search for files with special (names size and modified date)

[mioo_sara]

hi there to  all  my friends
i want to  write a batch  file to  search  and find some files with special  properties(name-size-modified date)

1-  there are 2 files that should be searched with following names
java2.exe and  new install.exe

2- files should have following size=
java2.exe=====> 275.238 byte
new install.exe=====> 12.543.140 byte

3-files should be created in  following dates=
java2.exe=====> 2008-3-2
new install.exe=====>2009-4-11

now if program  find these files and if both  had all these properties now it's time to create a (txt) file name=report.txt
any help would be much appreciated

what have you tried? with 75 posts...you should be more than familiar with batch so you should already know how to start with something.

@gh0std0g74
post count doesn't matter but..

@mioo_sara
we've answered many of your questions, so you should just try to make sth if it will not work we will help, but remember that if you try scripting alone you will learn faster and save more time

[mioo_sara]

dear devcom 
i wrote somthing but it has lots of bugs 
please do me a favor and write it for me
please

[devcom]

no, you can post your code here and then i will help you

[BatchFileBasics]

yea, mioo_sara.
i feel like your taking script from all of us. putting it in this batch of yours, and taking the credit.

because so far youve only asked us to make the script, not really help your script

[mioo_sara]

okey ! ok!! sorry  for the late answering
well  i already  mentioned that i tried first and then  created a new topic but seems some fellows think that i am  a lazy  person  or looking for a credit !!

well as you  can  see below there is  a script that is  always looking for an(exe) file and if found it create a report.txt file

@echo off
setLocal EnableDelayedExpansion

for /f "tokens=* delims= " %%a in ('dir/b java2.exe') do (
if %%~Za equ 275238 echo>report.txt
)

now question1=
above code just search  java2.exe how can  i add new install.exe or more files to  be searched(attend to it's size also)?

question 2=
as you  can  see in my post # 1 search  should have 3 parameters (file name file size and file modified date)
=========================================

above script solved file size and now remaind (file name and file modified date)
maybe  above script is that good to  do even  file's name .. what's your idea?
but what about file modified date?
i searched web  and found lots of example but none of them  were helpful . they  were all  looking for something  to  find  some files older than  specified date or newer but i just need to  compare  my own  dates with  file's date to  see if they  are real

do you  have any idea?
==========================================
thanks and apologize for any  inconvenience that occured

[gh0std0g74]

you already know how to use dir , correct??
so let me ask you, if you can do dir *.txt, do you think you can specify 2 files, ie

Code: [Select]

dir file1 file2?

take your time to go through the links here and learn some batch.

[mioo_sara]

dear gh0std0g74
your link  did not help me . please read my  first post carefully . its too  hard for me to  find a way  to  check  all  3 properties
i need help not spam !!

[devcom]

try get use of this:

Code: [Select]

for /f "tokens=*" %%A in ('dir /b /A-D *.exe') do (
echo %%A %%~zA %%~tA
)

[mioo_sara]

thanks dear Devcom 
well  your codes are now reporting file size and date of modification of all files (thanks again)
but problem  is how to  mix your codes with  mine?
you  can  see  in my last post  that java2.exe is being checked (compared to  my values) and if size is ok  report.txt is created
question=
i want to  make a kind of CHECKSUM  or something like that
how is it possible to both file's size and file's date get checked(compare to  my values) and if everything was ok(size and date) now create report.txt?

attention= in  my  first post i added values for  size and date
attention2=it is possible that files has been  faked so  i need to program use my values for comparison

i tried it more than 50 times!!
thanks

And yet all we have on this end is 5 lines that you've cobbled together from other peoples code.

IF you would show the entire batch file when you post your issue you will be FAR more likely to get valid responses.

Additionally I might add that ghostdogs post was 100% relevant. the code as you had it was:

Code: [Select]

dir/b java2.exe
And you wanted to find out how to find other files other then java2.exe. He was merely explaining that, if you know how to use dir, you can simply modify that portion of your batch, so that the output from dir includes more files.

Devcom built further upon this concept by using additional switches of dir to exclude any directories from the output listing. Although I must question the educational value of code without an explanation...


Regarding your query of Checksums, there are a number of command-line programs that can return the checksum of a given file. One could run the checksum utility on the file, assemble a string, such as "filename=checksum", search a predesignated file for the filename,  if found but the checksum isn't equal, display your attention 2 string, otherwise the check suceeded. If filename= isn't found then write it to the file, since no such file has been checksummed yet.


As a final note I'd like to add, as others have done before, that this is NOT "rentacoder" or some similarly themed website, where visitors enter their requirements and recieve results in the form of code. Giving you code helps you in the short term but only hinders you in the long term, as you continue to return here with simple batch program requirements that you for some reason refuse to learn on your own.

We'll help you learn new switches, new ways of doing things, etc, direct you about which other languages might do the job better (ghostdog excels at this  ), but we're not about to just give you the code without you learning a *censored* thing about how it works, or even the basic syntax that makes up the command itself.

real programs aren't pasted together from bits of other peoples code. their sculpted. Or some other equally artistic metaphor.

ghostdog where are you ? come on and spray some oil on the fire !!!! 

Regarding your query of Checksums, there are a number of command-line programs that can return the checksum of a given file

it's not fair dear BC_Programmer
you'd better put an  example or some kind of clue !! i'm killing myself here and you  hide the answer?!!!!

this is NOT "rentacoder" or some similarly themed website

well  guess what..  you  have 6074 post and me 80... next year this time  i will  be 8000 and you 7000 !!!  i know that your post are all useful  but mine also  are not so  bad they  are and will  be some kind of treasure for those of us who  are not familiar very  much  with  programing . but i can  ensure you   i am  not just a consumer. time will  proof it to  you

[devcom]

well  guess what..  you  have 6074 post and me 80... next year this time  i will  be 8000 and you 7000 !!! 

that will be about 1000 your questions !! ...
ok... how can i remove my account ? 

Code: [Select]

@echo off
setLocal EnableDelayedExpansion

for /f "tokens=* delims= " %%a in ('dir/b java2.exe') do (
if %%~Za equ 275238 echo>report.txt
)
you used this code, there is if command so i guess you know how to compare your values with those you will get using my script
then you used echo>report.txt which means you know how to make log of script



i see no problems for you to make that work

Although I must question the educational value of code without an explanation...

your only further proving my point. what you actually want is the full source code to do exactly what you want. I can only infer that because you've ALREADY been given examples and if what I said isn't a clue I don't know what is.

There is a program called "Fastsum" that can perform a MD5 checksum on files, via the commandline.

http://www.fastsum.com/download.php

"FastSum Command Line Edition executable setup" is what your after. This will get you a step closer to your goal.

How so? right now all I see, in general, is basically "givez me the codez to do dis.   Plz"

Oh, OK. how many of those are there!
