Hello,

I am stuck and i hope you can help!

I am trying to create a batch file that will run on a schedule. It will check a folder and any files that are over 3072 bytes it will move it to another folder called Moved Files.

Does anyone know how to do this?

This is what i have so far, it moves all files in the folder rather than the ones that are under 3072 bytes. This is because i am defining the file as *.* i assume. I cannot figure out how to set the ones under 3072 bytes as a variable or something.

%dispatch%\*.*
move %%A

set "dispatch=C:\Users\Matthew\Desktop\MM Image Count\Test folder"

for %%A in (%dispatch%\*.*) do if %%~zA LEQ 3072 move "%%A" "C:\Users\Matthew\Desktop\MM Image Count\Movefolder"

So it should look like this?

Well your folder path has spaces so you will need quotes.

Thanks. My code which works based on it moving files which are only 3kb in size to another folder works great. This is below



I have one last request that i cannot figure out. As i have said this runs perfectly but what i would like to happen now is when it does the check for any files that are smaller than 3kb i would like it to launch a .exe. Lets call it test.exe for sake of a name.

I have tried to figure this out but i cannot get it to run once, it runs on the loop and runs the .exe as many times as there are files under 3kb. I assumed i would have to do a count of the amount of times the above coding searches through and finds a file under 3kb and then to do a simple if %count% GEQ 1 do ( start test.exe).

Anyone have any thoughts on how i can get a .exe to only run once if the above coding finds a 3kb rather than running it as many times as there are 3kb files (e.g. 5 3kb file would run test.exe 5 times).

Thanks,
Matt

Thanks for this but how does it still move the files that are under 3kb as well as running the .exe only once?

Ignore me lol

Note that I modified the code above. Now it will only run the test.exe if files are moved.
