Solve : HELP(ADV): Batch file - rename file to directory name+++? |
|
Answer» I want to specify a folder in the batch file (ie. C:\Users\intellilogic\Documents\TopFolder) and have it take all the files and subdirectories in it and rename the files, appending there parent directories to the name and movie them to the root folder specified. I want to do this unlimitedly deep, but only renamed the files to its parent and then moving them all the way to the root. Ideally, I would like to avoid duplicate file names, so if duplicate files come about, appending a number to them would work well. first i would like to say that bill is making an effort at a joke, we don't charge at all!. teach him how to fish, not fish for him.Peace.Once I have the file, i will look at the code and learn it that way, it's like watching Jesus fish... =-0Why not break the job into smaller taks? Do you have plenty of disk space? First GENERAL rule is not to put stuff into the root. Why do you want us to bend this rule? How about a directory called D:\BOGUSROOT Quote from: billrich on October 01, 2009, 07:52:41 AM How did Jesus feed the mulitude? Jesus fed the people fish. Jesus did not teach them to fish.can you ask Jesus, whoever he is, to GIVE you a fish now? tell him to drop the fish from the SKY.. if you can do that, i will treat you to a cup of coffee. Bye@bill, stop babbling nonsense. Quote from: Geek-9pm on October 01, 2009, 12:12:00 PM Why not break the job into smaller taks? Sorry - I meant the root from which you start from, IE the top folder.OK you can use this as a starting PLACE. Code: [Select]@ECHO OFF CLS REM THIS WILL SCAN THE CURRENT FOLDER AND RETURN SUB-FOLDERS TO A TEXT FILE CD %CD% DIR /b /s /ad>"%TEMP%\DIRTEST.TXT" REM USE DIRTEST.TXT IN A FOR LOOP FOR /f "delims==" %%A in (C:\DOCUME~1\%USERNAME%\LOCALS~1\Temp\DIRTEST.TXT) DO SET A=%%A& CALL :DIR %%A CLS IF EXIST "%TEMP%\DIRTEST.TXT" DEL "%TEMP%\DIRTEST.TXT" IF EXIST "%TEMP%\DIRFILE.TXT" DEL "%TEMP%\DIRFILE.TXT" ECHO JOB COMPLETE..... Pause GOTO END :DIR REM THIS WILL SCAN THE CURRENT FOLDER AND RETURN FILES TO A TEXT FILE CD\ CD "%A%" DIR /b /a-d>"%TEMP%\DIRFILE.TXT" REM USE DIRTEST.TXT IN A FOR LOOP FOR /f "delims==" %%A in (C:\DOCUME~1\%USERNAME%\LOCALS~1\Temp\DIRFILE.TXT) DO SET FILE=%%A& CALL :DIRFILE %%A :DIRFILE ECHO %FILE% PAUSE :END Please let me know if this dose not work for you.This looks very helpful, I will play with it - I think I will start at the top w/ IF EXIST "%TEMP%\DIRTEST.TXT" DEL "%TEMP%\DIRTEST.TXT" JIC =] Can I take a stab at this using a SCRIPTING approach ? Comments are inserted so you can see what the script is doing line by line. Code: [Select]############################################## # Script: tf.txt (Not sure what to call it) ############################################## # Usage: script tf.txt root("C:\Users\intellilogic\Documents\TopFolder") ############################################## # Script moves all files in the root folder (and its sub and sub-sub folders) # to the root folder with the parent folder name prepended to file name. # # For example, if root is "C:\Users\intellilogic\Documents\TopFolder", # # the file C:\Users\intellilogic\Documents\TopFolder\Folder1\File1.bla # will be moved to # C:\Users\intellilogic\Documents\TopFolder\Folder1-File1.bla. # # File C:\Users\intellilogic\Documents\TopFolder\Folder3\SubFolder1\File1.bla # will be moved to # C:\Users\intellilogic\Documents\TopFolder\SubFolder1-File1.bla. ############################################## # Input argument. var str root # This value is passed to the script. # If not assigned, current folder will be used. # Go to root folder. cd $root # Collect a list of all flat files. var str list ; lf -rng "*" "." ($ftype=="f") > $list # Loop thru files. while ($list <> "") do # Get the next file. var str file ; lex "1" $list > $file # $file has the full path. Get just the file name. It is after the last /. # Preserver value in $file. We will need it in move command later. var str name ; stex -p "^/^l[" $file > $name # Get the parent folder of the file. It is between the last and # secondlast /. var str parent # Get the portion of $file upto the last /. stex -p "]^/^l" $file > $parent # $parent now has full path of parent folder. # Get just the folder name. That's after the last /. stex "^/^l[" $parent > $parent # The new file name is now $parent-$name. # We want to move the file to $root/$parent-$name. system -s "move /Y" ("\""+$file+"\"") ("\""+$root+"/"+$parent+"-"+$name+"\"") done Script is in biterscripting ( http://www.biterscripting.com ) . But you should translate it to any scripting language of your choice or batch commands. I have added comments for that. (The script just looks bigger because of all the comments and beautification.) |
