Delete files which matches to the pat tern

[ernest211]

How can I delete files which matches to pattern for example I have folder with files
test.txt
some_image.bmp
test
setup.exe
test a1

now I want to delete files which name contain word “test” so this will by three files
test.txt
test (file don’t have extension)
test a1 (file don’t have extension)

I have loop

Code: Select all

for /f "delims=" %%a IN ('dir /b') do (    
   if "%%a"=="test*.*" (
     del %%a
   )
 )

but condition is bad how to fix that?

Pipe it to FINDSTR to match the pattern. Try something like that

Code: Select all

for /f "delims=" %%a in ('dir /a-d /b^|findstr /b /i /c:"test"') do del "%%a"

dir /a-d /b - doesn't return folders (/a-d) and verbose infos
findstr /b /i /c:"test" - test have to be on the beginning of the name (/b), ignore upper/lower case (/i)
