The issue is described in this stackoverflow answer by debenham: The simple FOR command with wildcards begins iterating files before it finishes reading the entire directory.

Give it a try: @ECHO OFF &SETLOCAL disableDelayedExpansion FOR %%a IN (test\Recording*_*.mov) DO ( FOR /f "delims=_" %%b IN ("%%~a") DO SET /a mov.%%~b+=1 ) FOR /f "tokens=1*delims==" %%a IN ('SET mov.') DO IF NOT %%b==1 ( FOR /f "tokens=1*delims=." %%c IN...

to avoid this put EOF at the end of file:

Thank you, this is working:

Code: Select all

@echo off &setlocal disableDelayedExpansion
for /f %%a in ('copy /Z "%~dpf0" nul') do set "CR=%%a"
setlocal enableDelayedExpansion
for /l %%a in (1,1,10) do (
   <nul set /p "=%%a!CR!"
)

Problem is solved

I tested the following code in XP Home x86 and Windows 8 Pro x64: @echo off &setlocal disableDelayedExpansion for /f %%a in ('copy /Z "%~dpf0" nul') do set "CR=%%a" setlocal enableDelayedExpansion for /l %%a in (1,1,10) do ( <nul set /p "=!CR!%%a" ) Output in XP is:...

I do not know where to place the snippet that you posted. Always and only on the right place: @ECHO OFF &SETLOCAL (FOR /f "delims=" %%a IN ('dir /b /a-d /s /n "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\My Pictures\Pics & Vids"') DO ( FOR /f "tokens=1-3*" %%...

Btw. %~sI and %~fsI give the same result, but M$ doesn't know it: The modifiers can be combined to get compound results: %~dpI - expands %I to a drive letter and path only %~nxI - expands %I to a file name and extension only %~fsI - expands %I to a full path name with short names only %~dp$PATH:I - ...
