I want to query three folders (on three separate servers) for a list of client names.
Basically, in each of these folders, I have a bunch of .EXE's that are named as follows:
ClientName_ProductName.exe
From my main server, I'd like to output JUST the "ClientName" part to a ClientNames.txt file.
Here is what I had so far, but it is pulling ALL information in (all files in the directory):
:: Setting the client names file
set clientnamefile="C:\ClientNames.txt"
:: Copying directory information to ClientNames.txt
dir *_ProductName.exe "\\server1\c$\Program Files (x86)\Folder\" /B > %clientnamefile%
dir *_ProductName.exe "\\server2\c$\Program Files (x86)\Folder\" /B >> %clientnamefile%
dir *_ProductName.exe "\\server3\d$\Program Files (x86)\Folder\" /B >> %clientnamefile%
I want to end up with the following inside of a .txt file (which will then be used by another one of my scripts):
ClientName1
ClientName2
ClientName3
ClientName4
ClientName5
With the help of the internet, changing some things to fit my needs, and also help from MrLister in pointing out my rookie syntax mistake, I was able to get this working.
I now have a single text file which contains only the ClientName portion of my ClientName_ProductName.exe files from three different network locations.
The code is below:
:: Setting the client names file
set textfile="C:\Util\TFProAdmin Update\ClientName_Dirty.txt"
set textfile2="C:\Util\TFProAdmin Update\ClientName.txt"
set server1="\\clientimport01\c$\Program Files\Transfinder\TransfinderPro
set server2="\\clientimport02\c$\Program Files (x86)\Transfinder\Routefinder Pro
set server3="\\clientimport03\d$\Program Files (x86)\Transfinder\Routefinder Pro
set fileextension=*_ProductName.exe"
set searchline=_ProductName.exe
