Batch script to copy 0 byte and non 0 byte to another dir

[bhas85]

I tried to find the solution but no luck.Could some one please provide me the batch script for the below one.
In a directory i had 3 types of files which need to move to another directory.
1) .RAW and .XML files if they are zero they need to move
2) Any file without any extension i.e normal file need to me moved whether it is zero or non zero.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Yuri,
Thanks a lot for your script.I had one question if the file is `text1` i.e without any extension.Not sure the below intilisation will work or not.Please explain me on this concept to move the file to different directoty.

set masks_2=*.

You can try the script in a test folder. What happened to the files in the folder when you ran this?

Hi Foxidrive,

When i tried to test the script.It says file not found.

@echo off

set "from=U:\vijay1"
set "to=U:\vijay2"
set masks_1=*.raw *.xml
set masks_2=*.

pushd "%from%"
for /f "tokens=1*" %%i in ('robocopy . %random% %masks_1% /nc /ndl /njh /njs /l') do if %%i==0 >nul move /y "%%j" "%to%"
for /f "delims=" %%i in ('dir /a-d/b %masks_2%') do>nul move /y "%%i" "%to%"
popd

pause

Code: Select all

'\\cifs.flnas.info53.com\home'
CMD.EXE was started with the above path as the current directory.

Please let me know what's wrong here.I need to move all file type as file to "TO" Folder as well.

Is U:\ a network drive?

If it is you have to map it sometimes.

Code: Select all

net use U: \\     
REM ^<^<^< Your drives network computer name should be put after the \\

You are positive you have files in this directory: C:\batch\vijay1

[Squashman]

The File Not Found error is coming from the DIR command in this line of code.

Code: Select all

for /f "delims=" %%i in ('dir /a-d/b %masks_2%') do>nul move /y "%%i" "%to%"

Basically means you do not have any files without an extension.
