I wants to create a batch file with the following conditions

[akbarsha03]

I'm having one great challenge according to create a batch file. Here is my situation I'm having folder full of folders and files(note all the files are in ".apf" extension). I want to create a empty file with ".event" extension in each and every folder where the folder name and if one of the file name is same. The created ".event" extension file should be same as the folder name and file name where as same. Thanks in advance pls help me.

Example: "apple"->folder name
"orange.abf","pineapple.abf","apple.abf" -> file names inside apple folder

I've to check the folder name and file name where they are same. If same name found then I have create a empty file in the same name with ".event" as a extension.

As I found apple as a same name in folder name and also file name I have to create a empty file as "apple.event"

Try this and remove the "echo" command before "copy" if the output is OK:

Code: Select all

@echo off&setlocal 
set "startfolder=X:\my start\folder"
for /d /r "%startfolder%" %%i in (*) do if exist "%%~fi\%%~ni.apf" echo copy nul "%%~fi\%%~ni.event"

Thanks for the quick response and help.... Very much appreciated.. code worked once i removed the echo before copy!! thanks very much. May I know if i will give the location of the folder in shared path of the server, then it will work? If not what is the alternative?

It should also work with a shared net ressource.
