Hi
I am looking to write a batch script and I am kinda new. There are like 35 folders and each folder will receive files daily, so I want to monitor all folder if file received daily or not. files can be identified by file name which has date in it but some of them date format is different. Below is the script I tried but it does not work. I want to write the missing file to a log file and finally that log file should be emailed to me. I schedule to run this thru job scheduler daily. Your help is appreciated.
@echo off
set "YYYY=%date:~12,2%"
set "YY=%date:~10,4%"
set "MM=%date:~7,2%"
set "Source=D:\Customer\files"
echo %date% > D:\Customer\files\%YYYY%-%MM%-%DD%-Logfile.txt
IF not exist "%Source%\ABCD\Received\ABC_%YYYY%%MM%%DD%.txt" (echo "ABC_%YYYY%%MM%%DD%.txt does not exist >> %YYYY%-%MM%-%DD%-Logfile.txt")
IF not exist "%Source%\DEFC\Received\DEF_%YYYY%%MM%%DD%.txt" (echo "DEF_%YYYY%%MM%%DD%.txt does not exist >> %YYYY%-%MM%-%DD%-Logfile.txt")
IF not exist "%Source%\FGHI\Received\EFG_%YYYY%%MM%%DD%.txt" (echo "EFG_%YYYY%%MM%%DD%.txt does not exist >> %YYYY%-%MM%-%DD%-Logfile.txt")
.

(Thinking to call a VB Script to email attachment, let me know if any batch script available to email log file)
exit
Thanks in advance

Re: File watcher/ monitor batch script
This should work on XP Pro and higher. There are batch files to email - you can google for it.
Code: Select all
@echo off
for /f "delims=" %%a in ('wmic OS Get localdatetime ^| find "."') do set dt=%%a
set datestamp=%dt:~0,8%
set timestamp=%dt:~8,6%
set YYYY=%dt:~0,4%
set MM=%dt:~4,2%
set DD=%dt:~6,2%
set HH=%dt:~8,2%
set Min=%dt:~10,2%
set Sec=%dt:~12,2%
set "Source=D:\Customer\files"
set "log=D:\Customer\files\%YYYY%-%MM%-%DD%-Logfile.txt"
>"%log%" echo %date%
for %%a in (
"%Source%\ABCD\Received\"
"%Source%\DEFC\Received\"
"%Source%\FGHI\Received\"
) do (
for /f "delims=" %%b in ('dir /a-d /b "%%~a\*_%YYYY%%MM%%DD%.txt" ^| find /c /v "" ') do (
if %%b EQU 0 >>"%log%" echo %%a - *_%YYYY%%MM%%DD%.txt files not found
)
)
