selected file to a new destination. Please note that the file name is unique in different locations.
I got the first part to work (Listing out the files & locations) using the following script, but I am unable to copy the selected file to the new location.
#ECHO OFF
SET index=1
SETLOCAL ENABLEDELAYEDEXPANSION
SET FFPath="C:\Scripts - Backup Server\DKXpress_bkp"
SET NewPath=C:\DKServer
ECHO Recursively searching %FFPath%
echo.
FOR /F "delims=" %%f in ('DIR %FFPath%\*.txt /a:-d /s /b') DO (
SET file!index!=%%f
ECHO !index! - %%f
SET /A index=!index!+1
)
SETLOCAL DISABLEDELAYEDEXPANSION
SET /P selection="select file by number:"
SET file%selection% >nul 2>&1
IF ERRORLEVEL 1 (
ECHO invalid number selected
EXIT /B 1
)
SET NewFile=file%selection%
ECHO Copying %NewFile% to %NewPath%
ECHO.
COPY /Y "%NewFile%" "%NewPath%"
ECHO.
PAUSE
I think I am doing this part wrong
SET NewFile=file%selection%
Thank you all in advance
You don't need to set an index variable or delayed expansion, if you let Find do the work for you:
#Echo Off
Set "FFPath=C:\Scripts - Backup Server\DKXpress_bkp"
Set "NewPath=C:\DKServer"
Echo Recursively searching %FFPath%
Echo=
For /F "Delims==" %%A In ('"Set File[ 2>Nul"') Do Set "%%A="
For /F "Tokens=1* Delims=]" %%A In (
'"Dir /B/S/A-D-S-L "%FFPath%\*.txt" 2>Nul|Find /N /V """') Do (
Echo %%A] %%B
Set "File%%A]=%%B"
)
Echo=
Set /P "#=Select file by number: "
Echo=
For /F "Tokens=1* Delims==" %%A In ('"Set File[%#%] 2>Nul"') Do (
Echo Copying %%B to %NewPath%&Echo=
Copy /Y "%%B" "%NewPath%"
GoTo :End
)
Echo Invalid number selected
:End
Echo=
Pause
You need to use delayed expansion to get the file name assigned to the variable correctly.
SET NewFile=!file%selection%!
Remove the setlocal to disable delayed expansion.
You can try something like that :
#ECHO OFF
:Main
cls
SET index=1
SETLOCAL ENABLEDELAYEDEXPANSION
SET FFPath="C:\Scripts - Backup Server\DKXpress_bkp"
SET "NewPath=C:\DKServer"
ECHO Recursively searching %FFPath%
echo.
FOR /F "delims=" %%f in ('DIR %FFPath%\*.txt /a:-d /s /b') DO (
SET filepath[!index!]=%%f
ECHO [!index!] - %%~nxf - %%f
SET /A index=!index!+1
)
echo(
echo select file by number :
set /p Input=""
For /L %%i in (1,1,%index%) Do (
If "%INPUT%" EQU "%%i" (
ECHO Copying "!filepath[%%i]!" to "!NewPath!"
COPY /Y "!filepath[%%i]!" "!NewPath!"
)
)
echo Copying another file ? (Y = Yes or N = No) ?
set /p input2=""
If /I "!input2!"=="Y" (
goto :Main
) else (
goto :eof
)
I have to check a tree for duplicating files and write all of them to List.txt file.
But my script seems to skip one of the file locations in each group. (For example, if there are 4 duplicating files, only 3 of them appear in the list.)
If I'm not mistaken, it's the location of the "previousFile" of the last comparison that is missing. How do I write it to the list, too?
Also, how can I group paths in the List.txt by the filename so that it looks something like this:
File fileNameA.txt :
C:\path1\fileNameA.txt
C:\path2\fileNameA.txt
C:\path3\fileNameA.txt
File fileNameB.txt :
C:\path1\fileNameB.txt
C:\path2\fileNameB.txt
C:\path3\fileNameB.txt
C:\path4\fileNameB.txt
File fileNameC.txt :
C:\path1\fileNameC.txt
C:\path2\fileNameC.txt
...
?
That's my script so far:
#echo off
setlocal disableDelayedExpansion
set root=%1
IF EXIST List.txt del /F List.txt
set "prevTest=none"
set "prevFile=none"
for /f "tokens=1-3 delims=:" %%A in (
'"(for /r "%root%" %%F in (*) do #echo %%~zF:%%~fF:)|sort"'
) do (
set "currentTest=%%A"
set "currentFile=%%B:%%C"
setlocal enableDelayedExpansion
set "match="
if !currentTest! equ !previousTest! fc /b "!previousFile!" "!currentFile!" >nul && set match=1
if defined match (
echo File "!currentFile!" >> List.txt
endlocal
) else (
endlocal
set "previousTest=%%A"
set "previousFile=%%B:%%C"
)
)
You need to count matches and add echo previous filename to echo current one in case of the first match.
Note '"(for /r "%root%" %%F in (*) do #echo(%%~nxF?%%~zF?%%~fF?)|sort"' changes:
used ? (question mark) as a delimiter: reserved character by Naming Files, Paths, and Namespaces
added %%~nxF? prefix to sort output properly by file names even in my sloppy test folder structure, see sample output below.
This output shows than even cmd poisonous characters (like &, %, ! etc.) in file names are handled properly with DisableDelayedExpansion kept.
#ECHO OFF
SETLOCAL EnableExtensions DisableDelayedExpansion
set "root=%~1"
if not defined root set "root=%CD%"
set "previousTest="
set "previousFile="
set "previousName="
set "match=0"
for /f "tokens=1-3 delims=?" %%A in (
'"(for /r "%root%" %%F in (*) do #echo(%%~nxF?%%~zF?%%~fF?x)|sort"'
) do (
set "currentName=%%A"
set "currentTest=%%B"
set "currentFile=%%C"
Call :CompareFiles
)
ENDLOCAL
goto :eof
:CompareFiles
if /I "%currentName%" equ "%previousName%" ( set /A "match+=1" ) else ( set "match=0" )
if %match% GEQ 1 (
if %match% EQU 1 echo FILE "%previousFile%" %previousTest%
echo "%currentFile%" %currentTest%
) else (
set "previousName=%currentName%"
set "previousTest=%currentTest%"
set "previousFile=%currentFile%"
)
goto :eof
Above script lists all files of duplicated names regardless of their size and content. Sample output:
FILE "d:\bat\cliPars\cliParser.bat" 1078
"d:\bat\files\cliparser.bat" 12303
"d:\bat\Unusual Names\cliparser.bat" 12405
"d:\bat\cliparser.bat" 335
FILE "d:\bat\Stack33721424\BÄaá^ cčD%OS%Ď%%OS%%(%1!)&°~%%G!^%~2.foo~bar.txt" 120
"d:\bat\Unusual Names\BÄaá^ cčD%OS%Ď%%OS%%(%1!)&°~%%G!^%~2.foo~bar.txt" 120
To list all files of duplicated names with the same size but regardless of their content:
:CompareFiles
REM if /I "%currentName%" equ "%previousName%" (
if /I "%currentTest%%currentName%" equ "%previousTest%%previousName%" (
set /A "match+=1"
REM fc /b "%previousFile%" "%currentFile%" >nul && set /A "match+=1"
) else ( set "match=0" )
To list all files of duplicated names with the same size and binary content:
:CompareFiles
REM if /I "%currentName%" equ "%previousName%" (
if /I "%currentTest%%currentName%" equ "%previousTest%%previousName%" (
REM set /A "match+=1"
fc /b "%previousFile%" "%currentFile%" >nul && set /A "match+=1"
) else ( set "match=0" )
Edit If the name of the file doesn't matter (only its contents), you could apply next changes in FOR loop and in :CompareFiles subroutine:
#ECHO OFF
SETLOCAL EnableExtensions DisableDelayedExpansion
set "root=%~1"
if not defined root set "root=%CD%"
set "previousTest="
set "previousFile="
set "match=0"
for /f "tokens=1-2 delims=?" %%A in (
'"(for /r "%root%" %%F in (*) do #echo(%%~zF?%%~fF?)|sort"'
) do (
set "currentTest=%%A"
set "currentFile=%%B"
rem optional: skip all files of zero length
if %%A GTR 0 Call :CompareFiles
)
ENDLOCAL
goto :eof
:CompareFiles
if /I "%currentTest%" equ "%previousTest%" (
fc /b "%previousFile%" "%currentFile%" >nul && set /A "match+=1"
) else ( set "match=0" )
if %match% GEQ 1 (
if %match% EQU 1 echo FILE "%previousFile%" %previousTest%
echo "%currentFile%" %currentTest%
) else (
set "previousTest=%currentTest%"
set "previousFile=%currentFile%"
)
goto :eof
I need a batch file ( Windows CMD is the interpreter, a .bat ) to do this type of task:
1) Search through a folder and its subfolders
2) Find files with the same filename and extension ( aka duplicates )
3) Check if they have the same size
4) If same name + same size, echo all the files except the first one ( practically I need to delete all except one copy )
Thanks for any type of help
This is only an initial script, just for check the files, in a folder and its subfolders, and their size:
#Echo off
Setlocal EnableDelayedExpansion
Set Dir=C:\NewFolder
For /r "%Dir%" %%i in (*) do (
Set FileName=%%~nxi
Set FullPath=%%i
Set Size=%%~zi
Echo "!FullPath!" - SIZE: !Size!
)
Echo.
Pause
This script does what you ask. Just set the ROOT variable at the top to point to the root of your tree.
#echo off
setlocal disableDelayedExpansion
set root="c:\test"
set "prevTest=none"
set "prevFile=none"
for /f "tokens=1-3 delims=:" %%A in (
'"(for /r "%root%" %%F in (*) do #echo %%~znxF:%%~fF:)|sort"'
) do (
set "currTest=%%A"
set "currFile=%%B:%%C"
setlocal enableDelayedExpansion
if !currTest! equ !prevTest! echo "!currFile!"
endlocal
set "prevTest=%%A"
)
But you can make the test more precise by using FC to compare the contents of the files. Also, you can incorporate the DEL command directly in the script. The script below prints out the commands that would delete the duplicate files. Remove the ECHO before the DEL command when you are ready to actually delete the files.
#echo off
setlocal disableDelayedExpansion
set root="c:\test"
set "prevTest=none"
set "prevFile=none"
for /f "tokens=1-3 delims=:" %%A in (
'"(for /r "%root%" %%F in (*) do #echo %%~znxF:%%~fF:)|sort"'
) do (
set "currTest=%%A"
set "currFile=%%B:%%C"
setlocal enableDelayedExpansion
set "match="
if !currTest! equ !prevTest! fc /b "!prevFile!" "!currFile!" >nul && set match=1
if defined match (
echo del "!currFile!"
endlocal
) else (
endlocal
set "prevTest=%%A"
set "prevFile=%%B:%%C"
)
)
Both sets of code may seem overly complicated, but it is only because I have structured the code to be robust and avoid problems that can plague simple solutions. For example, ! in file names can cause problems with FOR variables if delayed expansion is enabled, and = in file name causes a problem with npocmoka's solution.
#echo off
setlocal
for /f "tokens=1 delims==" %%# in ('set _') do (
set "%%#="
)
for /r %%a in (*.*) do (
if not defined _%%~nxa%%~za (
set "_%%~nxa%%~za=%%~fa"
) else (
echo %%~fa
)
)
endlocal
I have the script
for /f "delims=" %%i in ('dir "%folder%*.txt" /b /s') do (
set s=%%i
set s=!s:%folder%=!
set new_s=!s:\=!
if "x!new_s!" NEQ "x!s!" (
:ProcessListSource
For /f "tokens=1* delims=\" %%A in ("!s!") do (
if "%%A" NEQ "" (
if "!Folder1!" NEQ "" (
Set Folder1=!Folder1!\!Name!
)else (
Set Folder1=!Name!
)
Set Name=%%A
)
if "%%B" NEQ "" (
set s=%%B
goto :ProcessListSource
)
)
echo Folder is: !Folder1!
echo Name is: !Name!
echo ---------------------
) else (
echo Not a folder !s!
)
)
but it does not work as I would have expected:
The first for is executed only once and also the last echo is printed on the screen.
Given a folder I need the files from subfolders without the given folder and than split them into the folder and file
Ex: folder=C:\test
The for would give me the file C:\test\test1\test2\t.txt
And I need test1\test2 and t.txt
GOTO breaks your FOR /F \ IF context and they can be executed only once.
More simple example:
#echo off
for /l %%S in (1=1=5) do (
echo %%S
goto :inner_label
rem
:inner_label
rem
)
This will print only 1 . Do you really need the GOTO here?
When the parser reads your code, all the code inside your for loop is "considered" as only one command that is readed, parsed and executed. As stated in the npocmaka answer, any goto call takes you out of this "line" of code, ending the process of the for loop.
This is a alternative. Use pushd + xcopy /l /s commands to generate a list of the relative paths of the files.
#echo off
setlocal enableextensions disabledelayedexpansion
set "folder=%cd%"
pushd "%folder%"
for /f "delims=" %%a in ('xcopy /l /s /y * "%temp%"^|findstr /vbr /c:"[0-9]"'
) do for /f "delims=: tokens=1,*" %%b in ("%%~a") do (
echo [%%c] [%%~nxa]
)
popd

My idea is to to do the filetring through the :concat subroutine, problem is set is_env_to_exclude=yes insrtuction inside the for loop isn't working, when i execute the script the echo flag is displaying but the set is_env_to_exclude is always set to no.
I think what you need is to break the loop:
echo the environment is %1
set is_env_to_exclude=no
for %%L in (%env_to_exclude%) do (
set is_env_to_exclude=no
for /f "usebackq delims=" %%U in (`echo %1 ^| findstr %%L`) do (
set is_env_to_exclude=yes
echo flag du Ellouze
goto :break_loop
)
)
:break_loop
echo %is_env_to_exclude%
as on each iteration over %env_to_exclude% items the is_env_to_exclude is set to no.
Although the code is a little bit complicated for me :)
It really depends on the contents of env_to_exclude.
is_env_to_exclude will be set to no for each %%L, so even if it is set to yes once, if there are more elements processed after it's been set, it will be re-set to no.
The
set is_env_to_exclude=no
in the loop seems to be the culprit; removing it would seem to fix the problem.
AAMOI, set "flag=" and set flag=Y allows if [not] defined flag which has the added advantage that the CURRENT status of the flag is available within a FOR loop without needing enabledelayedexpansion.
