[RESOLVED] For Loop file filter in a .bat or .cmd file

Hi,

I'm not sure if this is the best place to post this question so please forgive me if it's not.

I've got a for loop in a batch file that loops ".jpg" files and I'd like to change it to find ".jpg" and ".pdf" files.

Is this possible?

Code:

---

SET counter=0
FOR /r "e:\test\myfiles\" %%X IN (*.jpg) DO (set /a counter+=1)

ECHO Copied %counter% of 5 file(s)

---

Any help or ideas will be greatly appreciated.

Regards Al

Presuming what you have works, why not just add another FOR with a another counter variable

Code:

---

SET counter=0
SET pdfCounter = 0
FOR /r "e:\test\myfiles\" %%X IN (*.jpg) DO (set /a counter+=1)
FOR /r "e:\test\myfiles\" %%X IN (*.pdf) DO (set /a pdfcounter+=1)

ECHO Copied %counter% of 5 file(s)
ECHO Copied %pdfcounter% of 5 file(s)

As a workaround I've applied the following which works but I was hoping for a cleaner solution.

Code:

---

SET counter=0
FOR /r "e:\test\myfiles\" %%X IN (*.jpg) DO (set /a counter+=1)
FOR /r "e:\test\myfiles\" %%X IN (*.pdf) DO (set /a counter+=1)

ECHO Copied %counter% file(s)

Hack,

Snap you suggested pretty much what I've managed to figure out. I must have started typing out my reply just before you posted yours.

Many thanks

Cheers Al
