2 Batches required

July 17, 2008

I need to automate those 2 tasks :

1-Distribute number of files inside 1 directory to subdirectories

created each one include only 1000 file. All of them named

1,2,3...etc.

files .

Please help .

Try this:

1. Copy and paste the lines below into c:\Windows\happy.bat.

2. Adjust Line #05 to suit your environment.

3. Remove all line numbers.

4. Run the batch file.

5. If you're happy with the result you see on the screen, remove

the word "echo" from Lines #12 and #13.

I do not understand what you're trying to achieve with your second

question. Please elaborate.

01. @echo off

02. set limit=1000

03. set count=0

04. set DirName=1

05. set source=d:\Thu

06.

07. setlocal enabledelayedexpansion

08. dir /b "%source%\*.txt" > c:\dir.txt

09.

10. echo Moving files from "%Source%" to "%Source%\%DirName%"

11. for /F "tokens=*" %%* in (c:\dir.txt) do (

12. if not exist "%Source%\!DirName!" echo md "%Source%\!DirName!"

13. echo move "%Source%\%%*" "%Source%\!DirName!"

14. set /a count=!count! + 1

15. if !count! GEQ %limit% (

16. set count=0

17. set /a DirName=!DirName! + 1

18. echo Moving files from "%Source%" to "%Source%\!DirName!"

19. )

20. )

21. del c:\dir.txt

Well - I know where you're coming from, but my biggest problem is that

the problems are pretty loosely defined - maybe an English as a second

(or third) language issue.

The second one is pretty easy to write, but hard to imagine for a less

than intermediate batch writer, so I took a crack (using NT/2K/XP/

Vista(?) approach) ...

@echo off

set fldr1="D:\Folder 1"

set fldr2="X:\Folder 2"

for %%A in (%fldr1%\*.*) do (

if not exist %fldr2%\%%~nxA (

echo %%~nxA in %fldr1% and NOT in %fldr2%)

)

for %%A in (%fldr2%\*.*) do (

if not exist %fldr1%\%%~nxA (

echo %%~nxA in %fldr2% and NOT in %fldr1%)

)

This can be done in no NT variant OSs, need to forgo the use of the

parentheses and CD into the folder under test before each of the FOR

statements. If the folders are on different drive it requires another

trick or two. But I leave that to a follow up (if there is one).

I didn't touch the first one without OPs input (code and or more

explanation of what is trying to be accomplished.)

I figure the OP wants a series of folders inside the current folder named

1,2,3,4...n that each contain 1000 files. The files are to be moved from

the current folder.

Sounds about right but ISTM is a easily handled(manually) one time

operation.

Only OP knows for sure what was meant by "compare names of files".

BTW, you have a % missing from the last %F. :O

I tried that a sample version but not working with me :

@echo off

set limit=2

set count=0

set DirName=1

I required in the second batch to compare name of files not contents

of file . When I tried FC command it compared contents like this :

F:\etisalat\batches>for %f in (F:\etisalat\batches\data\*.*) do fc %f

F:\etisalat\batches\new\*.*

F:\etisalat\batches>fc F:\etisalat\batches\data\1.txt F:\etisalat

\batches\new\*.

*

Comparing files F:\ETISALAT\BATCHES\DATA\1.txt and F:\ETISALAT\BATCHES

\NEW\1.txt

FC: no differences encountered

F:\etisalat\batches>fc F:\etisalat\batches\data\2.txt F:\etisalat

\batches\new\*.

*

Comparing files F:\ETISALAT\BATCHES\DATA\2.txt and F:\ETISALAT\BATCHES

\NEW\2.txt

FC: no differences encountered

F:\etisalat\batches>fc F:\etisalat\batches\data\3.txt F:\etisalat

\batches\new\*.

*

Comparing files F:\ETISALAT\BATCHES\DATA\3.txt and F:\ETISALAT\BATCHES

\NEW\3.txt

FC: no differences encountered

F:\etisalat\batches>fc F:\etisalat\batches\data\4.txt F:\etisalat

\batches\new\*.

*

Comparing files F:\ETISALAT\BATCHES\DATA\4.txt and F:\ETISALAT\BATCHES

\NEW\4.txt

FC: no differences encountered

But when I tried that batch below I got wrong results (wrong file

names not even exist in the folders mentioned in set statements

:

@echo off

set fldr1="F:\etisalat\batches\data"

set fldr2="F:\etisalat\batches\new"

for %%A in (%fldr1%\*.*) do (

if not exist %fldr2%\%%~nxA (

echo %%~nxA in %fldr1% and NOT in %fldr2%)

)

for %%A in (%fldr2%\*.*) do (

if not exist %fldr1%\%%~nxA (

echo %%~nxA in %fldr2% and NOT in %fldr1%)

)

Results:

================

You write "I tried that a sample version but not working with me".

This doesn't tell me anything. Remember - I can't see your screen,

hence you need to be a lot more specific.

I also suggest you reply quickly. You started this thread five weeks

ago and it is about to disappear from my newsreader's horizon.

Two errors: Your parentheses were mismatched

and for long filenames the "%%~nxA" term has to be double quoted

(this works below but the syntax that splits a path into multiple

double-quoted terms will not work with all Microsoft tools)

divide.bat is working fine to me :

-----------

@echo off

set limit=2

set count=0

set DirName=1

set source=F:\etisalat\batches\data

set new=F:\etisalat\batches\new

setlocal enabledelayedexpansion

dir /b "%source%\*.txt" > %new%\dir.txt

echo Moving files from "%Source%" to "%new%\%DirName%"

for /F "tokens=*" %%* in (%new%\dir.txt) do (

if not exist "%Source%\!DirName!" md "%new%\!DirName!"

move "%Source%\%%*" "%new%\!DirName!"

:: if not exist "%Source%\!DirName!" echo md "%new%\!DirName!"

:: echo move "%Source%\%%*" "%new%\!DirName!"

set /a count=!count! + 1

if !count! GEQ %limit% (

set count=0

set /a DirName=!DirName! + 1

)

echo Moving files from "%Source%" to "%new%\!DirName!"

::del c:\dir.txt

But executing compare.bat results are wrong though the 2 directories

contains different files I got this :

F:\etisalat\batches>compare

data in "F:\etisalat\batches\data" and NOT in "F:\etisalat\batches

\new"

new in "F:\etisalat\batches\new" and NOT in "F:\etisalat\batches

\data"

I need to show the files that are in directory and in not in the other

directory .

compare.bat :

----------

@echo off

set fldr1="F:\etisalat\batches\data"

set fldr2="F:\etisalat\batches\new"

for %%A in (%fldr1%\*.*) do (

if not exist %fldr2%\"%%~nxA" (

echo %%~nxA in %fldr1% and NOT in %fldr2%

)

for %%A in (%fldr2%\*.*) do (

if not exist %fldr1%\"%%~nxA" (

echo %%~nxA in %fldr2% and NOT in %fldr1%

)

Thanks
