skipping C drive

[Guest joshboski]

For some reason this skips over the C drive and instead checks the

work DRIVES

 

 

This is what it looks like when it runs

 

C:\~\Desktop>batch.bat

 

C:\~>FOR /F "tokens=1,2 delims=\ " %A

IN ('FSUTIL FSINFO DRIVES | MORE /E /T0') DO (

REM Skip N:

IF "%A" == "N:" (echo "skipping N" ) else (

echo "Deleting files from %A"

del /S %A\josh.txt

)

)

 

C:\~\Desktop>(

REM Skip N((HERE IS WHERE IS MESSES UP DRIVES SHOULD NOT BE HERE BUT

C: SHOULD BE (See below line):

IF "Drives:" == "N:" (echo "skipping N" ) else (

echo "Deleting files from Drives:"

del /S Drives:\josh.txt

)

)

"Deleting files from Drives:"

The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect.

 

C:\~\Desktop>(

REM Skip N:

IF "D:" == "N:" (echo "skipping N" ) else (

echo "Deleting files from D:"

del /S D:\josh.txt

)

)

"Deleting files from D:"

The device is not ready.

 

C:\~\Desktop>(

REM Skip N:

IF "N:" == "N:" (echo "skipping N" ) else (

echo "Deleting files from N:"

del /S N:\josh.txt

)

)

"skipping N"

Re: skipping C drive

 

I suggest you seek the answer in the thread you started on the

same subject only yesterday. It contains the answers to all of

your questions (and probably a lot more!). I think you have

now three threads running on this issue. It is best to stick to

one single thread on any one question.

Re: skipping C drive

 

I stepped through it and I figured out the problem but I dont have a

solution...the output to

FOR /F "tokens=1,2 delims=\ " %A

IN ('FSUTIL FSINFO DRIVES | MORE /E /T0') DO

 

is

 

Drives: C:/ D:/ N:/

 

So it counts Drives: C:/ as one thing, therefore isnt a valid drive..

 

Im new to using dos and cant for the life of me figure it out

You now have at least four threads on this question. Check

the other three for answers, especially the one you started

yesterday.

Here is a way to solve the problem, in case you haven't

received a solution in the many other threads you started:

@echo off

setlocal EnableDelayedExpansion

FOR /F "tokens=1 delims=\" %%A IN ('FSUTIL FSINFO DRIVES ^| MORE /E /T0') DO

(

set Drive=%%A

set Drive=!Drive:drives: =!

IF "!Drive!"=="N:" (

echo Skipping drive !Drive!

) else (

echo Deleting files from !Drive!

del /S "!Drive!\FILE1"

)

)

BTW, this won't work in DOS. There is no DOS in Windows XP,

only a "command prompt".

Re: skipping C drive

 

I apologize, i could not find my way around the forums, and I didnt

know That it was posted several different places.

I now need to skip any CD ROM drives, so when I run FSUTIL FSINFO

DRIVETYPE, it requires a drive following as such:

 

FSUTIL FSINFO DRIVETYPE %%A , how do I set that as an environmental

string.

 

It displays like this: C: - Fixed Drive

D: - CD-ROM Drive

N: - Remote/Network Drive

I gave you a complete script to do this in one of your other

threads, anticipating that you were posting your question

before fully working out what you wanted. I recommend

you give it a try. Here it is again:

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

If you want something a little snazzier then you can use this script

file to give you the information you want. You may not need much

of the output that the script gives you - it is easy to remove the

irrelevant code.

 

Copy and paste the code below into c:\Windows\diskparms.vbs,

then invoke it like so: cscript //nologo c:\windows\diskparms.vbs

 

Const Removable = 1

Const Fixed = 2

Const Network = 3

Const CDROM = 4

Const RAMDisk = 5

 

Set oFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

Set drives = oFSO.Drives

 

NewLine=Chr(10)

Line = ""

 

For Each drive In drives

Line = Line & "Drive " & drive.Path

Line = Line & " " & ShowDriveType(Drive)

If drive.IsReady _

Then Line = Line & ", ready" _

Else Line = Line & ", not ready"

 

If drive.IsReady Then

If drive.DriveType=Network Then

Line = Line & ", Label=" & drive.ShareName

Else

Line = Line & ", Label=" & drive.VolumeName

End If

 

Line = Line & ", FS=" & drive.FileSystem

Line = Line & ", Total=" & Int(drive.TotalSize/1000000)

Line = Line & ", Free=" & Int(drive.FreeSpace/1000000)

Line = Line & ", Available=" & Int(drive.AvailableSpace/1000000)

Line = Line & ", Serial=" & Hex(drive.SerialNumber)

End If

 

Line = Line & NewLine

Next

wscript.echo Line

 

Function ShowDriveType(Drive)

Select Case drive.DriveType

Case Removable

T = "Removable"

Case Fixed

T = "Fixed"

Case Network

T = "Network"

Case CDROM

T = "CD-ROM"

Case RAMDisk

T = "RAM Disk"

Case Else

T = "Unknown"

End Select

ShowDriveType = T

End Function
