Working perfectly now Foxidrive, thanks again!

Thanks for your help again Foxidrive. I'm not getting the output I'm expecting.

Here is what I'm getting with either 1 or 2 EOD messages:

Thanks Foxi! Can I throw a monkey wrench in the works? If 2 Eod files aren't found, I need it to say that. Here is what I was attempting: @echo off set "xmlpath=\\server1\developer\inetpub\Ftproot\XMLs\*.xml" dir /o:-d "%xmlpath%" |find ":" |find /v "\" >"...

Hi Foxidrive I would like the last modified date and time after the EODMess file. So the first line and the 2nd to last. EODMESS_20150930_1076295166.xml Date & Time ..... Other files ..... EODMESS_20150930_1076295166.xml Date & Time located 6006 files in total

Given this code that Foxidrive helped me with: @echo off set "xmlpath=\\Server1\developer\inetpub\Ftproot\XMLs\*.xml" dir /b /o:-d %xmlpath% >"%temp%\filterEOD.tmp" set "found=" set "files=" setlocal enabledelayedexpansion ( for /f "usebackq delims="...

Your first 2 questions sound like they would be better done in Excel using VBA. Sure I can write batch code that calls VBScript to do it, but it isn't the best tool for the job. I suggest posting it in the Excel VBA secton of m. Now, to answer your last question, this can be easily done in batch. It...

That was a carryover from code I first started with but figured out a better way to do it.
Thanks for the optimization!

Hi Shaswat. Try this:

Thanks Foxi. I have this working perfectly now. You forgot the /a on location and I just used notepad to show the file list as well as sending the number of files there too. Your code is way faster than mine too. It takes less than a second for it to pop up the populated notepad window.

I created and run it from my workstation against the server. Since I have read access, I'm able to pushd and popd to get access and have it output to my local workstation. I just can't write a file to the server or my workstation from the server.

I can't do it that way. I only have read access on the server. I also can't write back from the server to my workstation I tried that already. I can only run it from my workstation against the server and get the output in the cmd window. I have my buffer size set to 999 and num of buffers set to 999...

Here is what I came up with but I think I'm falling prey to the Dir read for large directories. There are 32k files and this takes about 30 seconds to run but the dir is just going to keep growing until the end of the month. I can't write the file out because I only have read access on the server. I...

Yes, That is exactly what I'm trying to do.

Thanks for your help Foxi. I appreciate it.
