CMD script - copy files with name end _0001.png

Question

I need help writing a script in cmd

I am in a folder that has subfolders in it, you have to search these subfolders (do not go deeper) and copy files whose name ends with "_0001.png" to the folder !! _ TEMP (this folder is in the place where the program starts)

Can you help me?

This not work:

for /R "%folder%" %%G in (*_0001.png) do copy "%%G" "%folder%\!!_TEMP\"

Answer 1

pushd "%folder%"
for /D %%D in (*) do copy "%%D\*_0001.png" "!!_TEMP"
popd

Answer 2

CMD is not my strength, so I'll offer my Powershell solution.

$content = Get-ChildItem .\Desktop\localtmp -Depth 1
foreach($file in $content){
    if($file.Name -like "*_0001.png"){
    $path = $file.DirectoryName + "\" + $file.Name
        Copy-Item $path -Destination .\Desktop\anotherlocaltmp
    }
}

you just need to add your paths

Hope it helps!

This should work for you:

@echo off

set "dir=C:\Your\Root\Folder"
set "tem=%dir%\!!_Temp"

for /d %%A in (*) do (
    for %%B in (%%A\*_0001.png) do (
        if not exist "%tem%\%%~nxB" copy /y "%%B" "%tem%\" 
    )
)

To make things cleaner and easier to change, we set two variables - one for your root folder (dir) and one for the !!_Temp folder (tem) inside your root; this also assumes based on your question that you're running the .bat file from the root folder - if this isn't the case we can edit the path in the first for-loop.

The first loop has for /d which looks only at top-level folders in your current directory, and for each iteration of the loop those top-level folders are set as parameter %%A. The next loop looks only at files matching the criteria we set - which is anything in %%A that ends in _0001.png - and sets each of those as parameter %%B. The command in this final loop is if not exist "%tem%\%%~nxB" copy /y "%%B" "%tem%\" - we include the if not exist so it doesn't run on files that have already been copied to !!_Temp. Based on your question I'm not sure if you'd ever run into multiple files in multiple subfolders that have the exact same name, but if that is a potential case we can work around that.

Answer 4

This one line for loop should work. It has the same variables as the ones you are using.

for /f "delims==" %%G in ('dir "%folder%\*_0001.png" /s /b') do copy "%%G" "%folder%\!!_TEMP\"
