So I just want to know if there's a way that I can get the name of the directory or a folder.
So for example I have these folders in my directory
test1_ew test2_ter test3_ew
So I just want to get the folders that have "_ew" on their names. So basically I want to check all the folder names in my current directory if there's a _ew on their names.
If such folder(s) exist, I would like to run an executable file inside the folder(s).
Thank you in Advance!
Why not use IF EXIST if the text you are looking for will not change?
Here's an example:
C:\Scripts>for /f %a in ('dir c:\scripts\*s* /b /A:D') do echo %a C:\Scripts>echo sccm sccm C:\Scripts>echo Test Test C:\Scripts>echo updates updates -Edit to add IF EXIST
C:\Scripts>for /f %a in ('dir c:\scripts\*s* /b /A:D') do if exist %a echo YES C:\Scripts>if exist sccm echo YES YES C:\Scripts>if exist Test echo YES YES C:\Scripts>if exist updates echo YES YES You can use the Attribute switch /A: with the DIR command to specify you only want to look for a directory and use a wildcard for the directory name:
DIR C:\FOLDER\*_ew /B /A:D You could also send this to a text file, for example on your desktop, like so:
DIR C:\FOLDER\*_ew /B /A:D > %USERPROFILE%\Desktop\TEST_OUTOUT.txt note that if any of the paths used have spaces you will need to wrap them in quotation marks.
String name and not in their actual filename?
