I have a batch-file which pulls a file from a url using powershell and then outputs/updates the file in a specific directory. But I have many of these directories, the only thing that changes about the path is numbers between \command\ and \setup\. How would I get it to put the file in every folder automatically?
Essentially I would like to output the downloaded text file in each of the install subdirectories of that path.
Also how could I make it happen silently?
#echo off
echo !!! PRESS ANY KEY TO CONTINUE AND UPDATE!!!
pause
powershell -Command "Invoke-WebRequest http://example.com/log/read.txt" -OutFile C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Roaming\base\command\234235234\setup\install\read.txt 2>NUL >NUL
echo !!! DONE NOW !!!
echo !!! YOU CAN RE-OPEN NOW !!!
for /d /r "dirname" %%a in (*) do if /i "%%~nxa"=="install" echo %%a
may be useful to you.
Your requirement is unclear. Do you want to copy the file to the install subdirectories of ...\234235234\.. only, or of ...\*\... ?
Replace dirname with the name of the starting directory, be it ...\234235234\.. or C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Roaming\base\command and the command I have shown will report all of the install directories contained under dirname. All you need then do is to change the echo to an appropriate copy command - see copy /? from the prompt. You can suppress copy's responses by appending >nul 2>nul (suppress messages and suppress error messages)
for /d /r with * as the list element will process a list of all subdirectories starting at the nominated directory. The if command selects only the leaf directories that match install in either case (/i)
Since
for /d /r ...
does nor detect hidden directories, another approach is
for /f "delims=" %%a in ('dir /s /b /ad "dirname" ') do if /i "%%~nxa"=="sub1" echo %%a
Which in this case should be
for /f "delims=" %%a in ('dir /s /b /ad "C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Roaming\base\command" ') do if /i "%%~nxa"=="sub1" echo %%a
The dir command produces a list in /b basic (name-only) form, /s including subdirectories, /ad of directories only (names with the directory attribute set). This list is processed line-by-line by for /f without delimiters so the entire line (including spaces, if any) is assigned to %%a and displayed.
I have a issue with a backup script I wrote. The backup is pretty simple. It will copy a directory to a destination path, and then zip it. I have a few If clauses to, example, delete the oldest backup if there are 5 or more .zip from previous backups.
The problem I'm facing is: after the XCOPY command has finished running I then run a PowerShell script from my Batch to zip the backup, but I get this error:
This happens becaus the .bat file is running. I've checked.
The code for both the batch and power shell script follows:
BATCH:

[io.compression.zipfile]::CreateFromDirectory($source, $destination)
Remove-Item $source\* -Recurse -Exclude *.zip
What I have tried to solve the problem:
Create a Master.ps1 with a list of scripts to run, where the first one is, obliviously, the backup batch file and then the zipping ps1 file.
Call the zipping ps1 file from the backup batch file on another window and then kill the batch. In this case, the first line of the zipping script was:
Start-Sleep -s 15
So I was certain that the batch was killed before I really started zipping.
None of the above worked. Any help? If nothing works I'll just schedule them as separated tasks on Windows.
I have a folder of .log files where the content of each file has multiple lines of the following format:
yyyy/mm/dd, hh:mm:ss, ComputerName, IPAddress, stuff, stuff
I would like to create a batch file to parse through the .log files and create the following output for any line in a file where ComputerName starts with "XPLT":
filename,yyyy/mm/dd,ComputerName,IPAddress
And preferably, I'd like to only look at files with a modified date within the last 30 days.
So far, I've only gotten the following code which doesn't even work and doesn't even include the file modified date and parsing by ComputerName. Looking for help because I've just not done this very much, and I can't find a good example online.
Echo EID,Date,PCName,IPAdd>CitrixLogs.csv
setlocal enabledelayedexpansion
for /f "tokens=1,3,4" %%i in ('dir /b "C:\LogFiles\*.log"') do (
echo %%i,%%j,%%k,%%l>>CitrixLogs.csv
)
I'd use a bit of FINDSTR magic:
set LOG_DIR=c:\logfiles
for /f "tokens=1-7 delims=:," %%L in ('%SystemRoot%\System32\findstr.exe /r /c:"^[0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9]/[0-9][0-9]/[0-9][0-9],[0-9][0-9]:[0-9][0-9]:[0-9][0-9],xplt.*," %LOG_DIR%\*.log') do #echo %%L,%%M,%%N:%%O:%%P,%%Q,%%R,
`
REM
#ECHO OFF
SETLOCAL
SET "sourcedir=U:\sourcedir"
FOR /f "tokens=2-8delims=:, " %%a IN ('findstr /l /i /c:", XPLT" "%sourcedir%\*.log"') DO (
ECHO %%~nxa,%%b,%%c:%%d:%%e,%%f,%%g
)
GOTO :eof
redirect to your .csv as you will...
#echo off
setlocal enableextensions disabledelayedexpansion
:: configuration
set "logFolder=%cd%"
set "logFiles=*.log"
set "maxFileAge=30"
set "computerName=XPLT"
set "outputFile=CitrixLogs.csv"
:: adjust commands to execute according to configuration
set "ageFilter=robocopy "%logFolder%" "%logFolder%" "%logFiles%" /l /is /njh /njs /nc /ns /ndl /maxage:%maxFileAge%"
set "contentFilter=findstr /f:/ /i /r /c:"^^[^^,]*, [^^,]*, %computerName%" "
:: Generate output file
( echo(EID,Date,PCName,IPAdd
for /f "usebackq tokens=2,* delims=:" %%a in (
`cmd /q /c "for /f tokens^=* %%a in ('%ageFilter%') do echo(%%a" ^| %contentFilter% `
) do for /f "tokens=1,3,4 delims=," %%c in ("%%b") do echo(%%~nxa,%%c,%%d,%%e
) > "%outputFile%"
endlocal
This will use robocopy (or you can change it with forfiles) to search for files with a max age of 30 days in the indicated folder. Files will not be copied (/l) but the list will be echoed (the rest of the switch configure the output). This list of files is piped into findstr (/f:/) indicating where to search for the lines that match the indicated condition. This will generate an output with each line in the input file matching the condition, prefixed with the name (full name) of the file. This line is then splitted to output only the required fields.
dir /S /aH doesnt work as it wont delve any deeper inside of unhidden folders.
EDIT: turns out it WAS dir /S /aH just there wasnt any hidden or system files or folders within the non hidden files or folders i was testing on.
This is problematic and the only way I know to solve it is ugly and will give you the result in a "function":
#echo off
setlocal ENABLEEXTENSIONS
goto main
:EnumAllFiles
FOR /F "tokens=*" %%A IN ('dir /B /S /A:-D-H "%~1" 2^>nul') DO call :%2 "%%~A"
FOR /F "tokens=*" %%A IN ('dir /B /S /A:-DH "%~1" 2^>nul') DO call :%2 "%%~A"
goto :EOF
:mycallback
echo file=%~1
goto :EOF
:main
call :EnumAllFiles "c:\someDirToSearch" mycallback
(This does not tell the mycallback function about folders since you said you wanted files)
Edit: It seems like dir /B /S /a-D also works
I am trying to write a batch file which will append all *.csv files in the immediate subdirectories to a single text file in the current directory.
From various sources I have managed to piece together this code which works fine for files in the current dir but not sub-dirs
for %%a in (*.csv) do (type %%a >> csvreport.txt)
If anybody could help me with this I would be extremely grateful as I have tried various approaches with wildcards but without success.
Yet another option...
for /f usebackq %%a in (`dir /s /b *.csv`) do (type %%a >> csvreport.txt)
EDIT: Reading your details a bit more ... you want just the immediate directories, you can do this:
for /f usebackq %%a in (`dir /b /ad`) do for %%b in ("%%a"\*.csv) do (type "%%b" >> csvreport.txt)
for /R .\ %%a in (*.csv) do (type %%a >> csvreport.txt)
The /R indicates recursive and the parameter afterward is the folder in which to start (.\ is the current directory).
You can find up more if you run for /?
dir /ad /b > dirs.txt
for /f "tokens=1*" %%i in (dirs.txt) do cd %%i & for %%b in (*.csv) do (type %%b >> c:\csvreport.txt) & cd ..
Using the /R flag will traverse all subdirectory trees. You can nest the 'for' statements to only work with the immediate subdirectories but not their subdirectories.
