net use - Causing Echo Redirect to Fail - batch-file

I have a script that successfully scans a specified directory for a list of files, copies the files to a destination folder and generates a log of all files not found in the source. I had to alter this script to include net use in order to map a network drive. Since doing so the script no longer generates the error log as it did before.
I'm very new to this and can't find any information on why this may be happening. Can somebody please help?
#echo off
pause
SETLOCAL ENABLEEXTENSIONS ENABLEDELAYEDEXPANSION
net use U: \\abc\def
SET "src="U:\Source Folder""
SET "dst=C:\Destination Folder"
SET "file_list=C:\files.txt"
SET "out=.\errors.log"
echo > %out%
FOR /F "usebackq eol=| delims=" %%f IN ("%file_list%") DO (
rem just searching to find out existense of file
WHERE /Q /R %src% "%%f"
IF "!ERRORLEVEL!" == "0" (
FOR /F "usebackq eol=| delims=" %%s IN (`WHERE /R %src% "%%f"`) DO (
echo "%%s => %dst%\%%f" >> %out%
#copy /y "%%s" "%dst%\%%f"
)
) ELSE (
echo %%f >> %out%
)
)

Replace echo %%f >> %out% with set /p out=%%f
[Edit]
Sorry I misunderstood your question.
Is it because you have two quotation marks in all of the drive path set?
As in replace
SET "src="U:\Source Folder""
With
SET src="U:\Source Folder"

Batch file to create folder and move file in the folder

I am in the middle of batch extracting screenshots for contents we are planning to use on a tube site I am working on.
The jpeg files per content is labled as followed:
6c82c0239f6eb839-1
6c82c0239f6eb839-2
all the way to 120
The file name is different per content
a82384e2c46ba4af-1
a82384e2c46ba4af-2
etc.
They will all be extracted to a singe folder.
So I basically need a batch file that will create folders based on the content name without the dash and number and move all 120 jpegs in the folder with the content name.
For example:
Create folder named 6c82c0239f6eb839 and
move 6c82c0239f6eb839-1 to 6c82c0239f6eb839-120 in to the created folder.
I saw another thread with the following batch file. its pretty much what I want but the folder name is only 3 characters long and the files are copied to the newly created folders instead of moving them.
#echo off
SetLocal EnableDelayedExpansion
for /F "delims=" %%a in ('dir /b *.jpeg') do (
set Name=%%a
set Folder=!Name:~0,3!
xcopy /y "%%a" !Folder!\
)
Could someone change this so that it will display full file name without the dash and number for the folders and move files in its respective folders instead of copy?
Thank you
#echo off
setlocal
#rem Get each jpeg file.
for /F "delims=" %%A in ('2^>nul dir /b *.jpeg') do (
rem Get filename as token before the dash.
for /f "delims=-" %%B in ("%%~A") do (
rem Make dir if needed.
if not exist "%%~B" md "%%~B"
rem Check if isdir.
2>nul pushd "%%~B" && popd
if errorlevel 1 (
>&2 echo Failed isdir "%%~B".
) else (
rem Do the move operation.
>nul move /y "%%~A" "%%~B"
if errorlevel 1 (
>&2 echo Failed move "%%~A" to "%%~B"
)
)
)
)
exit /b %errorlevel%
The code is well remarked so if you want to understand
the evaluated code by changing #echo off to #echo on.
The use of %errorlevel% after the exit /b is not
required though will let you know what the errorlevel is
when #echo on is used.
The pushd tests for a directory
(even if it is a symlink).
errorlevel is checked to decide if to echo a
error message or do the move.
As the for loop variables are used direct, use of
enabledelayedexpansion is not needed.
Many commands support the argument of /? to get help
about the command. i.e. move /?.
If you only try to copy the correct jpeg to the correct folder, you can do this:
#echo off
SetLocal EnableDelayedExpansion
CD <CORRECT ROOT PATH>
for /F "delims=" %%a in ('dir /b *.jpeg') do (
set Name=%%a
REM I presume all the files have 16 characters before the dash
set Folder=!Name:~0,16!
IF NOT EXIST !Folder! MKDIR !FOLDER!
xcopy /y "%%a" !Folder!\
)
I was not able to test.
First of all, I would like to apologize for my manners regarding my initial post.
The answer by micheal_heath has resolved my issue.
Furthermore, I happened to find this post by user Salmon Trout from a different site which also worked.
Batch file to make folders with part of file name and then copy files
#echo off
setlocal enabledelayedexpansion
for %%A in (*.psd *.jpg) do (
echo file found %%A
for /f "delims=" %%B in ("%%A") do set fname=%%~nB
for /f "delims=" %%C in ("%%A") do set fextn=%%~xC
for /f "tokens=1* delims=_" %%D in ("!fname!") do set folname=%%D
echo folder name !folname!
if not exist "!folname!" (
echo Folder !folname! does not exist, creating
md "!folname!"
) else (
echo Folder !folname! exists
)
echo Moving file %%A to folder !folname!
move "%%A" "!folname!"
)
echo Finished
pause
I just changed the the following line remove the hypen and numbers to create folders for the file name properly.
for /f "tokens=1* delims=-***" %%D in ("!fname!") do set folname=%%D
I still lack the knowledge on why and how both methods work, but this has been an interesting start for me. I hope other beginners trying to solve a similar issue can find something useful from this post.

batch script how to create a string out of different variable parts

in my company we create software for different customers to handle our machines. As each product is unique, so is the control software, but not completely new. So for a start we copy an old project, rename it and change it until it fits.
Usually the directory name is the name for the new program (our ide uses the directory name, but also relies on some other files following the same name scheme).
For the renaming I've wrote a short batch script which finds the old name scheme and retrieves from the directory name the new one.
But the only solution I've found for this uses a new batchfile for each file to be renamed.
Is there a better way to get the content of !progNeu! ?
#echo off
SETLOCAL enabledelayedexpansion
set pfad=%CD%
for /d %%A in (%pfad%) do (set progNeu=%%~nxA)
for /f "tokens=1,2 delims=|" %%B in ('dir /b *.s19 ^| findstr /v "appl"') > do (
set progAlt=%%B
set rumpfAlt=!progAlt:.s19=!
>x ECHO !rumpfAlt!&FOR %%C IN (x) DO SET /A strlength=%%~zC - 2&del x
for %%D in (!rumpfAlt!*.*) do (
set progAlt=%%D
>x.bat echo #echo off
>>x.bat echo set ausg=!progAlt!
>>x.bat echo echo %%ausg:~!strlength!%%
for /f "" %%E in ('x.bat') do (
set "dateiNeu=!progNeu!%%E"
if exist !dateiNeu! del !dateiNeu!
rename %%D !dateiNeu!
)
del x.bat
)
)
If I have not missed something, this could be the equivalent to your code
#echo off
setlocal enableextensions disabledelayedexpansion
set "pfad=%CD%"
for /d %%A in ("%pfad%") do (
for /f "delims=" %%B in ('
dir /b *.s19 ^| findstr /v "appl"
') do for %%D in ("%%~nB*.*") do (
set "progAlt=%%D"
setlocal enabledelayedexpansion
for %%E in ("!progAlt:%%~nB=!") do (
endlocal
echo move /y "%%D" "%%~nxA%%~E"
)
)
)
I have removed almost all the inner variables that are simply using the values that the for replaceable parameters already hold, and used the adecuated modifiers to retrieve the needed part from the file names.

Batch-file for-loop and use of delims

I have created a batch file in a windows server to parse the name of the files stored in a folder.
The name of the file contains a set of parameters splitted by the hyphen, e.g.
ACC-INV-APR-2015
I need to check the syntax correctness of the first two parameters (department and document type) e.g. I would avoid that the hyphen is inserted more than a time in the file name.
On the basis of the check, the files with wrong syntax will be moved to a folder.
We have to consider that, apart the first two parameters that are mandatory, the other ones could be skipped and therefore the file name could have some repetitive hypens after the first two parameters, e.g.
FIN-DOC-APR-2015--MFH-P01
We would avoid to have some file name like: FIN--DOC-APR-2015-MFH-P01
I have created the following batch file but I don't know how to skip the filename with wrong syntax....
Thank you.

Sounds like a job for regular expressions. The Windows utility findstr will let you match based on a regular expression. It exits status 0 if found, non-zero otherwise. This lends itself to conditional execution. In a cmd console, enter findstr /? for details on supported regexp syntax.
It'll also speed things up to cache the contents of departments.txt and typedocs.txt into variables, rather than open, read, close, repeat for each file checked.
So, with that in mind, here's how I'd do it:
#echo off
setlocal
set "source=\\fileserver\share$\archive"
set "dest_ok=\\fileserver\share$\fileok"
set "dest_not=\\fileserver\share$\error"
set "departments.txt=c:\0_scripts\arch\departments.txt"
set "typedocs.txt=c:\0_scripts\arch\typedocs.txt"
setlocal enabledelayedexpansion
for /f "usebackq delims=" %%I in ("%departments.txt%") do set "dept=%%~I;!dept!"
for /f "usebackq delims=" %%I in ("%typedocs.txt%") do set "type=%%~I;!type!"
endlocal & set "dept=%dept%" & set "type=%type%"
for /r "%source%" %%I in (*) do (
rem // Does filename match /^[a-z]+-[a-z]+/i ?
echo %%~nxI | findstr /i "^[a-z][a-z]*-[a-z][a-z]*" >NUL && (
rem // Yep. Check whether department and doc type is in allowed list.
for /f "tokens=1-2 delims=- " %%a in ("%%~nxI") do (
// if %dept% doesn't equal itself with %%~a removed, and so on...
setlocal enabledelayedexpansion
if not "%dept%"=="!dept:%%~a=!" if not "%type%"=="!type:%%~b=!" (
// All checks passed. Moved to OK folder.
move /y "%%~fI" "%dest_ok%"
)
endlocal
)
)
// If the file hasn't been moved by now, it must've failed a test.
if exist "%%~fI" move /y "%%~fI" "%dest_not%"
)

Iterate Directories with Batch

The objective is to display the directory name in MYFOLDER.
MY.exe exists in the folder, but curiously, without the wildcard in ...\desktemp*, the "#echo Showing subfolders" is never displayed, but "#echo G is working" is. However MY.exe is never found when moved to one of the subfolders.
OTOH the current code never finds MY.exe and never displays "#echo G is working" but properly lists each subfolder: "#echo Showing subfolders".
The other problem is the pauses at the end of the block are never reached.
Substituting the inner For with
cd \Users\%USERNAME%\Desktop
for /D /r %%G in ("desktemp*") do (
gets essentially the same result. My.exe isn't found if moved to one of the subfolders of desktemp.
Setlocal EnableDelayedExpansion
set CURRDRIVE=C
SET MYFOLDER=
:SEARCHDRIVES
REM BLOCK
for %%B in (C) do (
if exist %%B: (
PUSHD %%B:\
if NOT DEFINED MYFOLDER (
ECHO "%CD%"
REM This always displays path batch is run from.
REM The above Pushd doesn't change to C:\
for /f "tokens=*" %%G in ('dir /b /s /a:d "%%B:\Users\%USERNAME%\Desktop\desktemp*" ^| find "\"') do (
#echo Showing subfolders
#echo %%G
pause
if exist "%%G\MY.exe" (
call set MYFOLDER=%%G
#echo %%G

GOTO GOTMYFOLDER
)
)
)
)
REM Exist Drive
)
REM Drives Loop
:GOTMYFOLDER
cd /d %CURRDRIVE%:\
echo %MYFOLDER%
cd %MYFOLDER%

The above is a chunk whittled from a larger code block: the ultimate aim will be to get the folder names"\Users\New\Desktop\desktemp" into a variable via prompt.
Are the Escape Characters, Delimiters and Quotes in the nested blocks implemented properly?
The answer escaped this poor little brain until it cottoned on to what the "DIR" and "For /D /R" were really up to. What was sought for was in the addition of a new "For /D" (no /R).
This first (extra) "For /D" determines the folder names to iterate from.
(Specifically anything but the Windows directory where we run into problems with >260 filenames.)
This locates the MY.exe file somewhere in the Users folder (more precisely in any root folder beginning with U):

Need a batch file that can find folders based on filenames

I have a need for a batch file or utility that would be able to find any "un-compressed archive folders" that are no longer needed and can now be deleted because the original archive file is still present.
The key is that the "un-compressed folder" and the "original archive file" always have the same name except for the file extension of the archive file. I do not want to automatically delete anything; I just want to create a list of folders that I can manually check out. So the sequence would be a 4 step process:
1) Search for all archive files using wildcards such as *.zip, *.rar, *.iso
2) Create a list of all of the filenames that are found - minus the file extensions
3) Use the list created in step two to search for any folders with those names
4) Create a text file with any folders found in step three.
I tried modifying a batch file that I found in these posts but it didn't work and I would like to start from scratch. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Ok, I'll do this step by step:
Step 1:
set dir="C:\...[path to root directory]"
where /r %dir% *.zip *.iso *.rar >> log.txt
Note the where utility should be on your computer if using windows 7.
Step 2:
ren log.txt log.tmp
for /f "delims=." %%a in (log.tmp) do (Echo %%a >> log.txt)
del log.tmp
The above code will not handle files names with periods in it
Step 3:
for /f "tokens=*" %%a in (log.txt) do (
where /r %dir% %%a* >> files.txt
)
Not 100% sure if above will work, tell me if it doesn't.
Step 4:
Rem This code will handle file paths to directories
Ren files.txt files.tmp
for /f "tokens=*" %%a in (files.tmp) do (
Echo %%~pa >> files.txt
)
del files.tmp
Rem The below code will ged rid of repeated direcotries
ren files.txt files.tmp
Echo. > files.txt
setlocal enabledelayedexpansion
for /f "tokens=*" %%a in (files.tmp) do (
set var=1
for /f "tokens=*" %%b in (files.txt) do (
if "%%~a" equ "%%~b" set var=0
)
if !var!==1 Echo %%a >> files.txt
)
del files.tmp
And I'm rather confident that should work. Of course I haven't tested this, but run all of this with #Echo on and a pause command between each sect (or as seperate batch files) so that if an eror does occur I can try helping you.
Hope this was helpful, Mona.
