thanks
For help try execute if /? on the command line. And set /?.
What you need is a counter variable which is increased in your for loop. And an if statement that checks if the value is 3 for example and then echos %%b.

I am trying to rename some MP4 files based on file size of mp4 files in another directory. I want to name all files with identical sizes to same name. Meaning if the file size of the source file matches the size of file in the comparison directory, the source file is renamed to whatever the compared file is named. Because both directories need to be read recursively I'm thinking it would be easier to make a list for comparison with the info in it in 2 columns by using the DIR /s /b echo %%~zs>>filesizelist.txt command giving me a list like
123456789 movie.mp4
987654321 movie2.mp4
Then pass all source mp4s to the batch file and if %%~za matches a value in first column then ren the file to the
corresponding filename. Is this the best path? I tried to script it to work on the fly and that was both a no-go and the source of my 3 day headache(plus the reference list rarely changes and is obviously easily updated). Can someone please assist me with the script?
I do some test with my mp4, and the code works, and for you perform your test, you w´ll need change/put this 2 line above with the path to your folder/directory (one to keep and another to compare), by replacing in the line code is like this:
`set "_target_to_keeped=C:\Users\ecker\Videos\Target"`
`set "_target_to_rename=C:\Users\ecker\Videos\Ren_it"`
You need add the folder where are files to keep and files to rename (if size+name match) on same lines where are the 2 lines code up in this test (sorry not explain in good English, my English is not help me). By now, is late 01:53, i need sleep... yep! so, have nice code!
#echo off && setlocal enableextensions enabledelayedexpansion

I am trying to adjust some code which is shown below and hitting walls.
The commandline appears as:
cmd.exe /U /C "C:\Program Files\StorageCraft\ShadowProtect\VerifyImages.cmd <PathOfDirectoryWhichContainsImageFiles> <PathToOutputLogFile>
The code basically runs an image verify command against all md5 files in a directory. The problem is that some directories have >200 md5 files and I only want to verify the files created in the last 24 hrs.
I have been able to create a list of the files created in the last 24hrs and output to a text file using a powershell command.
Is it possible to adjust the script below so that it reads the text file line by line and runs the VERIFY_SUB against each? I have tried using the FOR /F command with little luck to this point.
Thanks in advance.

I have some files with different names.
Leviathan.txt,Dragon.txt and so on
I wanted to turn it into a digit begins
1.txt,2.txt,3.txt,4.txt and so on
how to perform like other language by using For and function that can pass amount files in folder?
my code so far i know is dir and ren. and i stuck now.
ren *.txt 1.txt
Next code snippet could work for you (save with .bat extension); note that rename command is echoed merely for debugging purposes:
#echo off
SETLOCAL enableextensions enabledelayedexpansion
set /A "ii=0"
pushd "working_directory_here"
for /F "delims=" %%G in ('dir /B /ON "*.txt" 2^>NUL') do (
set /A "ii+=1"
echo ren "%%~G" "!ii!%%~nxG"
)
popd
If you insist on an one-liner (launch in proper working directory):
cmd /E:ON /V:ON /K (#echo off^&set /A "ii=0" ^>NUL^&for /F "delims=" %G in ('dir /B /ON "*.txt" 2^^^>NUL') do (set /A "ii+=1" ^>nul^&echo ren "%~G" "!ii!%~nxG"))^&exit

Assuming none of your existing files are already named something like n.txt, where n is a number, then simply CD to your folder, and run the following command from the command line:
for "tokens=1* delims=:" %A in ('dir /b *.txt^|findstr /n "^"') do #ren "%B" "%A.txt"
Double up the percents if you use the command within a batch script.
EDIT
I forgot about my JREN.BAT utility - a regular expression renaming utility. It is pure script (hybrid JScript/batch) that runs natively on any Windows machine from XP onward.
JREN has a built in ability to incorporate a number into each new file name, and as an added bonus, it can left pad the number with zeros so that a DIR command lists the files in numerical order. The default numeric width is 3 digits, so files would be like "001.txt", "002.txt', ... "010.txt", ... "100.txt", etc.
jren "^.*" "$n+'.txt'" /j /fm *.txt
The /NPAD option specifies the minimum numeric width, so NTAB 1 produces no padding, which is what the original question asked for.
jren "^.*" "$n+'.txt'" /j /fm *.txt /npad 1
Since JREN is a batch script itself, you must use CALL JREN if you put the command within another batch script.
Full documentation is available from the command prompt via jren /? | more. My console window is configured with a large buffer, so I can scroll back to see prior output, and I don't bother with piping the help to MORE.
first of all im beginner. i want to create batch file to search through specific folder (including all it subfolder) and copy all file inside it except those which filename contain some specific string,this is what i have so far
set now=fish
set logDirectory="C:\Users\paiseha\Desktop\bb\"
for /r %logDirectory% %%i IN (*%now%*.*) do (
rem copy process goes here
)
let say i have 3 file in it
C:\Users\fareast\Desktop\bb\one.txt
C:\Users\fareast\Desktop\bb\twofishtwo.txt
C:\Users\fareast\Desktop\bb\three.txt
so i want to copy file one.txt and three.txt only, but instead it copy only the second one,i know its because of *%now%*.* so how can i invert it so that it does the other way around, help me pls, thanks in advance
try:
#ECHO OFF &setlocal
set "now=fish"
set "logDirectory=C:\Users\paiseha\Desktop\bb"
for /f "delims=" %%a in ('dir /a-d/b/s "%logDirectory%"^|findstr /riv "^.*[\\][^\\]*%now%[^\\]*$"') do (
rem copy process goes here
)
EDIT: The \ character is represented as [\\] instead of \\ because of a quirk on how Vista FINDSTR regex escapes \. Vista requires \\\\, but XP and Win 7 use \\. The only representation that works on all platforms is [\\]. See What are the undocumented features and limitations of the Windows FINDSTR command? for more info.
for /f "delims=" %%a in ('dir /a-d/s/b "%logDirectory%" ') do echo %%~nxa|findstr /i /L "%now%" >nul&if errorlevel 1 ECHO COPY "%%a"
should work for you.
1 echo off
2
3 echo Please enter a date
4 set /p a=
5 echo %a%
6 for /D %%d in (M:\Serienbriefauftrag\*) do (
7 if not exist %%d\Erledigt\*.bat echo %%d
8 )
9 pause
10 for /d %%b in (dir M:\Serienbriefauftrag\%%d /T:C)
11 echo %%b
12 pause
The Code works fine until line 10 (syntax error) the aim is, to get the creation date of the folder compare it with "%a%" and and if it's under the entered date "%a%", the folder should be moved. but somehow...
found a way to get the creation date
if not exist %%d\Erledigt\*.bat echo %%~td|findstr /i /l
the new task is to make the output "calculateable"
Two things:
1) In line 10 %%d is undefined (empty), since the scope of the first loop (where it is defined) is left in line 8.
You can set another variable to %%d to be able to use it after the loop ends, but be careful. In batch using set in for loops is a bit tricky. To get around the aweful use of delayed variable expansion, I would suggest to you staying inside of the loop while doing your work.
#echo off
set /p a=Please enter a date:
for /d %%d in (M:\Serienbriefauftrag\*) do (
if not exist %%d\Erledigt\*.bat (
:: Do whatever you want with %%d in here
echo "%%d"
)
)
pause
2) The syntax of your second loop is wrong. You are missing the do before the loop body and /d lets the loop iterate over all folders in a specified directory. dir M:\Serienbriefauftrag\%%d /T:C is not a directory but a command.
If you want to iterate over the output of that command, you have to use /f and put the contents of the paranthesis in single quotes, like that ('dir M:\Serienbriefauftrag\%%d /T:C').
