I'm trying to find out ugraf.exe files from mapped drive. Below command loops through all folders on current drive to find file - ugraf.exe .
For /R %A In (ugraf.exe)Do @Echo %~dpnxA
I want to find the ugraf.exe in folders starting from ugnx* and existing only in ugii folder.
O:\ugnxxxxx\...\wntx64\kits\ugii\ugraf.exe
Could anyone please help me?
Unless there are a lot of large directories in the root of O: whose names do not begin with the string ugnx, it seems as if it would be simpler to just search for the file, then check its output for ugnx and ugii directories in the returned path string:
@"%__AppDir__%where.exe" /R "O:\." "ugraf.exe" 2>NUL | "%__AppDir__%findstr.exe" /I /R "^O:\\ugnx*\\ugii\\ugraf\.exe$"
You could even do that with the Dir command, instead of using where.exe:
@Dir /B /S /A:-D "O:\ugraf.exe" 2>NUL | "%__AppDir__%findstr.exe" /I /R "^O:\\ugnx*\\ugii\\ugraf\.exe$"
If you wanted to capure it from a for-loop:
@For /F "Delims=" %%G In ('""%__AppDir__%where.exe" /R "O:\." "ugraf.exe" 2>NUL | "%__AppDir__%findstr.exe" /I /R "^O:\\ugnx*\\ugii\\ugraf\.exe$""') Do @Echo %%G
Or using the Dir command instead of where.exe
@For /F "Delims=" %%G In ('"Dir /B /S /A:-D "%%G\ugraf.exe" 2>NUL | "%__AppDir__%findstr.exe" /I /R "^O:\\ugnx*\\ugii\\ugraf\.exe$""') Do @Echo %%G
If the directories in the root of O: on your ugnx* directory level could be large or many, then just pass that from an initial For /D loop:
@For /D %%G In ("O:\ungx*") Do @For /F "Delims=" %%H In ('""%__AppDir__%where.exe" /R "%%G" "ugraf.exe" 2>NUL | "%__AppDir__%findstr.exe" /I /R "^O:\\ugnx*\\ugii\\ugraf\.exe$""') Do @Echo %%H
Or using the Dir command instead of where.exe
@For /D %%G In ("O:\ungx*") Do @For /F "Delims=" %%H In ('"Dir /B /S /A:-D "%%G\ugraf.exe" 2>NUL | "%__AppDir__%findstr.exe" /I /R "^O:\\ugnx*\\ugii\\ugraf\.exe$""') Do @Echo %%G
Or a For /F loop:
@For /F "Delims=" %%G In ('Dir /B /S /A:D "O:\ungx*" 2^>NUL') Do @For /F "Delims=" %%H In ('""%__AppDir__%where.exe" /R "%%G" "ugraf.exe" 2>NUL | "%__AppDir__%findstr.exe" /I /R "^O:\\ugnx*\\ugii\\ugraf\.exe$""') Do @Echo %%H
And once again, using Dir, instead of where.exe:
@For /F "Delims=" %%G In ('Dir /B /S /A:D "O:\ungx*" 2^>NUL') Do @For /F "Delims=" %%H In ('"Dir /B /S /A:-D "%%G\ugraf.exe" 2>NUL | "%__AppDir__%findstr.exe" /I /R "^O:\\ugnx*\\ugii\\ugraf\.exe$""') Do @Echo %%H
O: drive is not what I said, @Experimenter. I was deliberately specific, the issue, (speed), would only be if there were a lot of large trees in the root of O: adjacent to O:\ugnx*. The time would be wasted going through those trees first. I have therefore added an additional For /D and For /F option for those scenarios. Feel free to test them all for speed. You could also try replacing "%__AppDir__%where.exe" /R "%%G" "ugraf.exe" with Dir /B /S /A:-D "%%G\ugraf.exe" in those examples to see if it's quicker for you too, (answer updated).You can pipe your results with findstr commands:
... | findstr /I "O:\ugn" | findstr /I "ugii\ugraf.exe"
The /I stands for case insensitivity.
The findstr /I "O:\ugn" checks that the main directory is indeed "ugnxxxxx".
The findstr /I "ugii\ugraf.exe" makes sure you only get the ones in the "ugii" directory.
\ and . characters are special in findstr.
for /D %A in ("O:\ungx*") do pushd "%~A" && ((for /D /R %B in ("ugii") do if exist "%~B\ugraf.exe" echo/%~B\ugraf.exe) & popd)ugnx*:if exist "O:\ugnx100\nx10.24\....\fsnac3\"ugii"\ugraf.exe" echo/O:\ugnx100\nx10.24\...\fsnac3\"ugii"\ugraf.exefor /D /R %B in ("ugii"), the string within the parentheses is supposed to be a glob? If you change any one of the characters to a?, it should fix that, (e.g.u?ii), however, you'd have to be sure that the character you change doesn't then match another none required directory too.cmd /Q, then try again, or place@symbols before commands/blocks…
