Display filename and length in batch file

[valerie2001]

The script will dispaly the filename. I need to display the length as well eg. filename is abc.txt, the length is 6
the script as below:

@echo off
for %%a in (C:\*.*txt) do (
set fname=%%a
echo %fname%
)

C:\>cat  filelen.bat

Code:

@echo off
for /f  "delims==" %%i in ('dir /b *.txt')  do (
echo %%i
echo %%i  | wc -c

)


C:\>filelen.bat
Output:

a-hire.txt
      13
bat.txt
      10
caavsetupLog.txt
      19
caisslog.txt
      15
myFILE.txt
      13
mymoney.txt
      14
ReadMe.txt
      13
savenow.txt
      14
savestr.txt
      14
teststr.txt
      14
tokens.txt
      13
unix.txt
      11
ver.txt

you can use vbscript

Code:

Set objFS = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
strFolder = "c:\test"
Set objFolder = objFS.GetFolder(strFolder)
For Each strFile In objFolder.Files
WScript.Echo strFile.Name,Len(strFile.Name)
Next

save the above as myscript.vbs and on command prompt

Code:

c:\test> cscript /nologo myscript.vbs

output

Code:

C:\test>cscript /nologo test.vbs
11 MickeyMouse Road.doc 23
11 MickeyMouse Road.pdf 23
a-hire-1-0601-txt 17
a-hire-2-0601-txt 17
a1.csv 6
a2.csv 6

alternative solution, in Python (for Windows)

Code:

import os
path=os.path.join("c:\\","test")
os.chdir(path)
for files in os.listdir("."):
    print files,len(files)

save the code as myscript.py and on command prompt

Code:

c:\test> python myscript.py

Ghost,

Why does wc -c  show 9 characters when there are only six?

C:\>cat  unix.txt
666666

C:\>cat  unix.txt  | wc -c
       9

C:\>

carriage return and linefeed,  and the EOF mark, probably.

Ghost,

C:\>cat  unix.txt
666666

C:\>cat  unix.txt  | wc -c
       9

C:\>

there are some unknown characters i believe. please check your unix.txt again. Most probably there are \r\n or somethign . you can use od to check what's inside your file

Code:

c:\test> od -c file.txt

here's mine

Code:

C:\test>more file.txt
666666

C:\test>cat file.txt | wc -c  <-------------------- No need to use cat .. see wc example below
6

C:\test>wc -c < file.txt
6

there are no other characters after the last "6"

C:\>cat   ghost.bat

Code:

@echo off
echo 11 MickeyMouse Road.doc | wc -c
echo 11 MickeyMouse Road.pdf | Wc -c
echo a-hire-1-0601-tx  | wc -c
echo a-hire-2-0601-txt | wc -c
echo a1.csv | wc -c
echo wcup a2.csv | wc -l

Output:

C:\>ghost.bat
     

25
      25
      19
      19
       8

i will show you an example

Code:

C:\test>echo 11 MickeyMouse Road.doc | wc -c
26

C:\test>echo 11 MickeyMouse Road.doc | od -c
0000000   1   1       M   i   c   k   e   y   M   o   u   s   e       R
0000020   o   a   d   .   d   o   c      \r  \n
0000032

after ".doc" there is a space. is counted as 1. also , the echo command gives you \r\n at the back. that's why whenever you use echo like this

Code:

C:\test>echo test
test
          <---- extra blank
C:\test>

if you add them up, its 26 characters. cmd.exe's echo just treat everything after as 1 character, including quotes like "

Since you already have GNU tools,  you can use printf instead of cmd.exe's echo..

Code:

C:\test>printf "11 MickeyMouse Road.doc" | wc -c
23

this is correct one.

Ghost,

Hey,  you are good.  Do you work for Microsoft or AT&T?  I like these Unix solutions better than than the VBS solution.  I hope the lady who started this thread is still reading.  Thanks for the effort over and above . . .

C:\test>more file.txt
666666

C:\test>cat file.txt | wc -c  <-------------------- No need to use cat .. see wc example below
6

C:\test>wc -c < file.txt
6

no. i am "self employed" and a hobbyist now. previous job as win/*nix administrator.

no problem. Its good that most of these *nix tools are ported to windows to complement what batch lacks.
