    Batch File - Find Multiple Files From Multiple Locations


    Hi,

    I'm not new to Batch Files but i have a requirement that i can't seem to get my head around, I'm sure it must be simple'ish..

    I have 2 .txt files (Locations.txt | Files.txt)


    • Locations is a list of directories
    • Files is a list of file names

    I would like to write a Batch Script that would loop through each location in the Locations.txt for files names that match any in Files.txt

    I think i may need to write a for loop to cycle through the locations but then i'm not sure how i would pass the file names through for it to check for.

    Basically if it does find any of those file names in any of the location i would want it to echo a message.

    Regards,
    Jamie

    :)

    How do you search for and replace a character in multiple filenames?

    Hi Kevin,

    For the feature that you're looking for, I believe that you need to rename the files one-by-one.

    Though, I found an article that you can try. Please ensure to read the instructions thoroughly.

    Automatic Numbering convention when renaming groups of photos.

    You will need to use a third party utility for that. The following article suggests some utilities you can use to rename a batch of files using different conventions.
