I am trying to write a batch file that takes a backup using temporary folders and a "sub-batch" file that needs to be deleted once all backups are completed.
The method I'm trying to use copies a batch file to the main directory, opens multiple instances of this batch which create "temp" folders, then they remove the temp folder once they are done their business.
I want to implement a command at the end of the sub-batch that checks if any folders with the word "temp" exist in the directory, then delete the sub-batch if none exist.
I have tried many iterations, but this is what I kind of ended at before asking this question:
rd %TempFolder% /S /Q
cd C:\BackupDirectory
if exist C:\BackupDirectory\*_Temp_*\ goto :unconnect
del subBatch.bat
:unconnect
I realize that this won't work, but I can't find a good way to find the string "temp" in the sub-directory name.
Any help is appreciated.

So I was trying to delete all my files inside a folder using node.
I came across 2 methods .
Method 1
Delete the folder using rmkdir. But if I plan on adding the images on the same folder then I use mkdir and creates the same folder again and appends the files to it.
Example: I have an Add Files and Delete ALL button. When I click deleteAll , the folder gets deleted. And when I click add then the folder gets created and the file gets added to that folder
Method 2
Using readdir , I loop through the files and stores in an array and then delete only the files instead of the folder.
Which is the best way to do it ? If its not among these then please advice me a better solution.
The rm function of ShellJS will do the trick. It works as a one-liner, and it works cross-platform, and is well tested and documented. It even supports recursive deletes.
Basically, something such as:
const { rm } = require('shelljs');
rm('-rf', '/tmp/*');
(Sample code taken from ShellJS' documentation.)
I have a process that periodically gets files from a server and copy them with SFTP to a local directory. It should not overwrite the file if it already exists. I know with something like Winston I can automatically rotate the log file when it fills up, but in this case I need a similar functionality to rotate files if they already exist.
An example:
The routine copies a remote file called testfile.txt to a local directory. The next time it's run the same remote file is found and copied. But now I want to rename the first testfile.txt to testfile.txt.0 so it's not overwritten. And so on - after a while I'd have a directory of files with the name testfile.txt.N and the most recent testfile.txt.
What you can do is you can append date and time on the file name that gives every filename a unique name and also helps you archive it.
For example you text.txt can be either 20170202_181921_test.txt or test_20170202_181921.txt
You can use a JavaScript Date Object to get date and time.
P.S show your code of downloading files so that I can add more to that.
if FileCopy(ExpandConstant('{tmp}\SPECTRUMJOBS_Data.MDF'),
ExpandConstant('C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL11.LOGISTICS\MSSQL\DATA\SPECTRUMJOBS_Data.MDF'),
False) then
I tried the above one but I am not able to copy because there is no folder named DATA in the location.
so please help me to copy the DATA folder and the file
To force creation of directories you can use (text is from InnoSetup help):
Prototype:
function ForceDirectories(Dir: string): Boolean;
Description:
Creates all the directories along the specified directory
path all at once. If the first directories in the path do exist, but
the latter ones don't, ForceDirectories creates just the ones that
don't exist. Returns True if successful, False otherwise.
InnoSetup documentation is at ishelp
You answered yourself. If there is no folder DATA in folder MSSQL, the folder must be created first.
And... if there is no folder MSSQL in folder MSSQL11.LOGISTICS, that folder must be created first.
And so on...
Now read the above sentences in reverse order, and you're done.
I'm trying to cut a folder. I've tried directoy.move(string source,string dest) & directoryinfo.moveto(dest) but in both case an exception was thrown "Source and destination path must have identical roots. Move will not work across volume".
You cannot move files and folders across different volumes with Directory.Move. You have to create the directory at the destination, recursively copy the files across then, on success, delete the files at the source or, as Tim suggested in the comments below, recursively create the directory structure then move the files across with File.Move.
I have been using Node.JS file system module for performing various file related operations. I have a need to verify the file name if exists in a directory and if exists i would need to keep a suffix at the end of the file. Typically how windows does with duplicate file names..
if TestFile.txt already exists and another file with same names comes in during processing the new file should be renamed as TestFile (1).txt and next file with same name should be renamed as TestFile (2).txt.
What could be the best way to achieve this. Do i have to use a temporary array to keep all file names and traverse through for each? This is a multi threaded environment and there could be 50,000+ documents coming for processing.
Thanks a ton.
