Solve : batch for searching string?

Answer»

I have maded batch which search strings and if it finds it in txt file then it delete some other txt file.

Now problem si because I don't know how search that in subfolders and delete that files there.

for exmple.

there is a file bkpXXXX.txt
in folder e:\uporabniki\mike\documents\logs\bkpXXXX.txt
and when script find words "Na disku ni dovolj prostora"
it delete files e:\uporabniki\mike\documents\logs\XXdateXX.txt

every user have folder with his NAME so I can not put in script one path
like
e:\uporabniki\mike\documents\logs
e:\uporabniki\john\documents\logs
e:\uporabniki\george\documents\logs
e:\uporabniki\anna\documents\logs

and in all folders logs must be date*.txt deleted if script finds strings "Na disku ni dovolj prostora"

here is script but it work only in current folder.

Code: [Select]
findstr /m "Na disku ni dovolj prostora" bkp*.txt
if %errorlevel%==1 (goto B) else (goto A)

:A
del /q *date*.txt

:B
exit
Did you try using the /S option?

del /s /q e:\uporabniki\*date*.txt Quote from: Squashman on April 20, 2015, 06:42:58 AM

Did you try using the /S option?

del /s /q e:\uporabniki\*date*.txt

thanks, but things are more complicated

if I use S option under e:\uporabniki
it will delete all date.txt under e:\uporabniki

but that must not happend.

In bkpXXXX.txt is log what is backuped and if there is a string in it "disk is full" than it is full just for one user not for all, because of quotas.
So file date.txt must be deleted only under that user which have in backup log "disk is full"
because if that file mising from users log I get message that somethig is wrong with that user.

for EXAMPLE

e:\uporabniki\mike\documents\logs
e:\uporabniki\john\documents\logs
e:\uporabniki\george\documents\logs
e:\uporabniki\anna\documents\logs

 script recognise in
e:\uporabniki\anna\documents\logs
is file e:\uporabniki\anna\documents\logs\bkpXXXX.txt
is string "disk is full"
and script msut than delete only this file
e:\uporabniki\anna\documents\logs\XXdateXX.txt

all other must leave alone
e:\uporabniki\mike\documents\logs\XXdateXX.txt
e:\uporabniki\john\documents\logs\XXdateXX.txt
e:\uporabniki\george\documents\logs\XXdateXX.txtdel /s /q e:\uporabniki\%user%\*date*.txt

Set user to the username of the one it finds has a full disk.this way script must be runned by user, I intent to do it on server with admin.
I will CHECK this how it worksI am confused.  You know what user you need to delete it from, because that is what the log file is telling you.  PULL the name out of the log file. Quote from: Squashman on April 20, 2015, 12:15:06 PM

Ok that is possible, I have a txt file with name of user in log folder like this John114S-HPTT.txt
So how can I pull that name and use it in my script?Isn't the log file you want to delete at e:\uporabniki\\documents\logs?
Just do this to the path:
Code: [Select]for /f "tokens=3 delims=\" %%A in (<path>) do set user=%%A

yes but just one log of many and that is only this one *date*.txtCan you post an exact tree of the files and which ones you are searching through and which ones need deleting?

EDIT: If you could also post the actual file you are looping through, we might be able to help you more.here are two users from 50.
script search it in file
bkpA_desktop.txt
bkpA_documents.txt
bkpA_cpi_documents.txt
bkpA_cpi_desktop.txt
bkpAHP_desktop.txt
bkpAHP_documents.txt

If script FOUND text disk is full "Na disku ni dovolj prostora."

Than it must delete all files *datet.txt
for example these files

14.04.2015--datet.txt
13.04.2015--datet.txt
10.04.2015--datet.txt
09.04.2015--datet.txt
08.04.2015--datet.txt


and that is for all 50 users

other log files must stay as they are in folder log.

Your question is impossible for me to understand.

which search strings and if it finds it in txt file then it delete some other txt file.

there is a file bkpXXXX.txt
in folder e:\uporabniki\mike\documents\logs\bkpXXXX.txt
and when script find words "Na disku ni dovolj prostora"
it delete files e:\uporabniki\mike\documents\logs\XXdateXX.txt

X X X and X are not really showing the relationship of the match.

I think the task is really really hard to understand from what you have written and shown. 
Actual real life examples are useful, along with the description of the task.I did that two posts above and the tree of folders is also thereCouldn't you break this into steps and solve that way?

Step 1:
Collect full users
Code: [Select]for /f "delims=" %%A in ('dir /b e:\uporabniki') do (
  findstr /m "Na disku ni dovolj prostora" e:\uporabniki\%%A\documents\logs\bkp*.txt
  if not %errorlevel%==1 (
    echo %%A >> e:\temp\userlog.txt
  )
)
Step 2:
Delete files
Code: [Select]for /f "delims=" %%D in (e:\temp\userlog.txt) do (del /q e:\uporabniki\%%D\documents\logs\*date*.txt)
Or combine them into one script and call it a day.
Code: [Select]echo off
for /f "delims=" %%A in ('dir /b e:\uporabniki') do (
  findstr /m "Na disku ni dovolj prostora" e:\uporabniki\%%A\documents\logs\bkp*.txt
  if not %errorlevel%==1 (
    echo %%A >> e:\temp\userlog.txt
  )
)
for /f "delims=" %%D in (e:\temp\userlog.txt) do (del /q e:\uporabniki\%%D\documents\logs\*date*.txt)
del /q e:\temp\userlog.txt

EDIT:

I just thought on this, it would cause issues as the errorlevel would continue to rise with each loop, therefore not giving a proper reading. You would need to set the errorlevel after each run, but we don't want to do that because errorlevels don't work that way. So we have to try something different.

Code: [Select]echo off
setlocal enabledelayedexpansion
set errorlev=%errorlevel%
for /f "delims=" %%A in ('dir /b e:\uporabniki') do (
  findstr /m "Na disku ni dovolj prostora" e:\uporabniki\%%A\documents\logs\bkp*.txt
  if !errorlevel!==!errorlev! (
    echo %%A >> e:\temp\userlog.txt
  )
  set errorlev=!errorlevel!
)
for /f "delims=" %%D in (e:\temp\userlog.txt) do (del /q e:\uporabniki\%%D\documents\logs\*date*.txt)
del /q e:\temp\userlog.txt
Give that a shot. I would change the del command to an echo del command for your first run to make sure you are deleting what you want to delete. Then you can remove the echo and run the script.
