Wonderful solution, Dave. I'll try it out asap. Thank you!

Excellent! Thank you!

Hello batchers! I'm trying to split a path string, and I've run into an issue where using %var% as a token value works as expected, but !var! does not: @echo off setlocal enableextensions setlocal enabledelayedexpansion set "file=E:\temp\TEST\123458--text_text1\filename.mp4" set tokenNum=4...

It works for the first fixed drive (C:) but doesn't make it to the second fixed drive (E:) on my workstation. I've also learned that while dirms.exe is fast and thorough, it doesn't always exit gracefully. I have replaced it with a call to XP-native file defrag.exe.

Thanks!

Looks great! I knew it would be simple like that. I'll try it out when I get to the office in the morning. Thanks!

Thanks! We're getting closer. I'm having trouble getting that to work. Rehearsing some commands before committing to batch tells me that something about the for/if statement is amiss. Hint: fsutil... generates C:\ and dirms.exe only needs C. Also, the blank space before "Fixed Drive" may b...

I'm working on a batch that can get the drive letters and drive types via fsutil fsinfo ... but I'm stuck with the if logic that follows. If the drive type is fixed, I'd like to run a defrag utility called dirms.exe. Once this is solved, I'd have one batch file that can run as a scheduled task on ev...

You just need another batch file with something like this:



It should hang around for a few seconds and then close.

Done. Works nicely. Thanks everyone!

Maybe something like this?



The pause is optional, of course. Also, you can echo ASCII art for the IBM logo, but the screen will flicker a lot due to the very fast counting coupled with cls.

Upon further testing, I've found a loophole. If file not found, the last known "good" data will be displayed twice. --------------------------------- Found 1 *.txt files Average Size is: B 468998524 KB 458006.371 MB 447.271847 GB 0.436788913 --------------------------------- File Not Found...

Perfect, sir! You've done it again!

@RElliot63: Thanks for the nudge in the right direction. I forsee a tweak or two to get your code to merged with mine. For example, how would I keep the set LOC line I originally had? I need that, or something similar, so I can send the script to a coworker and let him choose the server and path, an...

Hello all, I'm trying to get the average file size of three file types within a folder. The script below partially works, but only on the last of the three file types, and therefore only echoes one set of results. If I move the final closing parenthesis to the end of the script (from line 17 to line...

for %%a in (%*) do ( echo Processing %%a . . . call :process %%a ) echo All finished pause exit goto :eof I should have known it would be that simple! I was unaware that (%*) was a possibility. It all makes perfect sense now. I updated my batch with your changes and it worked flawlessly. It's two d...
