What I am trying to do is replace part of a file name with my computer name.
#echo off
set host=%COMPUTERNAME%
set host=%host:~4, -2%
for /f "delims=" %%a in ('dir /a:-d /o:n /b') do call :next "%%a"
pause
GOTO:EOF
:next
set "newname=%~nx1"
set "newname=%newname:XXXX=zzzz%"
echo ren %1 "%newname%
When I run the above, it replaces the XXXX's with zzzz's
When I change set "newname=%newname:XXXX=zzzz%" to set "newname=%newname:XXXX=%host%"it just deletes the X's.
What happens if you use delayed expansion?
#Echo Off
SetLocal EnableDelayedExpansion
Set "Host=%COMPUTERNAME:~4,2%"
For /F "Delims=" %%A In ('Dir /B/A-D/ON') Do (Set "NewName=%%~nA"
Echo Ren "%%~A" "!NewName:XXXX=%Host%!%%~xA"
Pause
GoTo :EOF

How can I create a batch script that opens a random folder within a specific directory? This code here prints out a randomly chosen file(I need it to open the folder, not the file) but I could not figure out how to open it.
#Echo Off
:Start
set directory="D:\Movies"
set count=0
for /f %%f in ('dir "%directory%" /b /s') do set /a count+=1
set /a randN=%random% %% %count% +1
set listN=0
for /f "tokens=1* delims=:" %%I in ('dir "%directory%" /a-d /b /s^| findstr /n /r . ^| findstr /b "%randN%"') do set filename=%%J
:Found
echo %filename%
pause
goto Start
I suddenly realised what I was doing wrong and solved the problem. Here is the final and working code:
#Echo Off
:Start
set directory="D:\Film"
set count=0
for /f %%f in ('dir "%directory%" /ad /b /s') do set /a count+=1
set /a randN=%random% %% %count% +1
set listN=0
for /f "tokens=1* delims=:" %%I in ('dir "%directory%" /ad /b /s^| findstr /n /r . ^| findstr /b "%randN%"') do set filename=%%J
:Found
%SystemRoot%\explorer.exe %filename%
exit /b
goto Start
You really shouldn't need to increment a count and use findstr for such a task; just assigning and sorting a random number should do:
#Echo Off
Set "source=D:\Film"
SetLocal EnableDelayedExpansion
For /D %%A In ("%source%\*") Do Set "$[!RANDOM!]=%%A"
For /F "Tokens=1* Delims==" %%A In ('"Set $[ 2>Nul|Sort"'
) Do Set "target=%%B" & GoTo Found
Exit /B
:Found
Explorer "%target%"
If you wanted a recursive directory search then change line 5 to:
For /D /R "%source%" %%A In (*) Do Set "$[!RANDOM!]=%%A"
I did batch file which copy 3 files and need to rename it by removing last 33 characters. The copy works fine but removing last 33 characters not... I saw more then one answer on web and try it all but nothing work so far.
My batch file look like this:
for /f "delims=" %%i in ("my folder") do (
ren "%%i" "%i:~0,-33%".txt
)
I tried already:
set fName=%%i
ren "%fName%" "%fName:~0,-33%.txt"
From the information I got here, try this:
#echo off
setlocal enabledelayedexpansion
set "folderpath=[Your Folder Here...]"
cd %folderpath%
for /f %%a in ('dir /b "*.txt"') do (
set "fname=%%~na"
ren "%%a" "!fname:~0,-33!.txt"
)
endlocal
This is similar to the answer above. You should make sure the batch file is OUTSIDE the folder.
EDIT.
When dealing with variables formed inside FOR and IF's, use delayed expansion (i.e. !var!, instead of %var%). Anyway, this is the fixed code:
#echo off
setlocal enabledelayedexpansion
::NO Last Backslash...
set "sourcepath=C:\Users\tzahi.k\Desktop\testSource\source2"
set "folderpath=C:\Users\tzahi.k\Desktop\testSource\des"
for /F "delims=" %%a in ('dir /b /od "%sourcepath%\*.txt"') do (
set "youngest=%%a"
xcopy /y "%sourcepath%\!youngest!" "%folderpath%"
)
cd /d %folderpath%
for /f %%a in ('dir /b "*.txt"') do (
set "fname=%%~na"
ren "%%a" "!fname:~0,-33!.txt"
)
endlocal
pause
Here's the batch file you'd want to run:
#echo off
Setlocal EnableDelayedExpansion
#for /f "delims=" %%i in ('dir /b *.txt') do (
set fname=%%~ni
set fname=!fname:~0,-33!.txt
ren "%%i" "!fname!"
)
endlocal
This should work
#echo off
setlocal enabledelayedexpansion
set FOLDER_PATH=C:\Some\Path\
for %%f in (%FOLDER_PATH%*) do if %%f neq %~nx0 (
set "filename=%%~nf"
ren "%%f" "!filename:~0,-33!%%~xf"
)
PAUSE
Or better this
#echo off & setLocal enableDELAYedeXpansion
for /f "tokens=* delims= " %%a in ('dir /b *.txt') do (
set F=%%~Na
set F=!F:~0,33!
move /y "%%a" "!F!%%~Xa"
)
Everyday, a document is created automatically named articles.txt.
I have to make several changes to the document.
After the changes made the document is named articles_Final + date.txt
As example : articles_Final_2016_01_07.txt
The documents are then moved to a directory ". \ HISTO \ FINAL".
I have to compare the two last document created and to write the difference in a new document result.txt
I show you my code for findind the two last documents
#echo off & cls
SETLOCAL EnableDelayedExpansion
set "Dossier=.\HISTO\Final"
set /a "n=0, limit=2"
for /F "delims=" %%a in ('dir /B /A-D /O-D /T:W "%Dossier%\*.*"') do (
echo "%%a"
2>nul set /a "n+=1, 1/(limit-n)"||goto :break
)
:break
pause
exit
And le code who compare the two document
Here, I write the name of them but i would like to find the way to write automaticly the result of my first code
findstr /v /g:articles_Final_2016_01_04.txt articles_Final_2016_02_04.txt >result.txt
#echo off
cls
SETLOCAL EnableDelayedExpansion
set "Dossier=.\HISTO\Final"
set /a "n=0, limit=2"
for /F "delims=" %%a in ('dir /B /A-D /O-D /T:W "%Dossier%\*.*"') do (
echo "%%a"
set "file[!n!]=%%a"
2>nul set /a "n+=1, 1/(limit-n)"||goto :break
)
:break
set file
echo findstr /v /g:%Dossier%\%file[0]% %Dossier%\%file[1]%
pause
exit
(untried)
The findstr command will just be echoed - you'd need to check it and redirect the output.
the set file command is simply a way of displaying all variables that start with file.
Here, the final solution
#echo off
cls
SETLOCAL EnableDelayedExpansion
set "Dossier=.\HISTO\FINAL"
set /a "n=0, limit=2"
for /F "delims=" %%a in ('dir /B /A-D /O-D /T:W "%Dossier%\*.*"') do (
echo "%%a"
set "file[!n!]=%%a"
2>nul set /a "n+=1, 1/(limit-n)"||goto :break
)
:break
set file
findstr /v /g:%Dossier%\%file[0]% %Dossier%\%file[1]% >>difference.txt
::fc /L %Dossier%\%file[0]% %Dossier%\%file[1]% >>difference.txt
pause
exit
I have a text file with a list of server IP addresses and the code below (which I've scrapped together from other coding) loops through it and brings back a modified date of a named file for each server in the list...
#ECHO On
SETLOCAL
FOR /f %%a IN (C:\Scripts\Servers.txt) DO (
CALL :getmod %%a
)
GOTO :EOF
:getmod
SET Server=%1
SET File=Abs_Client.exe
FOR %%i IN ("\\%Server%\C$\Com_Dir\%File%") DO SET modif_time=%%~ti
Echo %Server% %File% %modif_time% >> "C:\Scripts\Server_App_Mod_date.txt"
GOTO :eof
That works great...however, what I'd like to do is create another loop around it which creates a variable for each file in a directory and pass that into the code above instead of having to manually change the 'SET File' as shown above for individual files.
Something along the lines of;
#ECHO On
SETLOCAL
FOR /D %VAR IN ("\\Network_Location\AppMedia\App Source Files\Prod Apps\Server_Update") DO (
FOR /f %%a IN (C:\Scripts\Servers.txt) DO (
CALL :getmod %%a
)
GOTO :EOF
:getmod
SET Server=%1
SET File=%VAR
FOR %%i IN ("\\%Server%\C$\Com_Dir\%File%") DO SET modif_time=%%~ti
Echo %Server% %File% %modif_time% >> "C:\Scripts\Server_App_Mod_date.txt"
GOTO :eof
)
Clearly it's wrong so any ideas/help please?
haven't testet, but maybe a hint in the right direction:
#ECHO ON
SETLOCAL
FOR /F "TOKENS=*" %%F IN ('DIR "\\Network_Location\AppMedia\App Source Files\Prod Apps\Server_Update" /s /b /a:-d') DO (
FOR /F %%A IN (C:\Scripts\Servers.txt) DO (
CALL :getmod %%A "%%~nxF"
)
)
GOTO :EOF
:getmod
SET Server=%1
SET "tmpFile=%~2"
FOR %%I IN ("\\%Server%\C$\Com_Dir\%tmpFile%") DO ECHO %Server% %tmpFile% %%~tI >> "C:\Scripts\Server_App_Mod_date.txt"
GOTO :EOF
As far as i know, FOR /D only executes for directorys and if i understand your question, you have files in "Prod Apps\Server_Update", for each you like to have the file-date/time from the target-server... right?
Edit:
Maybe this works too:
FOR /F "TOKENS=*" %%F IN ('DIR "\\Network_Location\AppMedia\App Source Files\Prod Apps\Server_Update" /s /b /a:-d') DO (
FOR /F %%A IN (C:\Scripts\Servers.txt) DO (
FOR %%X IN ("\\%%A\C$\Com_Dir\%%~nxF") DO ECHO %%A %%~nxF %%~tX >> "C:\Scripts\Server_App_Mod_date.txt"
)
)
without the :getmod
Edit: /b-switch was missing from the first DIR-Command in 2nd suggestion
#ECHO On
SETLOCAL
FOR /f %%a IN (C:\Scripts\Servers.txt) DO (
FOR /f "delims=" %%i IN ('dir /b/a-d "\\%%a\C$\Com_Dir\*"') DO Echo %%a %%i %%~ti >> "C:\Scripts\Server_App_Mod_date.txt"
)
GOTO :EOF
Should work, IIUC. Can't test, I'm afraid...
[Edit - removed call to getmod - not required]
I have the following batch file script code to run. When I run it, it executes successfully, but does not close the cmd window automatically. What should I add to have it close the window automatically?
::Copy Files Made Or Modified Today
#echo off
setlocal
set source=c:\src
set dest=c:\dest
pushd "%source%"
set t=%date:~4%
for /f %%a in ('dir /b /a-d /o-d') do call :PROCESS "%%a"
goto :eof
popd
:PROCESS
for /f %%j in ('echo %~t1') do set d=%%j
if "%d%"=="%t%" copy %1 "%dest%"
goto :eof
Test this if you are clicking on the batch file.
#echo off
