batch script to find a file

[stevenwhite]

I need a batch script to find a files in directory and subdirectories and if the file doesn't exist, need to point the name of the folder in a seprate file.

For example, I have folder and in that i have 200 subfolders. each subfolder has 2 files, a.txt and b.txt. Need a batch scipt to find a.txt in all subfolders, if any subdirectory is doesn't have the a.txt file, then it should display a name of folder in a seprate output file say output.txt.

someone pls provide a solution

untested:

Code: Select all

@echo off
for /f "delims=" %%a in ('dir /ad /b /s') do (
if not exist "%%a\a.txt" >>"c:\folder.log" echo %%a
)
