Scheduled service/script/batch file to move files on condition of other files with similar filenames in same directory on windows
- by ilasno
On Windows Server (Data Center? 2008?), i'm trying to set up a scheduled task that will:
Within a particular directory
For every file in it
If there exists (in the same directory) 2 files with similar names (actually the same name with extra extensions tagged on, ie. 'file1.mov' would need both 'file1.mov.flv' AND 'file1.mov.mpg' to exist), then move the file to another directory on a different disk.
Following is what i have so far for a batch file, but i'm struggling. I'm also open to another technique/mechanism.
@setlocal enableextensions enabledelayedexpansion
@echo off
SET MoveToDirectory=M:\_SourceVideosFromProduction
ECHO MoveToDirectory=%MoveToDirectory%
pause
for /r %%i in (*) do (
REM ECHO %%i
REM ECHO %%~nxi
REM ECHO %%~ni
REM ECHO filename=%filename%
REM SET CurrentFilename=%%~ni
REM ECHO CurrentFilename=%CurrentFilename%
IF NOT %%~ni==__MoveSourceFiles (
IF NOT x%%%~ni:\.=%==x%%%~ni% DO (
REM SET HasDot=0
REM FOR /F %%g IN %filename% do (
REM IF %%g==. (
ECHO %filename%
REM )
)
)
)
pause
