Remove RAW camera-files, based on deleted JPGs, windows batch script - batch-file

Question

I always let my photocamera create a RAW-file ànd a JPG when taking photos.
In my work-flow for "developing" the RAW-files, I first go through the JPG's and delete the JPG's from the photos which I don't want to process. I am then left with a directory with all the RAW-files and some of the JPG's:
DSC01864.ARW
DSC01865.ARW
DSC01866.ARW
DSC01867.ARW
DSC01868.ARW
DSC01868.JPG
DSC01869.ARW
DSC01869.JPG
DSC01870.ARW
DSC01870.JPG
I want to delete the RAW files for which I already deleted the JPG's. I have made a Windows batch-script for this, but for some reason it doesn't work; it deletes all the RAW-files :-(
The script:
#echo off
for %%F in (*.arw) do (
rem echo %%~nF.jpg
if exist {%%~nF.jpg} (
echo File %%F is kept
echo ------------------------
) else (
del %%F
echo File %%F is removed
echo ------------------------
) )
goto :EOF
I would like to now what I am doing wrong....
Apparently it doesn't recognise any JPG-file.
BTW, I used to have a working script for Bash (Linux), but I use DXO optics on Windows nowadays and am in need of a Windows-version. My bash-script:
#!/bin/bash
for rawfile in *.ARW
do
jpegfile="`basename "$rawfile" .ARW`.JPG"
if [ ! -e $jpegfile ]
then
/bin/rm -f $rawfile
fi
done

Answer 1

Your mistake is in line
if exist {%%~nF.jpg} (
{ and } have no special meaning and are therefore read as literal characters.
So this IF condition checks for *.jpg files with { at beginning and }at end of the file name.
Simply remove { and } and your batch file works.

Answer 2

I have added the creation of a sub-directory called RAW and the deletion of all the original JPG's from the camera (as I don't use them anymore).
And I've creared a 2nd script which can be run after the "developing part" of the workflow. This 2nd script checks which RAW-files have been processed succesfully and moves those RAW-files and their configuration-file (made by DXO Optics) to the RAW sub-directory. I keep them archived in case I want to process them in the future again.
In the main directory it leaves:
DSC01868_DxO.JPG
DSC01869_DxO.JPG
DSC01870_DxO.JPG
While in the RAW-subdirectory one gets:
DSC01868.ARW
DSC01868.ARW.dop
DSC01869.ARW
DSC01869.ARW.dop
DSC01870.ARW
DSC01870.ARW.dop
First script (Windows batch), which deletes the unwanted RAW's, creates a RAW-directory and deletes all original JPG's:
#echo off
for %%F in (*.arw) do (
if exist %%~nF.jpg (
echo File %%F is kept
echo ------------------------
) else (
del %%F
echo File %%F is removed
echo ------------------------
) )
del *.jpg
mkdir RAW
goto :EOF
The 2nd script (Windows batch), which moves the RAW-files and their configuration files to the RAW-subdirectory:
#echo off
for %%F in (*.arw) do (
if exist %%~nF_DxO.jpg (
move %%F RAW\
move %%F.dop RAW\
echo %%F en %%F.dop are moved
echo ------------------------
) else (
echo Nothing moved
echo ------------------------
) )
goto :EOF
I haven made the Bash (Linux) equivalents of these scripts as well.
The first script:
#!/bin/bash
for rawfile in *.ARW
do
jpegfile="`basename "$rawfile" .ARW`.JPG"
if [ ! -e $jpegfile ]
then
/bin/rm -f $rawfile
fi
done
mkdir RAW
rm *.JPG
The 2nd script:
#!/bin/bash
for rawfile in *.ARW
do
jpegfile="`basename "$rawfile" .ARW`_DxO.jpg"
dopfile="$rawfile.dop"
echo "$jpegfile"
if [ -e $jpegfile ]
then
mv $rawfile ./RAW/$rawfile
mv $dopfile ./RAW/$dopfile
fi
done
