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%"

Not able to substring the dynamic variable inside forloop in Windows batch script.
I have the properties file in my git hub in the below format.
"collectionName=TestCollectionRun.json=test"
So I have written the below code to fetch this values.But the requirement is that I need to strip of the '.json' part from collection name.With the below code I am not able to set/echo that value.Can you please help on this!
#ECHO ON
:BEGIN
IF EXIST "test.properties" ECHO Found properties file, reading file..
SET props=test.properties
setlocal EnableDelayedExpansion
For /F "delims== tokens=1,2,3" %%G in (%props%) Do (
if "%%I" EQU "test" if "%%G" EQU "collectionName" SET collName=%%H(
SET finalCollName=%collName%:~0,-5
ECHO %finalCollName%
)
)
:END
We need the ECHO to return "TestCollectionRun".currently its not returning anything.
For /F "delims== tokens=1,2,3" %%G in (%props%) Do (
if "%%I" EQU "test" if "%%G" EQU "collectionName" SET "collName=%%~nH"&echo %%~nH
)
ECHO %CollName%
Note the second ) is now redundant. Your problem has to do with delayedexpansion which you are invoking but not using. call %%collname%% within the for loop would have shown the value after assignment if required.
This code works by interpreting %%H as a filename and assigning simply the name part of %%H (%%~nH)
Given a line content of collectionName=TestCollectionRun.json=test, here's a quick rewrite of what I think you're tring to do:
#Echo Off
Set "props=test.properties"
If Not Exist "%props%" (
Echo Properties file not found!
Echo Exiting..
Timeout /T 3 /NoBreak >NUL
Exit /B
)
Echo Found properties file, reading file..
For /F "UseBackQ Tokens=1-3 Delims==" %%A In ("%props%") Do (
If /I "%%C" == "test" If /I "%%A" == "collectionName" Echo %%~nB
)
Pause
If you wanted to do something with the collection name within the loop then you would probably need to use delayed expansion:
#Echo Off
SetLocal DisableDelayedExpansion
Set "props=test.properties"
If Not Exist "%props%" (
Echo Properties file not found!
Echo Exiting..
Timeout /T 3 /NoBreak >NUL
Exit /B
)
Echo Found properties file, reading file..
For /F "UseBackQ Tokens=1-3 Delims==" %%A In ("%props%") Do (
If /I "%%C" == "test" If /I "%%A" == "collectionName" (
Set "collName=%%B"
SetLocalEnableDelayedExpansion
Echo !collName!
Rem Perform substring task on the variable named collName
Set "finalCollName=!collName%:~0,-5!"
Echo !finalCollName!
EndLocal
)
)
Pause
Note, these answers will not work, as is, if your string is surrounded by doublequotes, (as in your question body), or if the line content differs (e.g. begins with spaces or tabs).
[Edit /]
Looking at your 'after the fact' question in the comments, it is clear that you do not need to substring the variable at all, so should use the first method posted:
Echo Found properties file, reading file..
For /F "UseBackQ Tokens=1-3 Delims==" %%A In ("%props%") Do (
If /I "%%C" == "test" If /I "%%A" == "collectionName" (
newman run "%%B" -e "%envName%" --insecure --reporters cli,htmlextra --reporter-htmlextra-export "newman\%BUILD_NUMBER%\%%~nB.html" --disable-unicode
)
)
Pause
This assumes that both %envName% and %BUILD_NUMBER% have been previously defined correctly.
Trying to create a script that will take the third token of a file name, create a folder based on it and move the associated file to that folder.
Have got this so far:
#ECHO OFF
SETLOCAL
SET "sourcedir=D:\Sourcedir"
PUSHD %sourcedir%
FOR /f "tokens=1,2,3,4 delims=" %%a IN (
'dir /b /a-d "*.pdf"'
) DO (
ECHO MD %%c
ECHO MOVE "%%a %%b %%c %%d" .\%%c\
)
POPD
GOTO :EOF
Only problem is the folder being created is including the file extension where as I just need the folder to be named the third token.
Example file name:
"File Number 10.pdf
Expected folder name:
10
Thanks
Why did you use delims=? This will remove delimiter, and take whole line to %%a.
Try this:
#ECHO OFF
SETLOCAL
SET "sourcedir=D:\Sourcedir"
PUSHD %sourcedir%
FOR /f "tokens=1,2,3" %%a IN (
'dir /b /a-d "*.pdf"'
) DO (
ECHO MD %%~nc
ECHO MOVE "%%a %%b %%c" .\%%~nc\
)
POPD
GOTO :EOF
When no delims= set, it will use space. So %%c will be 10.pdf, ~n is to extract its name part.
This is based on your question, which you can concatenate %%a %%b %%c together with spaces, then it's simple.
If your filenames are more complicated, then an inner for loop is better.
-- Which another question already gave a great solution.
Here's an alternative, which will just use the last space delimited string/number, regardless of how many there are, (if there are none it will use the whole filename)!
#Echo Off
For %%A In ("D:\Sourcedir\*.pdf") Do Call :L "%%A"
Exit /B
:L
Set "F=%~n1"
Set "F=%F: ="&Set "F=%"
If Not Exist "%~dp1%F%\" MD "%~dp1%F%"
Move /Y %1 "%~dp1%F%"
And if you wanted to move only those which have at least one space, you can include that inside the For parentheses.
#Echo Off
For %%A In ("D:\Sourcedir\* *.pdf") Do Call :L "%%A"
Exit /B
:L
Set "F=%~n1"
Set "F=%F: ="&Set "F=%"
If Not Exist "%~dp1%F%\" MD "%~dp1%F%"
Move /Y %1 "%~dp1%F%"
You can run 2 for loops get the full name in the first, then split the name in the second loop, get the 3rd token, create the directory and then copy the actual file name from the first loop.
This way you do not need to try and patch the name together again, I know it works, but it is ugly and not prefered:
#echo off
setlocal enabledelayedexpansion
set "sourcedir=D:\Sourcedir"
pushd %sourcedir%
for %%a in (*.pdf) do (
set "var=%%a"
for /f "tokens=3" %%i in ("!var!") do (
echo md "%%~ni"
echo move "%%~a" "%%~ni"
)
)
popd
goto EOF
For more information on these commands, see help for each from cmd.exe i.e
for /?
set /?
setlocal /?
set and setlocal has very specific information regarding delayed expansion.
I encountered the below code online and modified this on my need.
I just wanna ask since i am new to batch file if there is a way to remove duplicate values after the combine.
#echo off
ECHO Set working directory
pushd %~dp0
ECHO Deleting existing combined file
del combined.csv
setlocal ENABLEDELAYEDEXPANSION
set cnt=1
for %%i in (*.csv) do (
if !cnt!==1 (
for /f "delims=" %%j in ('type "%%i"') do echo %%j >> combined.csv
) else if %%i NEQ combined.csv (
for /f "skip=1 delims=" %%j in ('type "%%i"') do echo %%j >> combined.csv
)
set /a cnt+=1
)
#ECHO OFF
SETLOCAL
ECHO Set working directory
pushd %~dp0
ECHO Deleting existing combined file
del combined.csv
set "flag="
for %%i in (*.csv) do if %%i NEQ combined.csv (
IF DEFINED flag (
findstr /l /x /v /g:combined.csv "%%i">#.vsc
TYPE #.vsc >>combined.csv
) ELSE (
COPY "%%i" combined.csv >nul
SET flag=y
)
)
DEL #.vsc /F /Q
POPD
GOTO :EOF
This may suit you better.
It uses a simple setlocal rather than the delayedexpansion version, initialising flag to empty then setting it within the loop and using if defined which works on the run-time value of flag.
First time through, it simply copies the detected source file to combined.csv and then sets flag to a value so it's ow defined
each other time through, findstr outputs those lines in the source file %%i that /v do not /x exactly match /l literally /g:filename any line in the combined.txt file TO a tempfile I'be nominated as #.vsc (name not important). Then that file is appended to combined.csv
Consequently, provided any particular .csv is free of duplicate lines within itself, the combined.csv will also be free of duplicate lines.
Since the header line is evidently identical in every file, the initial copy of the first file will place the header into combined.csv and hence findstr will neatly exclude it thereafter.
Revision to combat evil unicode:
#ECHO OFF
SETLOCAL
ECHO Set working directory
pushd %~dp0
ECHO Deleting existing combined file
del combined.csv
set "flag="
for %%i in (*.csv) do if %%i NEQ combined.csv (
(FOR /f "delims=" %%j IN ('type "%%i"') DO ECHO %%j)>#.vsc
IF DEFINED flag (
findstr /l /x /v /g:combined.csv "#.vsc" >##.vsc
TYPE ##.vsc>>combined.csv
) ELSE (
REN #.vsc combined.csv
SET flag=y
)
)
DEL #.vsc /F /Q
DEL ##.vsc /F /Q
POPD
GOTO :EOF
I suspect that the problem is using UNICODE within your files. Cutting-and-pasting your data showed that it was unicode.
The for /f... ceremony reads unicode and produces ASCII, hence this version first simply converts to ASCII using your familiar technique then operates on the converted file #.vsc. findstr does not appreciate outputting to the same file as it's attempting to read as /g:, so a further tempfile ##.vsc is used for the findstr output.
Note that the unicode characters between (header) Last modified and date and also elsewhere will be replaced by question-marks.
I searched extensively and found what I believe to be a solution to my problem, which is merging CSV files without duplicating headers each time. It looks like it works, except it's only copying the first file in the folder into the destination file. I think it's unable to open the files because they have a space in the name. I've been advised I probably just need to put quotes somewhere, but I'm not sure where they would go. Thanks in advance.

I think the line near the end starting "FOR /f" is mixed up and it should be:
#ECHO OFF
SET first=y
SET newfile=new.csv
for %%F in (*.csv) do IF NOT %%F==%newfile% (
if "%first%"=="y" (
COPY /y "%%F" %newfile% >nul
set "first="
) else (
FOR /f "skip=1delims=" %%i IN ("%%F") DO ECHO %%i >> %newfile%
)
)
#ECHO OFF
SET first=y
SET "newfile=new.txt"
del new.csv 2>nul >nul
for %%F in (*.csv) do (
if defined first (
COPY /y "%%F" %newfile% >nul
set "first="
) else (
FOR /f "usebackqskip=1delims=" %%i IN ("%%F") DO >> %newfile% ECHO %%i
)
)
ren %newfile% new.csv
The set "var=value" syntax ensures that any trailing spaces on the batch line are not included in the value assigned to var.
First step is to delete the new.csv file - the 2>nul >nul redirects messages and error messages from del so that the command is totally silent - whether the file exists or not.
Next, you don't need to check whether the new.csv is selected as %%F because it's just been deleed if it did exist, and the output is now to new.txt (filename not critical - actually, I'd be tempted to call it new.vsc. The critical thing is that it isn't .csv so for doesn't need to check it)
Other than the first file (a copy is faster than reading and echoing), the name of the file (in %%F) being read into %%i, since it needs to be "quoted" (to tell CMD that the spaces are not separators) you need to add the usebackq to the for/f controls.
Finally, rename your file to the desired new name.
This should fix the problem.
I am writing a batch file that finds and executes all update.bat file inside all the directories dropped onto it.
The problem here is that I expect the arguments (i.e directories' path) comes in ordered by name but it turns out they are sorted by the modified date.
Is this the default behavior of Windows (Windows 7)? Any suggestion to solve this?
Here is my batch script:
#echo off
Setlocal EnableDelayedExpansion
if [%1]==[] goto :no_update_dropped
set LOG_FILE=update_log.txt
echo You are about to run these updates:
for %%G IN (%*) do (
if exist %%~sG\NUL echo %%G
)
pause
for %%G IN (%*) do (
if exist %%G\NUL (
if exist %%G\update.bat (
call %%G\update.bat %LOG_FILE%
) else (
echo No update.bat found in %%G.
goto :no_batch_found
)
)
)
goto :success
:no_update_dropped
echo NO UPDATE FOLDER FOUND
echo Drag and drop one or more update folder to run.
goto :exit
:no_batch_found
echo UPDATE NOT COMPLETED!
goto exit
:success
echo all updated has been run successfully
goto :exit
:exit
pause
Best Regards.
You can sort your argument list right in your for loop like this:
setlocal enabledelayedexpansion
for /f "delims=" %%a in ('(for %%i in (%*^) do #echo %%~i^)^|sort') do (
set dirname=%%a
set dirname=!dirname:~0,-1!
echo use "!dirname!" without the trailing space
)
P.S. It seems like sort appends a space to the end of string,(WTF ????) so you'll have to get rid of it. I changed the code.
Finally with the help of dbenham's explanation this becomes:
for /f "delims=" %%a in ('cmd /c "for %%i in (%*) do #echo %%~i"^|sort') do (
echo use "%%a"
)
P.P.S This should work safer with commas in names (of course, they must be quoted)
for /f "delims=" %%a in ('cmd /c ^"for %%i in ^(%*^) do #echo %%~i^"^|sort') do (
echo use "%%a"
)
I would change the input set.
You can order by name by using /on and to get directories
/ad
so all directories by name =
dir /ad /on
