thanks.

I only wanted to remove the very last code in the text file.
i.e remove any blank line at the end of the file.

quite simply is it possible and how am i able to remove a cr/lf code from a text file if it's the last entry in the text file?

All good now.

Dave your a star - thanks again

might have to read that a few times to begin to understand it.

One small thing after running the script. It does manage to extract all the files and folders into a list , but they all end up in the notexists.txt file and I know for sure some do exist.

I appreciate very much the help.

thanks I will try this out tomorrow and....yes I am lost at what I am looking at and impressed at the same time.

someone did mention doing this in pearl - but it's not something I know. I thought I might understand something, but....

I need to search through a text file and output into a new file anything starting with either E:\ or M:\ UPTO ending either a # sign or a space. Example current file: dsffdfe:\abc\cde rffrv m:\abc\efd# dfe:\abc\cde rffrv m:\abc\efd#m:\abc\ggg.lst # e:\abc\hhh Output should be: e:\abc\cde m:\abc\efd ...

looking good.

thanks.

thanks for the above. When I run it displays no output (errors) and creates no files. I am running on Windows Server 2003 SP2 - does that make a difference on where you are getting the registry info or anything else ? Additional (summary) note in case of confusion: 1.Search through all files in fold...

Hi, here's another strange & difficult one I need help on please. Search through all files in specific folder. create a new file (in the same place) for each of those files using the following rule: search for first entry in each file that contains the current date, in the form 2011-03-11. copy ...

aGerman appears to have cracked it. !k revised version works to a certain degree, but in the example of file: c:\ANY_DIR\JOEY\run\ABCD it was going to c:\newfolder\ANY_DIR_JOEY_ABCD (i.e the 2 directory levels were concatenating when I really just wanted the 1 level below to be part of the new file ...

for some strange reason it's not working at all now ? and it seems to take a lot longer to run. Also I can't see where it specifically only searches in directories: c:\any_dir*\*\run\ (or c:\any_dir*\run\ ) for the file ABCD. It sounds like it's searching the whole of the c drive and something is no...

thanks, you make it look simple - like most things when you know how ! btw, I did mean the first example. It works to a certain point, but..... In my third example it is not picking/copying the file i,.e in the the case file c:\ANY_DIR\JOEY\run\ABCD to go to c:\newfolder\JOEY_ABCD It works for files...

I have googled for ths left and right and centre and cannot find anything. Basically I need a script to search for the file ABCD which exists in various sub folders under folder c:\ANY_DIR*\run\ (and there are various ones).
