I'm trying to extract the name of the file that is on loop as a string. to organize many software outputs in different folders, named by the current process file.
So far i got this, but i can't get the string on the variable:
set DirecoryT=%%G
FOR /R D:\LiDAR_Data\LiDAR_DATA_EBA\ %%G in (*.laz) do (
echo Directory %DirecoryT%
set File=%DirecoryT:~29,9%
echo Processing file %File%
pause
)
pause
Have a go at this:
#echo off
for /R "D:\LiDAR_Data\LiDAR_DATA_EBA\" %%G in (*.laz) do (
echo File Extension only: "%%~xG"
echo FileName with Extension: "%%~nxG"
echo FileName without Extension: "%%~nG"
echo Full path and name: "%%G"
echo Directory to file only: "%%~pG"
echo Drive and directory is: "%%~dpG"
)
pause
Notice how we get the various parts of the string. For more on variable handling, simply run for /? from command line and read the help.
So a little closer to what you actually want, based on your attempt.
#echo off
for /R "D:\LiDAR_Data\LiDAR_DATA_EBA\" %%G in (*.laz) do (
echo FileName "%%~nxG"
echo Directory "%%~dpG"
echo Processing file "%%~nxG"
)
pause
EDIT
As per your last comment to see only the last folder where the file exists:
#echo off
for /R "D:\LiDAR_Data\LiDAR_DATA_EBA\" %%G in (*.laz) do (
echo FileName "%%~nxG"
echo Directory "%%~dpG"
echo Processing file "%%~nxG"
for %%i in ("%%~dpG\.") do echo Last Folder "%%~nxi"
)
pause
This should do the trick
for %%a in ("%pathToFile%") do set "newvariable=%%~na"

The following script search thru a folder and its sub-folders and then compares each file it gets to files in the 2nd folder. If found it echo's a message to say that the file was found.
My question is how do I enhance this script to search the 2nd folder and its sub-folders for the file found in 1st dir? I only care about the file-name with extension (I do not care in which folder/sub-folder it was found, just that a duplicate file is present and causing compiler errors)
I thought one of the ways would be to output all file names to a file and then take the file as input in 2nd part and loop thru the 2nd folder, but I am sure there must be a cleaner way.

Thank you for putting me on the correct track :-) Code now works

I want to write a batch file which used the find command to find a string in the parent directory and all sub directories, and prints that output to a text file, then opens the text file when done. My code so far looks like this:
#echo off
set /p "var1= Enter the String to Find: "
for /F "delims=" %a in ('dir /B /S *.txt') do #(find /i "%var1" "%a" 1>nul 2>&1 && find /i "%var1" "%a") >> result.txt
start result.txt
But this is currently not even writing anything to result.txt, even though I am sure that where I am searching the string appears in multiple .txt files. I know it must be something syntax-wise but I can't seem to figure it out.
You have a few mistakes in your script:
There should not be a space after the equals sign of a set command. Specifically, remove the space after set /p "var1=.
To expand variables, you have to put a percent sign before and after the variable name, so instead of %var use %var%.
Not directly related to your problem, but why are you invoking find twice?
I've also made use of a temporary file, so that result.txt won't be searched by find.
Note that for if you're running the batch script from a file, You need to use double percent signs when you use loop variables, for example: %%a
Anyway, here's the fixed script, hopefully doing what you intended to do:
#echo off
set RESULT_FILE="result.txt"
set /p "var1=Enter the String to Find: "
pushd %~p0
type NUL > %RESULT_FILE%.tmp
for /f "delims=" %%a in ('dir /B /S *.txt') do (
for /f "tokens=3 delims=:" %%c in ('find /i /c "%var1%" "%%a"') do (
for /f "tokens=*" %%f in ('find /i "%var1%" "%%a"') do if %%c neq 0 echo %%f
)
) >> "%RESULT_FILE%".tmp
move %RESULT_FILE%.tmp %RESULT_FILE% >nul 2>&1
:: Open the file
"%RESULT_FILE%"
popd
just findstr abc *
in contrast, findstr /v will print all without abc
I am trying to search the Registry for key values using the following Batch file, but there are inconsistencies with errorlevel returned:

echo Security Template logfile for %COMPUTERNAME% > %LOGFILE%
echo -- >> %LOGFILE%
for /f "delims=*" %%i in ('time /t') do set TIME=%%i
echo Date run: %DATE% >> %LOGFILE%
echo Time run: %TIME% >> %LOGFILE%
echo -- >> %LOGFILE%
echo Windows_7_STIG_V1R9 27 Jul 2012 >> %LOGFILE%
echo =============================================================================================== >> %LOGFILE%
FOR /F "tokens=1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 delims= " %%F IN (WINDOWS_7_V1R9.txt) DO (
reg query "%%F" /v "%%H" /t "%%I" | Find "%%J"
IF not ERRORLEVEL 1 (
echo %%G Compliant
echo %%G %%K Compliant %%M>> %LOGFILE%
echo -- >> %LOGFILE%
) ELSE (

for /f "delims=*" %%i in ('time /t') do set TIME=%%i
echo -- >> %LOGFILE%
echo ISPA-STIG for %COMPUTERNAME% completed at: %TIME% >> %LOGFILE%
pause
exit
The text file is set up as follows:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System V-1075 ShutdownWithoutLogon REG_DWORD 0x1 ECSC-1 SV-25111r1_rule Display Shutdown Button
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
1) it is not possible to search registry with batch
2) you should never do automated searches with registry as this can inturupt other things
and it may also delete un specified keys
3)the only way to navigate the registry automatically is with a .reg file
sorry if this seemed mean at all i just like to use numbers.
hope that this helps you!
You are not able to use batch for searching registry so there is no way to answer your question. Sorry :) windows just don't allow it f
I have this for loop to get a list of directory names:
for /d %%g in (%windir%\Assembly\gac_msil\*policy*A.D*) do (
echo %%g
)
Output:
C:\WINDOWS\Assembly\gac_msil\policy.5.0.A.D
C:\WINDOWS\Assembly\gac_msil\policy.5.0.A.D.O
C:\WINDOWS\Assembly\gac_msil\policy.5.20.A.D.O
C:\WINDOWS\Assembly\gac_msil\policy.5.25.A.D.O
C:\WINDOWS\Assembly\gac_msil\policy.5.35.A.D.O
C:\WINDOWS\Assembly\gac_msil\policy.5.55.A.D.O
C:\WINDOWS\Assembly\gac_msil\policy.5.60.A.D.O
C:\WINDOWS\Assembly\gac_msil\policy.5.70.A.D.O
C:\WINDOWS\Assembly\gac_msil\policy.6.0.A.D.O
I want to get the folder names starting with "policy" but echo %%g:~29 doesn't work.
I also tried to set x=%%g and then echo %x:~29% and still doesn't work.
So, how do I get substring from token in for loop?
Of course that set x=%%g and a substring extraction of x should work, but be aware that if the substring is taken inside a FOR loop, it must be done with ! instead of % (Delayed Expansion):
setlocal EnableDelayedExpansion
for /d %%g in (%windir%\Assembly\gac_msil\*policy*A.D*) do (
set x=%%g
echo !x:~29!
)
On the other hand, if you want to know "How to get the last part (name and extension) of a token in for loop", the answer is: use the ~Name and ~eXtension modifiers in %%g replaceable parameter:
for /d %%g in (%windir%\Assembly\gac_msil\*policy*A.D*) do (
echo %%~NXg
)
I recently had a similar question, and I wanted to compile here the 3 working solutions:
Use EnableDelayedExpansion in your batch file, as in the accepted answer
#echo off
setlocal EnableDelayedExpansion
for /d %%g in (%windir%\Assembly\gac_msil\*) do (
set x=%%g
echo !x:~29!
)
Use for /f to process the output of a dir command
for /f "tokens=*" %%g in ('dir /ad /b %windir%\Assembly\gac_msil\*') do #echo %%g
And finally, the optimal solution in this case, using enhanced variable substitution. See the end of the help at for /? for more information on this syntax.
for /d %%g in (%windir%\Assembly\gac_msil\*) do #echo %%~nxg
A simple
dir /B %windir%\Assembly\gac_msil\*policy*A.D*
should do the trick. If you want to loop over it:
for /f %%g in ('dir /B %windir%\Assembly\gac_msil\*policy*A.D*') do (
echo %%g
)
Suppose I wanted to echo every executable inside the %programfiles% folder
cd %programfiles%
for /r . %i in (*.exe) do echo "%~i"
but it yields
c:\program files\program1\program1.exe
c:\program files\program2\program2.exe
and I want
program1\program1.exe
program2\program2.exe
How to remove those prefixes?
You could use the string replace function of batch
pushd %programfiles%
set "prefix=%programfiles%"
setlocal DisableDelayedExpansion
for /r . %i in (*.exe) do (
set "progPath=%~i"
setlocal EnableDelayedExpansion
set "progPath=!progPath:%prefix%=!"
echo !progPath!
endlocal
)
popd
Put this in a batch file and run, it should do the job.
#echo off
setlocal ENABLEDELAYEDEXPANSION
cd %programfiles%
for /r . %%i in (*.exe) do (
set pth=%%~fi
set val=!pth:%cd%\=!
echo !val!
)
This answer is based on jebs
This one is if your batch file is not on the same drive as that you're working on so a different approach needs to be taken.
