Hi, I'm using this script on my server
Code: Select all
type D: \ 09082011.txt | find / c "aborted"
the following problem, every day here consists of a new file, the most recently created file to use this command. How can I do?
Code: Select all
type D: \ ?????. txt | find / c "aborted"

Sorry - I think
FIND /C "aborted" filename is faster than
TYPE filename | FIND /C "aborted". But I didn't test for differences in output. Just need to revert to your syntax.
Also I reread your requirements and saw you wanted the most recent *.txt
created. I was getting the most recent *.txt
written to. So I changed the DIR option from /TW to /TC.
Here is the fix:
Code: Select all
for /f %%f in ('dir /b /o-d /tc d:\*.txt') do type %%~ff | find /c "aborted" & goto :quitLoop
:quitLoop
