113} How do I find all *.TXT files on the C: drive sorted by size?
@echo off & setlocal enableextensions enabledelayedexpansion
if exist "%temp%\temp.dir" del "%temp%\temp.dir"
for /f "delims=" %%f in (
'dir /a:-d /b /s c:\*.txt') do (
set filename_="%%~ff"
set filesize_=0000000000%%~zf
set filesize_=!filesize_:~-10!
echo !filesize_! !filename_! >>"%temp%\temp.dir"
)
sort /r "%temp%\temp.dir"
if exist "%temp%\temp.dir" del "%temp%\temp.dir"
endlocal & goto :EOF
The output might start with something like
0000401272 "c:\INF2\FAQPAS.TXT"
0000389257 "c:\BAT\1BATFAQ.TXT"
0000359101 "c:\CHYDE\INDEX.TXT"
0000272243 "c:\CMD\1CMDFAQ.TXT"
Should one wish to get rid of the leading filesize:
@echo off & setlocal enableextensions enabledelayedexpansion
if exist "%temp%\temp.dir" del "%temp%\temp.dir"
for /f "delims=" %%f in (
'dir /a:-d /b /s c:\*.txt') do (
set filename_="%%~ff"
set filesize_=0000000000%%~zf
set filesize_=!filesize_:~-10!
echo !filesize_! !filename_! >>"%temp%\temp.dir"
)
::
for /f "delims=" %%a in ('sort /r "%temp%\temp.dir"') do (
set filename_=%%a
set filename_=!filename_:~11!
echo !filename_!
)
::
if exist "%temp%\temp.dir" del "%temp%\temp.dir"
endlocal & goto :EOF
Then the output would be something like
"c:\_F\INF2\FAQPAS.TXT"
"c:\_F\BAT\1BATFAQ.TXT"
"c:\_F\CHYDE\INDEX.TXT"
"c:\_F\CMD\1CMDFAQ.TXT"
Consider again the first solution code. The problem with that solution
is that file names with exclamation marks (!) get dropped because of
the enabled delayedexpansion. To counter that problem use a subroutine
@echo off & setlocal enableextensions disabledelayedexpansion
set tempdir_=%temp%\temp.dir
if exist "%tempdir_%" del "%tempdir_%"
for /f "delims=" %%f in (
'dir /a:-d /b /s c:\*.txt') do (
call :NameSizeToTemp "%%~ff"
)
sort /r "%tempdir_%"
if exist "%tempdir_%" del "%tempdir_%"
endlocal & goto :EOF
::
:NameSizeToTemp
set filename_="%~f1"
set filesize_=0000000000%~z1
set filesize_=%filesize_:~-10%
echo %filesize_% %filename_% >>"%tempdir_%"
goto :EOF
The above could also be written as
@echo off & setlocal enableextensions disabledelayedexpansion
set tempdir_=%temp%\temp.dir
if exist "%tempdir_%" del "%tempdir_%"
for /r "C:\" %%f in ("*.TXT") do call :NameSizeToTemp "%%~ff"
sort /r "%tempdir_%"
if exist "%tempdir_%" del "%tempdir_%"
endlocal & goto :EOF
::
:NameSizeToTemp
set filename_="%~f1"
set filesize_=0000000000%~z1
set filesize_=%filesize_:~-10%
echo %filesize_% %filename_% >>"%tempdir_%"
goto :EOF
A small part of the output might look something like
:
0000123770 "C:\MAIL\BIKES.TXT"
0000112198 "C:\ACCOUNTS\FEB2008.TXT"
0000108029 "C:\TEACH\PARAG\ACCLAW.TXT"
