WANTED: Easy Batch File Job

MicroGuy · 11-02-2011, 08:10 AM

Please do not do any work if you see PM sent in this thread

I need a batch file that will work on Windows Server Web Edition that will move certain file types from the directory root and ALL sub directories into another directory.

Example:

Destination
e:\moved

Source
c:\documents\bg.doc
c:\documents\bg.htm
c:\documents\abc\ea.doc
c:\documents\abc\ea.doc
c:\documents\abc\eb.text
c:\documents\abc\ec.doc
c:\documents\abc\a.doc
c:\documents\123\a.htm
c:\documents\bg.doc
c:\documents\def\c.txt

I want the batch file to move all the .doc and .txt files (or other specified extensions) from the root directory AND ALL subdirectories into the e:\moved folder.

The commands in the batch file should specify directory root and all sub directories. Please make the batch file along with comments in the file containing instructions.

I can pay $10.00 upon completion. Please post "PM sent" in thread and send me a link to the file along with your PayPal email address. Upon receipt and testing, I will send funds.

Here you go

Code:

set ext=xls bmp
set root=d:\data\532224979\Desktop\TEST
set final=d:\data\532224979\Desktop\TEST\final\

for %%a in (%ext%) do (
	for /f "delims=" %%b in ('dir /b/s/a-d "%root%\*.%%a"') do (
		MOVE /Y "%%b" "%final%"
))

You can still request my paypal account if this helped you
