Endoro, thank you for your valuable input!

Just to clarify - file manager that succeeded with deletion was SpeedCommander?

Hm, yeah... LongPathTool is not free... I know we can make batch file that will be free and open...

Oh, the problem (the loop) was created using File Server Migration Wizard.

I've had an interesting problem yesterday. I somehow managed to create infinite loop that created directories so deep that Windows could not handle any more. To clarify, the result was i:\one\two\one\two\one\two ... \one\two ... There was 471 subdirectories in the end. I have solved the deletion of ...

Worked for me.

Yes, I know... I'm still learning and I have fun doing this, so I try all scenarios - for fun. And because I was playing around again, I didn't wait for Parth to specify what date he wants, here's code which takes today's date and embeds it in the filename. :p @echo off for /f "tokens=2 delims=...

parthmittal2007 should really specify what he means by date. Like Squashman mentioned - are we talking about creation date of the file or last access date or last written date or maybe even just current date? parthmittal2007 - I'm awaiting for your clarification. In the meanwhile something more to p...

It's what I know and what works. You both can post your solutions, if I may say so... I never said it was optimal, but since no one has answered so far, I did my best. As for %~t, I have tried with that, but I couldn't separate time from the date so to only use date; like I said, anyone with comment...

Haha, only now I see that all your files are *.txt, so fixed: @echo off setlocal enabledelayedexpansion for /f "tokens=*" %%F in ('dir *.txt /b /a-d') do echo %%~nF>> temp.tmp <temp.tmp ( for /f "tokens=1-3 delims=." %%A in ('forfiles /c "cmd /c echo @fdate"') do ( set ...

This works now, however it also "works" the files created by the script itself, so still some work to do... @echo off setlocal enabledelayedexpansion for /f "tokens=*" %%F in ('dir /b /a-d') do echo %%~nF>> temp.tmp <temp.tmp ( for /f "tokens=1-3 delims=." %%A in ('forf...

This is how far I got... Maybe it'll be enough to help you out. I'll try and finish it... @echo off setlocal enabledelayedexpansion for /f "tokens=*" %%F in ('dir /b /a-d') do echo %%~nF>> temp.tmp <temp.tmp ( for /f "tokens=1-3 delims=." %%A in ('forfiles /c "cmd /c echo @f...

Yes, foxidrive; this is now exactly the way I wanted it... I was going to try to modify your previous code to achieve this, but thank you very much - you've done it for me (and anyone else who might need this)!

Thankyou both very much!
I've got it all now.

My bad... I was testing on my simple-text test files named test1.avi, test2.avi, test3.avi and title1.srt, title2.srt, title3.srt; your script didn't work with those... It works with the files in my first post... So... this could not be made so that it would work in all scenarios, given that both .a...

abc0502, yes I did. I'll try to debug it.
