DOS Command to Move Image Files to another Folder ?

[mave27]

I have numerous image files (JPG/PNG format) stored in a folder. I would like to filter out (move to another folder) images that does NOT contain any of the following text :

_thumb ; _tiny ; _zoom ; _std

Example: image_thumb.jpg ; image_tiny.jpg ; image_zoom.jpg ; image_std.jpg ; image.jpg

Output: image.jpg should be moved to another Folder

Anyone care to share DOS Command prompt to achieve this

Thanks in Advance.

Try this:

Code: Select all

@echo off
setlocal EnableDelayedExpansion

rem Define the list of parts of names to exclude
set numNames=0
for %%a in (_thumb _tiny _zoom _std) do (
   set /A numNames+=1
   set "exclude[!numNames!]=%%a"
)

for %%a in (*.jpg *.png) do (
   set "filename=%%a"
   set rightName=true
   for /L %%i in (1,1,%numNames%) do (
      for /F %%b in ("!exclude[%%i]!") do (
         if "!filename:%%b=!" neq "!filename!" set "rightName="
      )
   )
   if defined rightName move "!filename!" C:\other\folder
)

Thanks Antonio.

How do I execute the command?

Where should I place the source folder containing the images ? Is it root folder c:\folder ?

And what is the destination folder path ?

This is why I don't like seeing help on two different forums. You end up asking the same questions and now we have two competing scripts that we need to try and explain too you.

Put the batch file in the folder with all your images and execute it.

The output folder is defined in the very last line of code.

Code: Select all

if defined rightName move "!filename!" C:\other\folder

Change it to your liking but make sure that folder exists before you execute the batch file.
