Hi – just looking for some guidance here… I need to know how to have a batch file look for the presence of multiple files before it processes. I understand that IF EXIST might work for this, but for multiple files – I am not sure.
Example: User executes Script.bat that looks something like the following:
@echo off
echo.
echo Processing…
echo.
cd C:\BIN
program.exe *.pri > Output.txt
exit
—
The problem is that if there are two files with .pri extensions in the folder, the program will take a lot longer to output to a text file. So the logic being that, if more than 1 .pri file exists, display a message stating “Multiple files detected. The output might take some time…Continue Processing?”
Ideally, the user should only be working with one file at a time and should not be processing multiple files.
If this cannot be done through a batch, that is understandable. If there might be a viable solution using VB instead, I’m game. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Hope this post makes sense!
