Moving Files

[frostedflakes]

I need to create a batch program to move files that do not have same files names in other formats. let me explain

I have folders with 15,000+ file in them. I want to move some files that don't match other types, ie. filename.mp4 filename.txt filename.jpg, filename2.mp4, filename3.mp3 filename3.txt filename3.jpg.

i wan t be able to move filename2.mp4 to a seperate folder. All i can do is move fiels based on a list. that's as far as i can get witha batch script. Here os what i have..

@echo off
SET Filelist=D:\Dropbox\filelist.txt
SET src_folder=D:\source
SET tar_folder=D:\target

for /f "delims=" %%a in (' type "%Filelist%" ') do ( move "%src_folder%\%%a" "%tar_folder%\" )

pause


any help is appreciated

So are you saying you only want to move files that only have one common file name?
If they do not have another file with a different extension then move it?

[frostedflakes]

yes, 1 common name. If no other filename with different extension move it.

You mention plural of folders and huge numbers of files, and we have no information about which parts of the system needs searching and the criterion of where these files are likely to be.
