Batch file for detecting USB Name - batch-file

I need a batch script which detects a specific USB name and if that's found I want it to make a certain command like xcopy

Try this below code, providing that it runs with administrative privileges on Windows 7
#echo off
for /F "tokens=1*" %%a in ('fsutil fsinfo drives') do (
for %%c in (%%b) do (
for /F "tokens=3" %%d in ('fsutil fsinfo drivetype %%c') do (
if %%d equ Removable (
echo Drive %%c is Removable (USB^)
)
)
)
)

How to get fixed disk drive letters in three seperate text files using batch?

I am running the following batch program,

it stores fixed disk letter to hdd.txt output on hdd.txt, D:
but, i have three fixed disks,
local disk C:

How to get three Fixed disks letter in three different text files ?
for example,
C: in hdd1.txt
D: in hdd2.txt
E: in hdd3.txt
You could use this which doesn't require administrative privileges:
#Echo Off
SetLocal EnableDelayedExpansion
Set "i=0"
For /F "Skip=1Delims=" %%A In (
'WMIC LogicalDisk Where "DriveType='3'" Get DeviceID'
) Do For %%B In (%%A) Do (Set/A i+=1
Echo %%B>"hdd!i!.txt")

changing directory folder to all sub folders

Hello i have a batch script but i cant work out how to change the path to scan all subfolders within the directory.
In other words i dont want -
C:\Users\ally\Desktop\Documents\Table\CSV versions\2014\
but rather:
C:\Users\ally\Desktop\Documents\Table\CSV versions
as there are lots of different years of data in seperate folders.
Also to note within year folder there are month folders and within that there are the csv files.
#echo off
setlocal enabledelayedexpansion
set "target=C:\Users\ally\Desktop\Documents\All"
cd /d "C:\Users\ally\Desktop\Documents\Table\CSV versions\2014\"
for /L %%a in (101,1,148) do (
set num=%%a
del "%target%\-!num:~-2!.csv" 2>nul
>"%target%\-!num:~-2!.csv.txt" echo Type,angle,edge,Date,Frame,Sum,Mafe,Comp,Rim,Dose,Ell,Role
)
for %%a in (*.csv) do (
for /f "skip=1 usebackq delims=" %%b in ("%%a") do (
for /f "tokens=1,2 delims=-," %%c in ("%%b") do (
set "line=%%c"
if /i "!line:~0,2!"=="HH" >> "%target%\-%%d.csv.txt" echo %%b
)
)
)
ren "%target%\*.csv.txt" *.
pause
To process every folder under the All tree then you can use a for /d /r loop and pushd/popd to set the current folder.
This assumes that every folder has the files you want to process.
Test this on a copy of your data and change the folder to point to it.
You seem to be deleting .csv files, creating .csv.txt files and then trying to process *.csv in the lower loop. Should that be *.csv.txt ?
#echo off
setlocal enabledelayedexpansion
for /d /r "c:\Users\ally\Desktop\Documents\All" %%z in (*) do (
pushd "%%z"
for /L %%a in (101,1,148) do (
set num=%%a
del "-!num:~-2!.csv" 2>nul
>"-!num:~-2!.csv.txt" echo Type,angle,edge,Date,Frame,Sum,Mafe,Comp,Rim,Dose,Ell,Role
)
for %%a in (*.csv) do (
for /f "skip=1 usebackq delims=" %%b in ("%%a") do (
for /f "tokens=1,2 delims=-," %%c in ("%%b") do (
set "line=%%c"
if /i "!line:~0,2!"=="HH" >> "-%%d.csv.txt" echo %%b
)
)
)
ren "*.csv.txt" *.
popd
)
pause
Try adding another loop that will walk down the directory tree and if it finds a csv file, it will process it:
#echo off
setlocal enabledelayedexpansion
set "target=C:\Users\ally\Desktop\Documents\All"
for /f "tokens=1* delims=" %%D in ('dir /s /b /o:-n /a:d "C:\Users\ally\Desktop\Documents\Table\CSV versions"') do (
cd /d "%%~fD"
if exist *.csv (
for /L %%a in (101,1,148) do (
set num=%%a
del "%target%\-!num:~-2!.csv" 2>nul
>"%target%\-!num:~-2!.csv.txt" echo Type,angle,edge,Date,Frame,Sum,Mafe,Comp,Rim,Dose,Ell,Role
)
for %%a in (*.csv) do (
for /f "skip=1 usebackq delims=" %%b in ("%%a") do (
for /f "tokens=1,2 delims=-," %%c in ("%%b") do (
set "line=%%c"
if /i "!line:~0,2!"=="HH" >> "%target%\-%%d.csv.txt" echo %%b
)
)
)
ren "%target%\*.csv.txt" *.
)
)
pause
Explanation of the dir switches:
/s - Displays files in specified directory and all subdirectories.
/b - Uses bare format (no heading information or summary).
/o:in - Lists the files in reverse order
/a:d - Displays only folders
Explanation of the %%~fD: expands %A to a fully qualified path name (from for /?)

Finding which drives are connected to computer

I have a small side project I've been working on and i want to add an option to scan the computer and find which drives are connected and what they are(USB, Hard drive, Disc drive, SSD, etc.)
this is what i have so far.
echo off
:start
color 0a
cls
title Search
echo To search enter the drive and term you wish to search below.
echo ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
set inputdrive=
set /p inputdrive=Drive:
set input=
set /p input=Search:
dir %inputdrive%:\%input% /s /b
pause
echo search again?
set inputsearch=
set /p inputsearch=(Y/N)
if %inputsearch%==Y goto start
if %inputsearch%==N exit
I plan on adding an option to scan for connected drives at the beginning of the script.
You can use WMIC to get the info without the need for administrator rights.
Here is code that gives a nice listing of all available drives, including removable media drives that do not have any media installed:
#echo off
setlocal
set ^"driveTypes=^
0Unknown :^
1No Root Directory:^
2Removable Media :^
3Local Disk :^
4Network Drive :^
5CD/DVD :^
6RAM Disk :^"
echo Available Drives:
echo(
echo ID Drive Type Volume Name
echo -- ----------------- -----------
for /f "skip=1 tokens=1-3" %%A in (
'"wmic logicalDisk get DeviceID, DriveType, VolumeName"'
) do if "%%B" neq "" (
setlocal enableDelayedExpansion
for /f "delims=:" %%D in ("!driveTypes:*%%B=!") do (
endlocal
echo %%A %%D %%C
)
)
Just a bit more code will restrict the list to only drives that are available with media:
#echo off
setlocal
set ^"driveTypes=^
0Unknown :^
1No Root Directory:^
2Removable Media :^
3Local Disk :^
4Network Drive :^
5CD/DVD :^
6RAM Disk :^"
echo Available Drives:
echo(
echo ID Drive Type Volume Name
echo -- ----------------- -----------
for /f "skip=1 tokens=1-3" %%A in (
'"wmic logicalDisk get DeviceID, DriveType, VolumeName"'
) do if "%%B" neq "" dir %%A >nul 2>nul && (
setlocal enableDelayedExpansion
for /f "delims=:" %%D in ("!driveTypes:*%%B=!") do (
endlocal
echo %%A %%D %%C
)
)
fsutil fsinfo drives
fsutil fsinfo drivetype c:
But you need to have administrator rights to use it

Detect USB and copy *.* to USB drive using batch script

I am trying to write a batch script to detect a USB drive and, if it is plugged in,
for example copy c:\test\big.txt to the USB drive, and looping to detect another flash drive.
#echo off
for %%d in (D: E: F: G: H: I: etc...) do (
if exist %%d\nul (
echo USB at drive %%d connected
)
)
EDIT: Below is the right way to do that:
#echo off
for /F "tokens=1*" %%a in ('fsutil fsinfo drives') do (
for %%c in (%%b) do (
for /F "tokens=3" %%d in ('fsutil fsinfo drivetype %%c') do (
if %%d equ Removable (
echo Drive %%c is Removable (USB^)
)
)
)
)
I know this is old but....
#echo off
for /F "usebackq tokens=1,2,3,4 " %%i in (`wmic logicaldisk get caption^,description^,drivetype 2^>NUL`) do (
if %%l equ 2 (
copy c:\test\big.txt %%i
)
)
This is assuming of course both drives are inserted.
The above code had a flaw which has been attended to in the following code
The code works in XP and gives you the USB drive letters, if no usb device
is connected , it tells you so !

#Aacini I don't have a good setup to this case today, so I instead tried finding my USB webcam. I used devmgmt.msc and devcon listclasses to figure out the membership a connected USB camera would have. After a few tests, I arrived at devcon find =Image USB\*. I figured it would be simple enough to do the same for a USB mass storage device, so I tried devcon find =Volume (per listclasses). Unfortunately, this dumps out a GUID which you would then have to map to a drive letter. A cursory glance at this overflow suggests you can do so from the registry using reg query, but it seems at this point that fsutil would be simplest for your case.
