Batch files

[Anand]

how to locate a file using batch files.

eg:

c:\test\test1.txt
c:\test\test2.txt

i can get the file names and count using the dos command dir c:\test\test*.txt

But how can i get the same using the batch file.

Output:
I need the file names and number of the files present in a given folder

With Thanks and Regards,
Anand

Did you try typing that DIR command into your batch file?


@echo off
DIR c:\test\test1.txt
DIR c:\test\test2.txt

This will list the test1.txt and the test2.txt file

Check http://www.dx21.com/SCRIPTING/MSDOS/INDEX.ASP

They've got a pretty good list of commands in dos that you can probably piece together to do what you need.

Brainiac, the oldest thread you've dragged back from the dead so far! What are you playing at???

relax contrex, why get so agitated. if the next guy (and the next, and the next ) comes in and revive threads, are you going to do this all the time.? i think you have more important things to do, like helping solve problems, than be bothered with such minor things. so laugh it off, and enjoy a nice day.

I was bored, and I noticed all these unfamiliar threads...
