i have a text file logging timestamps from ffprobe on video durations of some video files, which that text file looks like this:
14.068700
5.043011
84.071967
5.043011
104.058600
5.043011
134.055234
5.056000 ....
I am trying to add these up, since batch files do not allow for floating numbers i chose to use powershell. here is my following code:
set total=0
for /f "tokens=*" %%x in (timestamps.txt) do (
set item=%%x
echo !item!
for /f "delims=." %%i in ('powershell %total% + %item%') DO SET total=%%i
echo %total%
)
but again it seems cause it is a floating number i am unable to do something like
SET /a total=%total% + %total%
so that i can not add that as a variable in this line:
powershell %total% + %item%
I have tried every combo i can think of with no luck, lots of searches and nothing comes back.
any idea how to do this or is there a better way to add up all these in pure batch ?
a pure Powershell solution would have been much simpler, but seeing as you require batch-file with powershell:
#echo off
setlocal enabledelayedexpansion & set nums=
for /f "usebackq delims=" %%x in ("timestamps.txt") do set nums=!nums!%%x+
for /f "delims=" %%i in ('powershell %nums:~0,-1%') do set "total=%%i"
echo Total: %total%
We just append all the numbers with the operator + to a variable, then pass that variable to powershell and get the result.
Note! delayedexpansion is needed because we are setting
or by utilizing powershell to do all the work and simply assign the result to the variable:
#echo off
for /f "delims=" %%i in ('"powershell -command (Get-Content -Path "timestamps.txt" ^| Measure-Object -Sum^).Sum"') do set "total=%%i"
echo Total: %total%
so this is what i came up with, not as elegant as it possibly can be BUT it is working. Wish it was a bit quicker but PowerShell slows things down a bit but definitely worth it!
its crazy to think when doing dos they never thought of using floating numbers, lol
anyways here is code:
set seconds=0
set item=0
for /f "tokens=*" %%t in (%filename%_copy_two%fileextension%) do (
set item=%%t
for /f %%i in ('powershell !item!+!seconds!') do (set seconds=%%i)
)
for /f %%i in ('powershell -NoP "[Math]::Round(!seconds!/ 60,2)"') do (set minutes=%%i)
set HH=00

I hope this helps someone out! kind of stinks i cant ask a question for 6 months for this question considering there is NOT solution that I can find that met me OP
And once again I posted my solution after a question which I try to do every time, have a great day!
EDIT: thanks to #Gerhard
I have changed to this, but leaving the code here in case someone needs for a similar issue in a different way.
for /f "delims=" %%i in ('"powershell -command (Get-Content -Path "%filename%_copy_two%fileextension%" ^| Measure-Object -Sum^).Sum"') do set "seconds=%%i"
for /f %%i in ('powershell -NoP "[Math]::Round(!seconds!/ 60,2)"') do (set minutes=%%i)
Then keeping the same as is till someone posts a better solution.
You can achieve this in a very simple and pure Batch file that run much faster than any PS:
#echo off
setlocal
set /A factor=1000000, total=0
for /F "tokens=1,2 delims=." %%a in (timestamps.txt) do set /A total+=%%a*factor+1%%b-factor
echo %total:~0,-6%.%total:~-6%
Of course, this solution is so simple because it assumes that all input numbers have 6 decimals! If this is not the case, then the code should be modified accordingly...
I have a long list and i want to split it up in parts that will wait for an external trigger to go on.
At first I tried a for loop that did 100 rows per run.
But because of differences in workload on the pc the amount of time it takes varies.
So i was wondering, is it possible to loop the FOR statement for a set time.
But could not find any example.
After adding the suggestion stephan made to use a for loop with delayed expansion, it now works.
How to include a maximum run time in the for loop?
'''

)

set /A function_endtime=start+(4*100)

'''
you can't put code between goto and the :label I guess you completely misinterpreted my comment. Your code should look like:
...
FOR /F "tokens=1,2 delims=," %%A IN (C:\test.txt) DO (
echo %%A %%B
set "last_value=%%B"
if "!time!" geq "%function_endtime%" goto :done

I have to make a script that has to calculate the mask and the net, so I'm trying a script with for but it can not convert the IP to binary. I think I'm not using the variables right.
Any ideas?
#echo off
setlocal enabledelayedexpansion
set var=%1
set /p var=Introduce la ip:
for /F "tokens=1 delims=." %%a in ("%var%") do (
echo %%a
set "vara=%%a"
:binario
set bin=2
set /a resto=%vara%%%bin%
set /a a=%vara%/%bin%
set resultado=%resto%%resultado%
if %vara% GTR 0 (goto binario)
echo %resultado%
goto siguiente
)
:siguiente
for /F "tokens=2 delims=." %%b in ("%var%") do (
echo %%b
)
for /F "tokens=3 delims=." %%c in ("%var%") do (
echo %%c
)
for /F "tokens=4 delims=." %%d in ("%var%") do (
echo %%d
)
goto fin
:vacio
echo Error!
goto fin
:fin
pause
You've got a few minor problems that I see. You set var=%1 but you never check to see whether %1 was supplied before doing set /p var=Enter an IP:. You never call or goto :vacio. As I commented above, modulos within batch scripts need to be written as %% to prevent evaluation as variable chararacters. You don't need % in var names in set /a commands, and you can combine multiple set /a statements with a comma. So instead of
set /a resto=%vara%%%bin%
set /a a=%vara%/%bin%
(which is wrong anyway -- I'll get to that in a minute), I suggest this would be more understandable and maintainable:
set /a resto = vara %% bin, numero = vara / bin
The biggest problem is that you appear to be trying to modify %%a. Don't do that.
If I were you, I would move the decimal to binary conversion to a subroutine, and call it for each octet. Try this:
#echo off
setlocal enabledelayedexpansion
set IP=%1
if "%IP%"=="" set /p "IP=Introduce la ip: "
set idx=0
for %%a in (%IP:.= %) do (
if %%a lss 0 goto vacio
if %%a gtr 255 goto vacio
if !idx! gtr 3 goto vacio
set /P "=%%a = "<NUL
call :dec2bin bin[!idx!] %%a
set /a idx += 1
)
echo %bin[0]%.%bin[1]%.%bin[2]%.%bin[3]%
goto fin
:dec2bin <var_para_definir> <numero>
setlocal enabledelayedexpansion
set numero=%~2
set bin=
for /L %%I in (1,1,8) do (
set /a bit = numero %% 2, numero /= 2
set bin=!bit!!bin!
)
echo %bin%
endlocal & set "%~1=%bin%"
goto :EOF
:vacio
echo Error!
goto fin
:fin
pause

I am new to command scripting.
I need to check if multiple files are available in a directory.
I am able to check the files with the exact names using below script but need direction when the files are with date in the name as shown. the date is as of yesterday, yyyymmdd.
example: metric_cal_enc.20120415.txt, reg_nyc_enc.20120415.txt, ferm_det_enc.20120415.txt
#echo off
echo Check if files are existent in inbound directory
for /f "tokens=*" %%a in (test.txt) do (
echo Checking path %%a
if EXIST %%a (
echo Exists!
) else (
echo Does Not Exist %%a >> log.txt
)
)
Assuming, for lack of an example, that your test.txt file contains
metric_cal_enc.txt
reg_nyc_enc.txt
ferm_det_enc.txt
and you have %yesterday% set up to yesterday's date (don't use a variable %date%)
if EXIST %%~na.%yesterday%%%~xa (
is the only change you'd need.
And here is how you can get Yesterdays date:
#echo off
setlocal
Call :GetDateTime Year Month Day
Echo %Year% %Month% %Day%
Call :SubtractDate %Year% %Month% %Day% -1 Ret
echo %Ret%
exit /b
:SubtractDate Year Month Day <+/-Days> Ret

Is there a way to split the %date% in a batch file (say, in 3 environment variables), but regardless of Regional Settings? Today's date would be 3/13/2013 for US, but with my Regional Settings it is 13.3.2013 - the delimiter is changed and the order as well.
Four years have passed, but this question doesn't get old, and I think now there's a slightly better answer than using wmic (on win7 onwards).
for /F "tokens=1,2,3 delims=_" %%i in ('PowerShell -Command "& {Get-Date -format "MM_dd_yyyy"}"') do (
set MONTH=%%i
set DAY=%%j
set YEAR=%%k
)
echo %MONTH% %DAY% %YEAR%
With powershell Get-Date you can fine-tune the format you want (short,long, numbers,names,etc..). In this example "MM_dd_yyyy" will get you a numeric date with leading zeros in case of single digit months or days
You can do it using wmic (but WMIC isn't included with XP Home):
#ECHO OFF
:: Check WMIC is available
WMIC.EXE Alias /? >NUL 2>&1 || GOTO s_error
:: Use WMIC to retrieve date and time
FOR /F "skip=1 tokens=1-6" %%G IN ('WMIC Path Win32_LocalTime Get Day^,Hour^,Minute^,Month^,Second^,Year /Format:table') DO (
IF "%%~L"=="" goto s_done
Set _yyyy=%%L
Set _mm=00%%J
Set _dd=00%%G
Set _hour=00%%H
SET _minute=00%%I
)
:s_done
:: Pad digits with leading zeros
Set _mm=%_mm:~-2%
Set _dd=%_dd:~-2%
Set _hour=%_hour:~-2%
Set _minute=%_minute:~-2%
:: Display the date/time in ISO 8601 format:
Set _isodate=%_yyyy%-%_mm%-%_dd% %_hour%:%_minute%
Echo %_isodate%
GOTO:EOF
:s_error
Echo GetDate.cmd
Echo Displays date and time independent of OS Locale, Language or date format.
Echo Requires Windows XP Professional, Vista or Windows 7
Echo.
Echo Returns 6 environment variables containing isodate,Year,Month,Day,hour and minute.
And you can do it by parsing the date command to lookup what the current date format is required to be.
The first link indicates you might need to edit the code in the second, on Win7, to handle a few extra wrinkles around short date/long date form.
I've reworked sashoalm's version to take care of the suppressed-leading-zero situation:
#Echo OFF
SETLOCAL
If "%Date%A" LSS "A" (Set _NumTok=1-3) Else (Set _NumTok=2-4)
:: Default Delimiter of TAB and Space are used
For /F "TOKENS=2*" %%A In ('REG QUERY "HKCU\Control Panel\International" /v iDate') Do Set _iDate=%%B
For /F "TOKENS=2*" %%A In ('REG QUERY "HKCU\Control Panel\International" /v sDate') Do Set _sDate=%%B
IF %_iDate%==0 For /F "TOKENS=%_NumTok% DELIMS=%_sdate% " %%F In ("%Date%") Do CALL :procdate %%H %%F %%G
IF %_iDate%==1 For /F "TOKENS=%_NumTok% DELIMS=%_sdate% " %%F In ("%Date%") Do CALL :procdate %%H %%G %%F
IF %_iDate%==2 For /F "TOKENS=%_NumTok% DELIMS=%_sdate% " %%F In ("%Date%") Do CALL :procdate %%F %%G %%H
endlocal&SET YYYYMMDD=%YYYYMMDD%
GOTO :eof
::
:: Date elements are supplied in Y,M,D order but may have a leading zero
::
:procdate
:: if single-digit day then 1%3 will be <100 else 2-digit
IF 1%3 LSS 100 (SET YYYYMMDD=0%3) ELSE (SET YYYYMMDD=%3)
:: if single-digit month then 1%2 will be <100 else 2-digit
IF 1%2 LSS 100 (SET YYYYMMDD=0%2%YYYYMMDD%) ELSE (SET YYYYMMDD=%2%YYYYMMDD%)
:: Similarly for the year - I've never seen a single-digit year
IF 1%1 LSS 100 (SET YYYYMMDD=20%YYYYMMDD%) ELSE (SET YYYYMMDD=%1%YYYYMMDD%)
GOTO :eof
returning YYYYMMDD - substring at your will.
Interestingly, inserting after SETLOCAL
IF NOT "%1"=="" set date=%1
will allow any date in the local sequence (without the dayname) to be decoded to YYYYMMDD (but be careful that 19xx dates provided with the yy form will appear as 20xx - easily compensated-for if you find it necessary)
I have an additional suggestion with robocopy:
#echo off &setlocal enabledelayedexpansion
set "day="
for /f "tokens=3,4,8skip=4delims=: " %%i in ('robocopy') do if not defined day (
set "month=%%i"
set "day=0%%j"
set "year=%%k"
)
set /a cnt=0
for %%i in (Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sep Oct Nov Dec) do (
set /a cnt+=1
if "%%i"=="%month%" set "month=0!cnt!"
)
set "day=%day:~-2%"
set "month=%month:~-2%"
echo.%day%.%month%.%year%
endlocal
Try this: Set_date.cm
#echo off&goto :start
:Set_Date DateEnv [Date] or [/p="Prompt for Date: "] [/r]
echo.
echo.Usage: Set_Date.cmd DateEnv [Date] or [/p="Prompt for Date: "]
echo.Populates date variables labeled: 'DateEnv_???', see below
echo.Accepted date formats:
echo. m-d-y, m/d/y, yyyymmdd, dd-Mon-yy or 7 digit julian date
echo. If "%%date%%" is passed as the 2nd arg it will be interpreted
echo. according to the current regional date setting ie. day dd/mm/yyyy
echo. If /r is passed then the date contained in the DateEnv variable
echo. and/or the [Date] argument will be interpreted in regional format
echo. The /r option should be placed at the end of the list if used
echo. The /r option should only be used if date input is not included
echo. in one of the default listed formats or unexpected consequences...
echo.
echo.DateEnv, if passed alone may be a valid defined date variable or if
echo.undefined then todays date will be used to populate the variables
echo.Two digit years input 'XX' are interpreted as the year '20XX'
echo.Valid dates must be in the year 1601 or greater for the validity check
echo.Returns 0 in errorlevel if the date is valid, else non-zero
echo.
echo.If DateEnv is valid or if [Date] is passed DateEnv_??? will be set to:
echo.DateEnv_mdy will be set to mm-dd-yyyy
echo.DateEnv_ymd will be set to yyyymmdd
echo.DateEnv_y.m.d will be set to yyyy.mm.dd
echo.DateEnv_dte will be set to the current active regional date format
echo.DateEnv_jul will be set to the 7 digit Julian date
echo.DateEnv_dow will be set to day of week, ie. Monday, Tuesday, etc.
echo.DateEnv_vrb will be set to Verbose Date, ie. Saturday, August 20th, 2011
echo.DateEnv_dd will be set to the 2 digit day
echo.DateEnv_mm will be set to the 2 digit month
echo.DateEnv_yyyy will be set to the 4 digit year
echo.DateEnv_month will be set to the month, ie. February or December
echo.DateEnv_mon will be set to the 3 letter month, ie. Jan or Aug
echo.
echo.DateEnv itself will not be changed regardless if its a valid date or not
echo.Also formats yyyymmdd or 7 digit julian date input to desired output
echo.Example: Set_Date today "%%date%%" or Set_Date newyear99 01-Jan-99
echo.
echo.Finally:
echo.If DateEnv is not defined and there is no second argument then %%date%% in
echo.the current regional format will be used to populate the variables
echo.If /p is passed as 2nd argument then quoted 3rd argument will prompt for date
echo.
echo.Examples:
echo. set "AprilsFools=4/1/1"
echo. set_date AprilFools
echo. echo Aprils fools date for 2001 in Julian format is: %%AprilFools_jul%%
echo. echo Aprils fools date in 2001 was on a %AprilFools_dow% ^(Sunday^)
echo. Set_Date birthday /p="Enter your birth date: "
echo. ECHO You were born on a %%birthday_dow%%
echo. set "today="
echo. Set_Date today
echo. echo today is %%today_dte%% or %%today_jul%% in Julian format
echo.
echo.If the '/p' option is used then the _GetString.cmd routine must be in the PATH
echo. or else set/p routine will ask for date with no validity checking

I found this in http://forums.techguy.org/dos-other/837046-solved-date-format-bat-file.html
I've reworked it a bit to actually split it in 3 environment variables.
The downside is it needs to query the registry, probably to find out the order day, month and year.

set "day=%day:~-2%"
set "month=%month:~-2%"

Below there is a pure Batch solution that just use DATE command and %DATE% variable, so it works on any Windows version. To make this program really universal, just add the name of the day and month parts shown by second line of DATE command in other languages, enclosed in slashes. For example, let's suppose that in German the day part is shown as TT, so you just need to modify this value: set DayNames=/dd/tt/ in order to also use this program in German language Windows (besides all the languages that use DD for the day part).
