As of now i perform a operation using batch like below. FOR /D %%G in ("*") DO command
Please advice if i can use a IF loop to perform the same and how do i do. or suggest if there are any simple way to perform
Another option is to use FINDSTR to filter the ouptut of the DIR command and process results using FOR /F.
for /f "eol=: delims=" %%G in ('dir /b /ad ^|findstr /lie "shared"') do command
Here is a more robust version of LittleBobbyTables' solution that works with ! in folder names. It also properly does a case insensitive comparison.
setlocal disableDelayedExpansion
for /d %%G in (*) DO (
set "str=%%G"
setlocal enableDelayedExpansion
if /i "!str:~-6!" neq "shared" command
endlocal
)
You can check the %%G variable to see what the folder name is. From there, you can get the last 6 characters and see if the value is Shared.
We use SETLOCAL ENABLEDELAYEDEXPANSION so that we can update variables inside the loop.
@ECHO OFF
SETLOCAL ENABLEDELAYEDEXPANSION
FOR /D %%G in ("*") DO (
SET str=%%G
IF /I "!str:~-6!" NEQ "Shared" (
Command
)
)
PAUSE
SET str=%%G will fail if folder name contains an ! character. Can be solved by toggling delayed expansion on and off within the loop.
ECHO YAY in there before, and sloppily copied the DO Command in. I don't get any errors with SET str=%%G for folders containing ! though."My Shared!". Your code will exclude that directory, when actually it should not be excluded. Granted, ! is fairly rare in file or folder names. But it does happen.
