batch file to find all the .exe ,mp3,msi files and list the path such file

[Aditi gupta]

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.

[Aditi gupta]

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.

[foxidrive]

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.

Code: [Select]

@echo off
for %%a in (c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x y z) 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:\windows\" >>"%userprofile%\desktop\results.txt"

)
pause

now want to store the output in shared location?

hostname should be the name of the file

 \\<ip address>\foldername\hostname.txt

 \\<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.

[Aditi gupta]

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.

[foxidrive]

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?

[Aditi gupta]

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:\" (

)
echo "Scanning Completed!!" >> "%host%.txt"
  "%host%.txt" >> net use N: \\xx.xx.xx.xx\folder\
