Then why not just use sed to do this as well.

I think batch files can't "recognize" directories on a server, but it might work if you map this network path to a network drive; have "\\server\project\textures" as a new drive letter, e.g., "S:\". So instead of running your batch from "\\server\project\textures&...

Surely you can't be serious.

I am still confused by doscode's use of a TAB or his problems using a TAB. Is this a language specific issue with his version of Windows? Not sure why he is putting the delimiter into a file. File1.txt Before1 After1 Before2 After2 Before3 After3 Before4 After4 delims.bat @echo off set "tab= &q...

I like Dave's final solution. Got one addition to it and it might speed it up on a very large unsorted text file.

Just used the /REC switch

I really wasn't referring to putting powershell inside a bat. I was more going along the route of just using pure powershell. They are building in some serious speed to Version 3 of PowerShell.

Yeah. Don't redirect the output from the first for loop to a file. Just go straight to the set statements.

Wouldn't !K's solution would work in this instance since we longer have to deal with the delimiter issue he had before in his previous thread.

I don't believe you want to PIPE the output of those commands to the next command.
I believe what you meant to use was the AMPERSAND (&).

%~zI - expands %I to size of file You will probably have to create a text file of all your output first and then use the same code as you did last time to sort them in size order, because I believe the sort function of DIR will sort by the size of each file in each folder instead of the whole output.

If you already new that the N and X were for the file name and extension why didn't you just take the X out in the first place? Scratch my head on that one.

You pretty much have full access to the .NET Libraries. Sapien Technologies used to have a Free Download of their Primal Tools that helped you make GUI for your PowerShell scripts. I used it for a while a few years ago just to learn the basics of what libraries I needed to use to make different inte...
