I have an issue with reading lines from a *.txt file in batch script to get a list of files.
If my file contain something like
File does not exist: release\devpath\readme.txt
File does not exist: release\mainline\readme!!!.txt
2 errors.
and my batch is
#ECHO OFF
SETLOCAL ENABLEDELAYEDEXPANSION
set count_to_sync=-1
for /f "tokens=*" %%i in (bubu.txt) do (
set line=%%i
echo %%i
if "!line:~0,9!" == "MD5 FAIL:" (
set /A count_to_sync+=1
set list[!count_to_sync!]=!line:~10!
)
if "!line:~0,20!" == "File does not exist:" (
set list[!count_to_sync!]=!line:~21!
set /A count_to_sync+=1
)
)
IF "%count_to_sync%" == "-1" (
ECHO Nothing to sync
) ELSE (
ECHO Files to sync
for /F "tokens=2 delims==" %%s in ('set list[') do (
echo %%s
)
)
The output is
File does not exist: release\devpath\readme.txt
File does not exist: release\mainline\readme.txt
2 errors.
Files to sync
release\devpath\readme.txt
release\mainline\readme.txt
and the '!!!' from second line is missing.
I know that if I remove SETLOCAL ENABLEDELAYEDEXPANSION from batch the output will be
File does not exist: release\devpath\readme.txt
File does not exist: release\mainline\readme!!!.txt
2 errors.
First part is OK, but the extraction will not work because delayed expansion is disabled.
How I can get the correct output?
Thank you
UPDATE
The input file with all types of lines
File does not exist: release\devpath\readme.txt
File does not exist: release\mainline\readme!!!.txt
MD5 FAIL: exf.exe
2 errors.
UPDATE
I need this script to sync changed files based on the output of 'exf.exe' used to check the integrity of folder based on md5 checksum
When the specifications of a problem are not described, but based on examples, we can make assumptions that may or may not be correct. My assumption is that you want the last token of the lines in your text file, so this is a possible (and much simpler) solution:
EDIT: I changed my original method for a simpler one.
#echo off
setlocal
set "msg=Nothing to sync"
(for /F "tokens=3,5" %%a in (bubu.txt) do (
set "msg=Files to sync"
if "%%b" neq "" (echo %%b) else echo %%a
)) > list.txt
echo %msg%
type list.txt
#ECHO OFF
SETLOCAL
SET "sourcedir=U:\sourcedir"
SET "filename1=%sourcedir%\q35477317.txt"
ECHO Files to sync
FOR /f "usebackqtokens=4*delims=: " %%a IN ("%filename1%") DO ECHO(%%b
GOTO :EOF
You would need to change the setting of sourcedir to suit your circumstances.
I used a file named q35477317.txt containing your data for my testing.
It's not clear why you've taken your approach - is there something you haven't told us?
#ECHO OFF
SETLOCAL
SET "sourcedir=U:\sourcedir"
SET "filename1=%sourcedir%\q35477317.txt"
ECHO Files to sync
FOR /f "usebackqtokens=1*delims=:" %%a IN ("%filename1%") DO (
FOR /f "tokens=*" %%c IN ("%%b") DO ECHO(%%c
)
GOTO :EOF
Easily fixed once we get the full story...
Maybe you need something like that:
#ECHO OFF
rem SETLOCAL ENABLEDELAYEDEXPANSION
set count_to_sync=-1
for /f "tokens=*" %%i in (bubu.txt) do (
set line=%%i
echo %%i
SETLOCAL ENABLEDELAYEDEXPANSION
if "!line:~0,9!" == "MD5 FAIL:" (
set /A count_to_sync+=1
set list[!count_to_sync!]=!line:~10!
)
if "!line:~0,20!" == "File does not exist:" (
set list[!count_to_sync!]=!line:~21!
set /A count_to_sync+=1
)
ENDLOCAL
)
IF "%count_to_sync%" == "-1" (
ECHO Nothing to sync
) ELSE (
ECHO Files to sync
for /F "tokens=2 delims==" %%s in ('set list[') do (
echo %%s
)
)

I need to search multiple files within a folder in batch script and echo the not exist file and assign a variable for further logging, but unable to achieve that whenever my pattern contain (*) mark. Anyway i can achieve this?
SET pattern="abc*.txt" "ijk_*.txt" "xyz_*.txt"
SET count=0
FOR %%A IN (%pattern%) DO (IF EXIST "%%A" (SET /a count+=1) ELSE (
ECHO %date% %time%: %%A file missing.
SET fileList=!fileList! %%A
))
You can use a trick and split pattern into a multi-line variable and than iterate over each line. I'm using the question mark ? as a delimeter because it is a reserved character and can't be used within file names.
#echo off
SETLOCAL EnableDelayedExpansion
set patternlist="abc*.txt"?"ijk _*.txt"?"xyz_*.txt"
set pattern=!patternlist:?=^
!
SET count=0
FOR /F "delims=" %%A IN (!pattern!) DO (
if exist %%A (
SET /a count+=1
) ELSE (
ECHO %date% %time%: %%A file missing.
SET fileList=!fileList! %%A
)
)
I'm trying to write a code that does the following. I have some files in a directory with specific extensions. I have made a vector that contains all of them. Now I will want to rename each file to something else depending on their extension. So for that I'm trying to parce the created vector with a for loop in which I check for each element extension.
For now I won't rename it just echo it on the screen if the file with the .elf extension is found. I wrote this code but I get no echo as in there would be no .elf file in my directory. Please help me correct this. Thanks.
#echo off
setlocal enabledelayedexpansion
cd C:\Users\uidr0938\Desktop\Copy
set path=C:\Users\uidr0938\Desktop\Copy
set /a index=0
for /r %%i in (*) do (
set value[!index!]=%%i
set /a index+=1
)
set /a limit=%index%-2
for /l %%a in (0;1;%limit%) do (
if !value[%%a]! equ *.elf (
echo !value[%%a]!
)
)
endlocal
try with :
....
for /l %%a in (0;1;%limit%) do (
if "!value[%%a]:~-4!" equ ".elf" (
echo !value[%%a]!
)
)
when comparing string you cannot use wildcards.Here you can see some examples about batch substrings
Here is a slightly different way of doing it.
#IF NOT EXIST "%USERPROFILE%\Desktop\Copy\" #EXIT/B
#ECHO OFF
SETLOCAL ENABLEDELAYEDEXPANSION
SET "_path=%USERPROFILE%\Desktop\Copy"
SET "_index=0"
FOR /F "DELIMS=" %%A IN ('WHERE/R "%_path%" * 2^>NUL') DO (SET/A "_index+=1"
SET "_value[!_index!]=%%A")
IF %_index% EQU 0 EXIT/B
FOR /F "TOKENS=1* DELIMS==" %%A IN ('SET _value['
) DO IF /I "%%~xB"==".elf" ECHO %%B

How can we split string using windows bat script?
for below .bat code snippet
#echo off & setlocal EnableDelayedExpansion
set j=0
for /f "delims=""" %%i in (config.ini) do (
set /a j+=1
set con!j!=%%i
call set a=%%con!j!%%
echo !a!
(echo !a!|findstr "^#">nul 2>nul && (
rem mkdir !a!
) || (
echo +)
rem for /f "tokens=2" %%k in(config.ini) do echo %%k
)
)

You would need to change the setting of sourcedir to suit your circumstances.
I used a file named q43407067.txt containing your data for my testing.
(These are setting that suit my system)
SO - to address your problems:
because the ) on that line closes the ( on the previous. The ) on that line closes the ( on the one prior. (I changed the rem to an echo so that the code would produce something visible) The first ( on the (echo !a! line is closed by the ) on the line following the (now) two for /f commands. and the ( on the for..%%i..do( is closed by the final ) before the echo -----
You can't delete that ) because it's participating in a parenthesis-pair.
You need a space between the in and the (.
I've shown a way. See for /?|more from the prompt for documentation (or many articles here on SO)
In your code, !a! is the same as %%i - so I've no idea why you are conducting all the gymnastics - doubtless to present a minimal example showing the problem.
Note that since the default delimiters include Space then if any line contains a space in the /path/to/case or value then you'll have to re-engineer the approach.
I' not sure if I understand what exactly it is you need, so what follows may not suit your needs:
#Echo Off
SetLocal EnableDelayedExpansion
Set "n=0"
For /F "Delims=" %%A In (testConfig.ini) Do (Set "_=%%A"
If "!_:~,1!"=="#" (Set/A "n+=1", "i=0"
Echo=MD %%A
Set "con[!n!]!i!=%%A") Else (For /F "Tokens=1-2" %%B In ('Echo=%%A'
) Do (Set/A "i+=1"
Set "con[!n!]!i!=%%B"&&Set/A "i+=1"&&Set "con[!n!]!i!=%%C")))
Set con[

remove Echo= on line 6 if you are happy with the output and really want to create those directories
So in Windows Explorer, I have these files sorted like this:
I have this script to remove the brackets and one zero, and in case the trailing number is greater than or equal to 10, to remove two zeroes:
cd C:\folder
setlocal enabledelayedexpansion
SET /A COUNT=0
for %%a in (*.jpg) do (
SET /A COUNT+=1
ECHO !COUNT!
set f=%%a
IF !COUNT! GTR 9 (
set f=!f:^00 (=!
) ELSE (
set f=!f:^0 (=!
)
set f=!f:^)=!
ren "%%a" "!f!"
)
pause
However, once I run the code, I get this result:
So the batch file isn't going through the files "intuitively" like Windows Explorer shows them. Is there any way to change this? Or is there a better way to rename these files altogether?
This uses a different approach:
#echo off
cd C:\folder
setlocal enabledelayedexpansion
SET /A COUNT=0, REMOVE=2
for /F "delims=(" %%a in ('dir /B *.jpg') do (
SET /A COUNT+=1
ECHO !COUNT!
set "f=%%a"
IF !COUNT! EQU 10 SET "REMOVE=3"
for /F %%r in ("!REMOVE!") do set "f=!f:~0,-%%r!"
ren "%%a" "!f!!COUNT!.jpg"
)
pause
Here is a method that does not depend on the sort order used by the file system, preserving the numbers as occurring in the original file names.
For each file name (for instance, test_this_01 SELR_Opening_00000 (1).jpg), the portion after the last under-score _ is retrieved (00000 (1)). Then the parentheses and the space are removed and then the length is trimmed to five characters (00001). This string replaces the original one in the file name finally (test_this_01 SELR_Opening_00001.jpg); the file name must not contain the replaced portion (00000 (1)) multiple times (hence file names like this should not occur: test_this_00000 (1) SELR_Opening_00000 (1).jpg):
#echo off
setlocal DisableDelayedExpansion
rem // Define constants here:
set "LOCATION=."
set "PATTERN=*_* (*).jpg"
set /A "DIGITS=5"
pushd "%LOCATION%" || exit /B 1
for /F "usebackq eol=| delims=" %%F in (`
dir /B /A:-D /O:D /T:C "%PATTERN%"
`) do (
set "FILE=%%F"
setlocal EnableDelayedExpansion
set "LAST="
for %%I in ("!FILE:_=","!") do (
set "LAST=%%~nI" & set "FEXT=%%~xI"
set "FNEW=!FILE:%%~I=!"
)
set "LAST=!LAST:(=!" & set "LAST=!LAST:)=!"
set "LAST=!LAST: =!" & set "LAST=!LAST:~-5!"
ECHO ren "!FILE!" "!FNEW!!LAST!!FEXT!"
endlocal
)
popd
endlocal
exit /B
Adapt the directory location and the file search pattern in the top section of the script as you like.
After having tested, remove the upper-case ECHO command in order to actually rename files.
#echo off
set files=InstallSlinger27.bat:Stash.txt
for /F "delims=:" %%i IN ("%files%") DO (
ECHO %%i
if exist %%i (
echo EXIST
) else (
echo DO NOT EXIST
)
)
I expect the batch file to check if the file InstallSlinger27.bat exists and then check if the file Stash.txt exists.
However, the output is
InstallSlinger27.bat
EXIST
It does not do the verification for the second file.
I tried some things, and I did loops in the past that where working. I don't want to do checks for %%i then %%j, because the files list could grow.
#ECHO OFF
SETLOCAL
set files=InstallSlinger27.bat:Stash.txt
FOR %%a IN ("%files::=","%") DO (
IF EXIST %%a (ECHO %%a exists) else (ECHO %%a missing)
)
GOTO :EOF
Although I'd suggest you re-think your choice of separator since : can occur within a full filename.
