list certain extensions only

[macroman]

Hello all,

How do get a list of files with certain file extensions only? The line i'm using now is

Code: Select all

GetFileList>c:\temp\*.*,files 

I just want to list .bat .exe and .com only...

Code: Select all

GetFileList>c:\temp\*.bat,vBATfiles,crlf
GetFileList>c:\temp\*.exe,vEXEfiles,crlf
GetFileList>c:\temp\*.com,vCOMfiles,crlf

Let>vAllFiles=%vBATFiles%%vEXEfiles%%vCOMfiles%

MDL>vAllFiles

Hi, my solution was very similar, however kept the ; as delimiter. For a general solution one could put the extensions into a string, eg Let>str=exe;bat;com... , then parse with Separate> and loop. Alternative put it into a SRT> with desirable extensions as parameter.

Code: Select all

Let>path=c:\temp\

GetFileList>%path%*.exe,files1
GetFileList>%path%*.com,files2
GetFileList>%path%*.bat,files3
Let>Files=%files1%;%files2%;%files3%

//Replace any multiple ; with just one ;
RegEx>;+,Files,0,m,nm,1,;,Files
//Remove any initial or final ;
RegEx>(^;|;$),Files,0,m,nm,1,,Files

MDL>Files

Overkill here, but I was just curious how one could do it in the DOS world. From strList one can easily extract the file info.

Code: Select all

IfFileExists>%TEMP_DIR%tmplist.txt
    DeleteFile>%TEMP_DIR%tmplist.txt
Endif

Let>string=*.exe *.bat *.com

ChangeDirectory>c:\temp\

Let>RP_WAIT=1
Run>cmd /C dir %string% >> "%TEMP_DIR%tmplist.txt"

ReadFile>%TEMP_DIR%tmplist.txt,strList
MDL>strList

Code: Select all

GetFileList>c:\temp\*.bat,vBATfiles,crlf
GetFileList>c:\temp\*.exe,vEXEfiles,crlf
GetFileList>c:\temp\*.com,vCOMfiles,crlf

Let>vAllFiles=%vBATFiles%%vEXEfiles%%vCOMfiles%

MDL>vAllFiles

Thank you you're the best!

Hi, just be aware that if you don't have a delimiter between the file groups when you put them together, you may get problem eg with Separate> not separating as you want, possibly showing elements with more than one file in them. Depends on what you are doing later if problem or not.
