how to loop through folders specified by text document on batch script - batch-file

Question

I have a list of folder paths that I want to loop through and get the files and creation date and then send a email notification that these files have been uploaded to the ftp. I have got everything working but I am having trouble looping through the folders to get the files. I think it loops through the text file but by the time i get to my second loop I think it is only looping through the last path that was in the text doc as the variable was getting overwritten. I tried enclosing the second for statement with parentheses for the first for statement but did not work. Here is my code:
scanFTPCLients.bat
#echo off
setlocal EnableDelayedExpansion
cls
#pushd %~dp0
set i=0
for /F "tokens=*" %%i in (Pathlist.txt) do (
set fp=%%i
set LIST=
for /r "%fp%" %%a in (*.*) do set i=i+1
set LIST=!LIST! ---%deptClient%--- %%~na ----UPLOAD TIME---- %%~ta
)
set LIST=%LIST:~1%
IF %i% NEQ 0 (wscript "%~dp0FTPFilesUploadedNotification.vbs")
popd
Pathlist.txt

\\vavm\CIS\Incoming
\\vavm\Forcht\Incoming

FTPFilesNotification.vbs
dim outputArray
dim inputText
dim message
inputText = CreateObject("WScript.Shell").ExpandEnvironmentStrings("%LIST%")
outputArray = split(inputText, " ")
for each x in outputArray
message = message & x & vbCRLF
next
Set MyEmail=CreateObject("CDO.Message")
MyEmail.Subject="Clients Imported to System"
MyEmail.From="SYSTEMFUNCTION#mrsllc.org"
MyEmail.To="rickg#gmail.com"
MyEmail.TextBody= "The Following Clients have been imported to the system: " & vbCRLF & message
MyEmail.Configuration.Fields.Item ("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendusing")=2
MyEmail.Configuration.Fields.Item ("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpserver")="mail.org"
MyEmail.Configuration.Fields.Item ("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpserverport")=25
MyEmail.Configuration.Fields.Item ("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpauthenticate")=1
MyEmail.Configuration.Fields.Item ("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendusername")="username"
MyEmail.Configuration.Fields.Item ("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendpassword")="password"
MyEmail.Configuration.Fields.Update
MyEmail.Send
set MyEmail=nothing

Answer 1

For comparison, in PowerShell, it could be:
$emailSettings = #{
From = "you#example.org"
To = "you#example.org"
Subject = "Upload report"
SmtpServer = "yourmailserver"
}
$report = dir -Path #(gc pathlist.txt) | select FullName, CreationTime
Send-MailMessage #emailSettings -Body "$($report|ConvertTo-Html)" -BodyAsHtml

This shows how to loop through files in vbscript
'On Error Resume Next
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Dirname = InputBox("Enter Dir name")
'Searchterm = Inputbox("Enter search term")
ProcessFolder DirName
Sub ProcessFolder(FolderPath)
On Error Resume Next
Set fldr = fso.GetFolder(FolderPath)
Set Fls = fldr.files
For Each thing in Fls
' Set contents = thing.OpenAsTextStream
' If err.number = 0 then
' If Instr(contents.readall, searchterm) > 1 then msgbox thing.path
' Else
' err.clear
' End If
msgbox Thing.Name & " " & Thing.DateLastModified
Next
Set fldrs = fldr.subfolders
For Each thing in fldrs
ProcessFolder thing.path
Next
End Sub
To send mail
Set emailObj = CreateObject("CDO.Message")
emailObj.From = "dc#gail.com"
emailObj.To = "dc#gail.com"
emailObj.Subject = "Test CDO"
emailObj.TextBody = "Test CDO"
Set emailConfig = emailObj.Configuration
msgbox emailConfig.Fields("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpserver")
emailConfig.Fields("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpserver") = "smtp.gmail.com"
emailConfig.Fields("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpserverport") = 465
emailConfig.Fields("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendusing") = 2
emailConfig.Fields("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpauthenticate") = 1
emailConfig.Fields("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpusessl") = true
emailConfig.Fields("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendusername") = "YourUserName"
emailConfig.Fields("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendpassword") = "Password1"
emailConfig.Fields.Update
emailObj.Send
If err.number = 0 then Msgbox "Done"
To read a file line by line
On Error Resume Next
Set Fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set File = Fso.CreateTextFile("C:\myfile.txt", True)
If err.number <> 0 then
Wscript.Echo "Error: " & err.number & " " & err.description & " from " & err.source
err.clear
wscript.exit
End If
Do Until File.AtEndOfStream
Msgbox File.readline
Loop

Changed. Not sure what you want to do about sending lines (one at a time or send all when done). If one at a time, integrate into this. If all at once at end, then send output to a temp file and send it.
#echo off
pushd %~dp0
set /A Cnt=0
for /F "tokens=*" %%i in (Pathlist.txt) do (
echo i= %%i
for /f "usebackq tokens=*" %%a in (`Dir /s /b %%i\*.*`) do (
echo %%~na - %%~ta
set /A Cnt+=1
)
)
echo(Cnt=%Cnt%
pause
popd
