Count For Files In Directory And Start Xcopy

  • 1

Hello gurus,

I am facing the below issue.
I have some files in directory Dir_1 , and I need to copy them in another directory Dir_2.

Well, here I go.
I thought this would have done the job, but it isn’t.
What am I missing?

@echo off & setLocal EnableDELAYedeXpansion

pushd D:\Dir_1

for /F %%j in (dir D:\Dir_1 /A-D | find /c "OK_ARCHIVE") do set Count=%%jdo set Count=%%j

if %count% EQU 0 (
    echo No files found in the specified folder>>FilesError.log
) else (
for /L %%b in (1 1 %count%) do ( xcopy "D:\Dir_1"  "G:\Dir_2" /D /I /Y)
echo A total of !count! files have been copied>>FilesSuccess.log
)
move FilesSuccess.log D:\Dir_3
move FilesError.log D:\Dir_3

after executing, I am getting

| was unexpected at this time.

Please help,
Thnx and regards

    1. @echo off & setlocal

set source=D:\Dir_1
set target=G:\Dir_2

cd /D "%source%"
if not exist "%target%" md "%target%"
if not exist "D:\Dir_3\FilesList.log" type nul > "D:\Dir_3\FilesList.log"
set stamp=%date:~-10% on %time:~0,8%

set cnt=0
for %%j in (*) do if %%~zj geq 50 if not exist "%target%.\%%j" (
  type "D:\Dir_3\FilesList.log" | find /I "%%j" > nul
  if ErrorLevel 1 (
    copy "%%j" "%target%" > nul
    echo.%stamp% %%j>> "D:\Dir_3\FilesList.log"
    set /A cnt+=1
  )
)

if %cnt% equ 0 (
  echo.no files found
  echo.%stamp% no files found>> "D:\Dir_3\FilesError.log"
) else (
   echo.%cnt% files copied
   echo.%stamp% %cnt% files copied>> "D:\Dir_3\FilesSuccess.log"
)
