i need to delete multiple files with the same name but different extensions from a list that already has an extension type.
i have a batch program to find strings in a files and to make a results text
@echo off
findstr /m "1090 FF" *.info > results.txt
if %errorlevel%==0 (
echo Found! logged files into results.txt
) else (
echo No matches found
)
this creates a list of files with the extension .info. i then need to take that list and delete all the files with the list of files but i need to delete all the sibling files with it.
example:
12345.info (in my list to del)
12345.cpr (need to del)
12345.emf (need to del)
12345.obj (need to del)
12345.timb (need to del)
i tried using this but it only deleted the .info file extension:
@echo off
REM Delete files/folders specified in a newline delimited txt file list.
set "default_list_path=C:\Users\%USERNAME%\Desktop\SAD_FF bat\results.txt"
if not "%~2"=="" echo Error: unexpected arguments& exit /b
if not "%~1"=="" ( set "list=%1" ) else (
set "list=%DEFAULT_LIST_PATH%"
)
if not exist "%LIST:"=%" echo Error: list could not be found& exit /b
set /a delete_counter=0
for /f "delims=" %%I in ('type "%LIST:"=%"') do (
if exist "%%~fI" (
set /a delete_counter+=1
if exist "%%~fI"\* (
rd /s /q "%%~fI"
) else (
del /q "%%~fI.*"
)
) else (
echo No such path "%%~I".
)
)
echo.& echo %DELETE_COUNTER% files or folders were deleted.
can i augment the later code to del all of the sibling files?? all suggestions welcomed!!
Try changing
del /q "%%~fI.*"
to
echo del /q "%%~dpnI.*"
The required DEL commands are merely ECHO
ed for testing purposes. After you've verified that the commands are correct, change ECHO DEL
to DEL
to actually delete the files.
