i need to check on a branch if it has any files other than desktop.ini

[nnnmmm]

would someone like to write this batch for me?

if "%USERPROFILE%\Pictures" 's current directory or subdirectories have any files other than desktop.ini then
play C:\Windows\Media\chord.wav (if not easy , then beep pc speaker )
and echo "alert"

test-1.bat

Code: Select all

@echo off
set "YourFolder=%USERPROFILE%\Pictures"
if exist "%YourFolder%" (
    pushd "%YourFolder%"
    dir /b /a | findstr /v /x /i "desktop.ini" | findstr .*
    if not errorlevel 1 (
        start "" "C:\Windows\Media\chord.wav"
    )
    popd
)

C:\Users\AAA\Pictures\Camera Roll\
C:\Users\AAA\Pictures\Saved Pictures\
C:\Users\AAA\Pictures\other game names\

the batch detects these as files. they can have directories, and programs always rebuild these directories, so no point to delete them, but i wont allow this kind of trash files in where OS is.

start "" "C:\Windows\Media\chord.wav" was more trouble than i thought, i uninstalled all windows software, including win media, there are absolutely no integrations with any file extensions. i think i will replace it with NirCMD for this, but kind of working slow. if beeping PC speaker is PASSIVELY possible without loading any software, i will take the code

thanks for the help

            set "BEL=%%i"
        )
        for /l %%i in (1,1,3) do (
            echo,%BEL%
            ping -n 2 127.0.0.1 >nul
        )
    )
    popd

@echo off

if exist "%YourFolder%" (

    if not errorlevel 1 (
       echo ALERT
       pause
    )
    popd
)

this batch always shows ALERT, even though there are no other files other than desktop.ini
....because there might a file like screenshot01.jpg somewhere in %USERPROFILE%\Pictures's subdirectories....
please forget about beep or any sound play code

thanks very much it was done very nicely
i thought the batch coding of sound making was faster but NirCMDC was much much faster and clean.
and a batch coding from all your helps didnt make any sounds, it sort of hung for 3~4 seconds, it was probably because a PC speaker BEEP was NOT a real PC speaker BEEP, and probably was replaced with the direct sound emulating PC speaker BEEP behind my back, because when DOSBox-X emulates DOS programs, DOSBOX-X makes stereo PC speaker BEEP, loud and clean and more pleasing, and the frequency and duration of BEEP were exactly the same as what real PC speaker BEEP would have done.
this batch now makes its place in the startup dir.

PS, is it possible, when the code doesnt find any files, not to show "files not found" display output
