 Posted: Sat Jul 28, 2007 8:58 am Post subject: batch help: selectively deleting files |
 |
|
Hey all,
Using a batch file, I need to delete all files > 100 KB from a given folder (./logs).
Unfortunately, I can't use AHK for this.
I've had to realize that my batch skills have become very rusty, as I can't seem to create a working script from the snippets of code I've collected from the interwebs:
| Code: | REM check filesize
for %%F in (%currentFile%) do set fileSize=%%~zF
if %fileSize% geq 200000 goto delFile
REM delete all files in folder
dir /b E:\*.exe > %log%
For /F %%i in (%log%) do del %%i
rem Del %log%
rem Set log= |
I guess the main problem is sharing the current filename between the two routines.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

You can pass parameters using Call; they are handled in the same way as input params in AHK.. | Code: | @Echo Off
for %%F in ("*.*") do call :LoopFiles %%~zF %%F
echo. Done parsing through folder..
pause
Goto end
:LoopFiles
set A_LoopFileSize=%1%
set A_LoopFileName=%2%
echo. %A_LoopFileName% = %A_LoopFileSize%
if %A_LoopFileSize% geq 100000 Goto delFile
Goto end
:delFile
echo. !!!! delete file %A_LoopFileName% !!!!
echo.
::del %A_LoopFileName%
:End

You can obviously remove all the fluff.. I just left it in to help explain... 
EDIT: I forgot to mention; you should enclose your filename in "" if it may contain spaces.. | Code: | | for %%F in ("*.*") do call :LoopFiles %%~zF "%%F" |

Thank you very much, Daniel!
Here's the complete script now: | Code: | @Echo Off
echo ***** Deleting obsolete log files. *****
cd logs
for %%F in ("*.*") do call :loopFiles %%~zF "%%F"
cd..
echo ***** Done deleting log files. *****
echo.
::pause
goto launch
goto end
:launch
echo ***** Launching application. *****
echo.
start foo.exe -bar
goto end
:loopFiles
set A_LoopFileSize=%1%
set A_LoopFileName=%2%
::echo current file: %A_LoopFileName% (%A_LoopFileSize%)
if %A_LoopFileSize% leq 1024 goto delFile
if %A_LoopFileSize% geq 102400 goto delFile
goto end
:delFile
::echo.
echo deleting file: %A_LoopFileName%
::echo.
del %A_LoopFileName%
goto end
:end |
(As for the two IFs in loopFiles, it seems there is no ELSE in batch... )
