unix shell script to DOS translation

[loquela]

Hi there,

 

Does anyone know how the following script could be amended to work in dos?

 

Cheers

 

TOP_DIR=$1

count=1

for FILE in `find $TOP_DIR -type f -print`

do

        mv $FILE $FILE.$count

        count=`expr $count + 1`

done

I do. It can't. You can however use PHP, Python or other scripting language.

[loquela]

Yes, it can. Thanks.

Use batch or any of the other options previously mentioned.

That or use some kind of emulator

I don't know Unix shell scripting at all, but I'm taking a rough guess and hoping that that's supposed to count the number of files in the root directory.  If not, let me know and I'll revise my batch file for you.  If I'm right in my assumption, here's your Windows batch file equivalent:

 

dir /a "C:\" |find /c /v ""

 

Now, that will only count the number of files in the root directory.  It won't look inside any subdirectories.  Add the /s switch after the /a to search inside subdirectories.

 

If you were trying to make a batch file that asks the user were to search, you could use something like:

 

::File count
::captbeagle
CLS
@ECHO OFF
title Counting your files... one by one!
SET /P directory=Directory to search:
SET /P sub=Search subdirectories [Y/N]:
IF "sub"=="Y" GOTO subs
GOTO no_subs

:subs
dir /a /s %directory% |find /c /v ""
pause
exit

:no_subs
dir /a %directory% |find /c /v ""
pause
exit
