Hi,
can someone pls help me for creating a batch file which will search all the drives on my system except C drive for all the .exe, mp3, msi extension , and will give me the path of each such file in to a notepad file or n xml file.
suppose it first enter in D drive, then it will search for *.exe file, *.mp3 file.
Found one file songs.mp3 , once fund, then it will display the complete path of tha songs.mp3 file.
Same thing should be done for each such file found.
Then it will move to E drive and will repeat the same procedure of searching .exe file, .mp3 files etc.
please help in this regard.
urgent.
thanks in advance

thanks , for the help.
this works for me.
Is it possible to store this on a shared location?
i think, we just need to change the output path with shared location.?

Yes, that will work if you have write permission to the location.
-
is it possible that first we, discover the Os architechture , then logcal disk , and accordingly we use if and else statements .
Input for if , else statements would be from 1. wmic os get osarchitechture
then
2.wmic logicaldisk get name.

Sounds like a completely different task then your original question.
-
its not different , just we need to implememnt it using if , else.
Suppose now i want to scan my C drive also and want to leave the Program files and windows folder.
rest all provide me the same output.
leaving Program fils and windows in C drive should scan rest of the C drive and other drives completely for .exe, .msi , .mp3 extensions.
C:--- leave program files and windows
D:-- full
E:- full

we must be from different planets as I can not figure out how this new question has anything to do with the original.

Squashman, it sounds to me like a class assignment when certain commands must be used.
Fortunately this lazy man's approach will also work to solve the question.

hostname should be the name of the file
\\<ip address>\foldername\hostname.txt

Well did you at least attempt to substitute that output path with the one that is already in the code.
-
ofcourse yes, but u should understand that is not simply changing the output path.
This is network share and accessing a ip and shared location which has write permission to everyone.

If everyone has access then it is simply a matter of changing the output path - just use the full path >>"\\server\share\file.log"
if you tried it and it didn't work, then what was the error message?
-
its not giving any error, but the file is not created at the output path.

@echo off
set host=%COMPUTERNAME%
echo %host%
for %%a in (c d e f g h i) do if exist "%%a:\" (
dir /b /s /a-d "%%a:\*.exe" "%%a:\*.mp3" "%%a:\*.msi" |find /v /i "c:\program files\" |find /v /i "c:\programdata\"|find /v /i "c:\windows\" >>"%host%.txt"
)
echo "Scanning Completed!!" >> "%host%.txt"
"%host%.txt" >> net use N: \\xx.xx.xx.xx\folder\
-
this is again creating the file on my desktop
just use the full path >>"\\server\share\file.log"
-
Try this after changing the ip address/server and folder.
@echo off
set "host=\\xx.xx.xx.xx\folder\%COMPUTERNAME%.txt"
echo %host%

echo "Scanning Completed!!" >> "%host%"

awsome, thanks a lot foxidrive.
you are genius.

Squashman - hand holding, right?
-
"%host%.txt" >> net use N: \\xx.xx.xx.xx\folder\
This is not valid syntax and please use Bulletin Board Code tags when posting code.
In your original questions it sounded like you wanted to redirect the output from the code directly to the network share. Now it looks like you want to copy a file to the network share. If you want to copy the file to the network share then use the COPY or XCOPY commands. I believe both of them support UNC paths.

Yes. It is Rocket Surgery.
