I have a folder where files are dumped with timestamps...
filename_ver20130405121320.csv
I wish to create a batch script that makes sure 5 files have been created with todays date.
im guessing i will need to use a for loop with a date limit of today.
FOR /r %foldername% %%g IN (*.csv) DO (
echo %%~nxg
)
using a forfiles statement lists the files, is it possible to use a counter and +=1 every time it displays a filename?
forfiles /S /P %foldername% /m *.csv /d 0
the logic is
if number of files in a foldername is less than 5 where file created is today
echo error! missing files
any help would be much appreciated
date returned on machine as Mon 22/07/2013
use this to set date

GOTO :EOF
I've simply set yyyy,mm,dd to constants, obviously - just poke your date-decoder in as appropriate.
Note that you could prefix the filemask with a directoryname if required - and enclose the entire filemask in "rabbit's ears" if there are spaces or other confounding characters in the resultant mask.
Important: the filemask is merely a primary filter. The dir would list a file named filename_ver2013040512132.csv for instance (1 digit missing...) so the gymnastics with the processing would still be required.
I'm also assuming relatively sane filenames. Likely ! in a filename would cause conniptions.
I came up with this and it seems to work so far
for /f "tokens=2" %%I in ("%date%") do set today=%%I
for /f "tokens=5" %%G in ('dir %foldername% /a-d ^| find "%today%"') do (
set /a fileCounter += 1
echo %%G
)
echo %fileCounter%
This may work (untested): edited to check only the date in yyyymmdd format
#echo off
for /f "delims=" %%a in ('wmic OS Get localdatetime ^| find "."') do set dt=%%a
set datestamp=%dt:~0,8%
for /f %%a in ('dir "*ver%datestamp%*.csv" /b /a-d^|find /c /v "" ') do (
if %%a LSS 5 echo files are missing
)

I recently asked you guys some help for a double conditions in batch file. You guys helped me very well but I'm now struggling with a new trouble... I'm trying to optimize my script.
Previous question (How to double conditions in batch file?)
I would like to list all files with the .doc extension that are in the subfolders named on the current date only. I think I'm making a mistake on the use of this double loop.
#echo off
chcp 1252
set Pathname="D:\testDir"
set year=%date:~-4%
set month=%date:~-7,2%
set day=%date:~-10,2%
set logfile=%Pathname%\logs\log.txt
cd %Pathname%
d:
for /D /R %%i in (*%year%_%month%_%day%*) do (
for /R %%i %%s in (*.doc) do (
echo "file : %%s worked and does an output at %time%" >> %logfile%
)
)
Can you give me a little help? Thanks for your help and advices.
EDIT: I need to perform actions on each .doc file in folders containing the string YEAR_MONTH_DAY. But the .doc files can also be located in other subdirectories.
It could be something like that :
D:\testDir\directory1_2021_11_16\test.doc
D:\testDir\directory1_2021_11_16\test.log
D:\testDir\directory1_2021_11_16\subDirectory1\test.doc
D:\testDir\directory1_2021_11_16\subDirectory1\test.log
D:\testDir\directory1_2021_11_17\test.doc
D:\testDir\directory1_2021_11_17\test.log
D:\testDir\directory1_2021_11_17\subDirectory1\test.doc
D:\testDir\directory1_2021_11_17\subDirectory1\test.log
D:\testDir\directory1_2021_11_17\subDirectory2\test.doc
D:\testDir\directory1_2021_11_17\subDirectory2\test.log
D:\testDir\directory1_2021_11_17\subDirectory2\subSubDirectory1\test.doc
D:\testDir\directory1_2021_11_17\subDirectory2\ubSubDirectory1\test.log
D:\testDir\directoryThatIDontCare\test.doc
D:\testDir\directoryThatIDontCare\test.log
D:\testDir\directoryThatIDontCare\subDirectory1\test.doc
D:\testDir\directoryThatIDontCare\subDirectory1\test.log
Any solutions ? Thanks for your time guys !

If you want to know how any of it works, please use the built-in help information for each command, use the site search facility and/or your chosen search provider. I am not a private tutor, so will not be performing such a role.
Say I have a search mask like "*casting?00*" that should corresponds to a directory in a tree, by the amount of filename matches. How do I return only the subdirectory with most filename matches?
Loop recursively over the subfolders, count the matching files in each (save them to a temporary file for further processing). Sort it and get the last line, separating counter and foldername:
#echo off
setlocal enabledelayedexpansion
del tmp.csv 2>nul
for /r /d %%a in (*) do (
set "count="
for /f %%b in ('dir /b "%%a\*casting?00*" 2^>nul ^|find /c /v ""') do (
set "count= %%b"
echo !count:~-4!,%%a >>tmp.csv
)
)
sort tmp.csv
for /f "tokens=1,* delims=, " %%a in ('sort tmp.csv') do set "folder=%%b" & set "count=%%a"
echo --- %count% findings in %folder% ---
Note: If more than one folder have the same max. amount of matching files, this will give you the last one only.
Edit to use an array instead of a file (less readable in my opinion, but just to show, how it can be done):
#echo off
setlocal enabledelayedexpansion
set index=0
for /r /d %%a in (*) do (
set "count="
set /a index+=1
for /f %%b in ('dir /b "%%a\*casting?00*" 2^>nul ^|find /c /v ""') do (
set "count= %%b"
set "Array[!index!]=!count:~-4!,%%a
)
)
set Array
for /f "tokens=1,* delims=, " %%x in (
'(for /f "tokens=2 delims==" %%a in ('set Array'^) do #echo %%a^)^|sort'
) do set "count=%%x" & set "folder=%%y"
echo --- %count% findings in %folder% ---
I somewhat apologize as I've hijacked this question a bit. This isn't meant to be a competing answer -- rather a continuation of the discussion using an array of variables.
I should probably use the term "pseudo-array" for my approach. I would replace the traditional incremental array index with the count of files. I would add the foldername to the variable name to eliminate duplicates.
There are plenty of "gotcha's". Which is pretty much always true in CMD. Special characters will cause problems. With the method I will show, the characters ", =, ], and [ will definitely cause problems. Another issue is the length of the command line and variable name length. If your paths get to be really long then this code will choke. I think it's somewhere around 8,000.
Generally, to get numbers to sort alphabetically, you must pad them with leading characters (commonly zeros or spaces). When numbers will be arbitrary and incremental, my personal preference is to start with a large number like 10000 instead of 0 or 1. In this scenario, though, I am not using incremental numbers but instead am using the count of files as a pseudo-index. I prefer math to padding zeros, so I just add 1,000,000 to the count. This will keep it alphabetical as long as there are 8,999,999 files or fewer in any subfolder. I'm pretty sure the maximum possibility within CMD math limitations would be starting with 1,000,000,000 which allows for around 1,147,483,648 files.

I have a batch file that processes scanned PDFs using ghostscript. One of the user prompts is for the resolution of the desired output. I wrote a crude autodetect routine like this:
for /f "delims=" %%a in ('findstr /C:"/Height 1650" %1') do set resdect=150
for /f "delims=" %%a in ('findstr /C:"/Height 3300" %1') do set resdect=300
for /f "delims=" %%a in ('findstr /C:"/Height 6600" %1') do set resdect=600
echo %resdect% DPI detected.
%1 is the filename passed to the batch script.
This should return the the highest resolution detected of some common sizes we see. My question to the community is: Is there a faster or more efficient way to do this other than search the file multiple times?
Assuming that the value of RESDECT is the /Height value divided by 11, and that no line contains more than one /Height token, the following code might work for you:
#echo off
for /F delims^=^ eol^= %%A in ('findstr /R /I /C:"/Height *[0-9][0-9]*" "%~1"') do (
set "LINE=%%A"
setlocal EnableDelayedExpansion
set "RESDECT=!LINE:*/Height =!"
set /A "RESDECT/=11"
echo/!RESDECT!
endlocal
)
If you only want to match the dedicated /Height values 1650, 3300, 6600, you could use this:
#echo off
for /F delims^=^ eol^= %%A in ('findstr /I /C:"/Height 1650" /C:"/Height 3300" /C:"/Height 6600" "%~1"') do (
set "LINE=%%A"
setlocal EnableDelayedExpansion
set "RESDECT=!LINE:*/Height =!"
set /A "RESDECT/=11"
echo/!RESDECT!
endlocal
)
To gather the greatest /Height value appearing in the file, you can use this script, respecting the aforementioned assumptions:
#echo off
set "RESDECT=0"
for /F delims^=^ eol^= %%A in ('findstr /R /I /C:"/Height *[0-9][0-9]*" "%~1"') do (
set "LINE=%%A"
setlocal EnableDelayedExpansion
set "HEIGHT=!LINE:*/Height =!"
for /F %%B in ('set /A HEIGHT/11') do (
if %%B gtr !RESDECT! (endlocal & set "RESDECT=%%B") else endlocal
)
)
echo %RESDECT%
Of course you can again exchange the findstr command line like above.
Here is another approach to get the greatest /Height value, using (pseudo-)arrays, which might be faster than the above method, because there are no extra cmd instances created in the loop:
#echo off
setlocal
set "RESDECT=0"
for /F delims^=^ eol^= %%A in ('findstr /R /I /C:"/Height *[0-9][0-9]*" "%~1"') do (
set "LINE=%%A"
setlocal EnableDelayedExpansion
set "HEIGHT=!LINE:*/Height =!"
set /A "HEIGHT+=0, RES=HEIGHT/11" & set "HEIGHT=0000000000!HEIGHT!"
for /F %%B in ("$RESOLUTIONS[!HEIGHT:~-10!]=!RES!") do endlocal & set "%%B"
)
for /F "tokens=2 delims==" %%B in ('set $RESOLUTIONS[') do set "RESDECT=%%B"
echo %RESDECT%
endlocal
At first all heights and related resolutions are collected in an array called $RESOLUTIONS[], where the /Height values are used as indexes and the resolutions are the values. The heights become left-zero-padded to a fixed number of digits, so set $RESOLUTIONS[ return them in ascending order. The second for /F loop returns the last arrays element whose value is the greatest resolution.
I do have to admit that this was inspired by Aacini's nice answer.
get the corresponding line to a variable and work with that instead of the whole file. Instead of your three for loops, you can use just one, when you change the logic a bit:
#echo off
setlocal enabledelayedexpansion
for /f "delims=" %%a in ('findstr /C:"/Height " %1') do (
set "line=%%a"
set "line=!line:*/Height =!"
for /f "delims=/ " %%b in ("!line!") do set "hval=!hval! %%b"
)
for %%a in (1650,3300,6600) do #(
echo " %hval% " | find " %%a " >nul && set /a resdect=%%a/11
)
echo %resdect% DPI detected.
A solution with jrepl.bat could look something like:
for /f %a in ('type t.txt^|find "/Height "^|jrepl ".*/Height ([0-9]{4}).*" "$1"^|sort') do set /a dpi==%a / 11
(given, all valid Heights have 4 digits)
Note: for use in batchfiles, use %%a instead of %a
I barely scratched the surface of jrepl - I'm quite sure, there is a much more elegant (and probably faster) solution.
You may directly convert the Height value into the highest resolution in a single operation using an array. However, to do that we need to know the format of the line that contain the Height value. In the code below I assumed that the format of such a line is /Height xxxx, that is, that the height is the second token in the line. If this is not true, just adjust the "tokens=2" value in the for /F command.
EDIT: Code modified as requested in comments
In this modified code the Height value may appear anywhere in the line.
#echo off
setlocal EnableDelayedExpansion
rem Initialize "resDect" array
for %%a in ("1650=150" "3300=300" "6600=600") do (
for /F "tokens=1,2 delims==" %%b in (%%a) do (
set "resDect[%%b]=%%c"
)
)
set "highResDect=0"
for /F "delims=" %%a in ('findstr "/Height" %1') do (
set "line=%%a"
set "line=!line:*/Height =!"
for /F %%b in ("!line!") do set /A "thisRectDect=resDect[%%b]"
if !thisRectDect! gtr !highResDect! set "highResDect=!thisRectDect!"
)
echo %highResDect% DPI detected.
For the record, the final code was:
setlocal enabledelayedexpansion
set resdetc=0
for /f "delims=" %%a in ('findstr /C:"/Height " %1') do (
set "line=%%a"
set "line=!line:*/Height =!"

I have a directory of files for example:
\1.gif
\1.pdf
\1.doc
\2.gif
\2.pdf
\2.doc
\3.gif
\4.gif
How do I get a file with just the list of files (with extensions) that have unique filenames? (i.e. 3.gif, 4.gif)
Thanks
This does not work with special characters like !, = and more.
#ECHO OFF &SETLOCAL
for %%a in (*) do set ".%%~na=%%~xa"& set /a $%%~na+=1
for /f "tokens=1*delims==." %%a in ('set .') do for /f "tokens=2delims==" %%c in ('set "$%%a"') do if %%c==1 echo(%%a.%%b
i havent tested it, but try this:
#echo off
setlocal enabledelayedexpansion
pushd path\to\dir
for /f %%i in ('dir /b *.gif') do (
find "%%~ni" "%tmp%\u" >nul 2>&1 || echo %%~ni >> "%tmp%\u"

for /f %%i in ('type "%tmp%\u"') do (
set inc=
for /f %%j in ('dir %%i.gif /b') do set /a inc+=1
if !inc! EQU 1 (dir /b %%i.* ^|find "log" /v >> log)
)
please feel free to comment if there are any mistakes, not in a position to test it right now.
This will work as long as none of the file names contain the = character:
#echo off
setlocal
for /f "eol== delims==" %%V in ('"set _ 2>nul"') do set "%%V="
for %%F in (*) do if not defined _%%~nF (set "_%%~nF=%%F") else set "_%%~nF=="
for /f "eol== tokens=2 delims==" %%F in ('"set _|findstr /v =="') do #echo %%F
EDIT
If you want to restrict output to only one file type, .gif for example, then all you need is an extra FINDSTR:
#echo off
setlocal
for /f "eol== delims==" %%V in ('"set _ 2>nul"') do set "%%V="
for %%F in (*) do if not defined _%%~nF (set "_%%~nF=%%F") else set "_%%~nF=="
for /f "eol== tokens=2 delims==" %%F in ('"set _|findstr /v ==|findstr /lie .gif"') do #echo %%F
