Re: batch file for finding full path of a file
I don't know how to convert this into a batch file but this is how it's done from the Command Prompt:
CD\
DIR /s
Make a great day!

Re: batch file for finding full path of a file
Hi Prajith,
@echo off
cd \
set /p fileName="Insert file name to be searched.: "
title searching file
echo.
dir %filename% /s
pause
Note: if the file has blanks between words, users must use ""
Example:
Insert file name: "NCRM TaskForce Minutes 2006_11_15.doc"
hope that will do.
Tnks.

Re: batch file for finding full path of a file
hi prajith,
You can run this bath like this example:
FilePath.bat filename
If the file file as spaces between you have to use "" like for example:
FilePath.bat "file name.txt"
Note: All files found will be outputted in the end, and the last or only file found will be saved in the variable %filepath" so you can used it latter or even used it on another script.
***copy the following code to a text file, and change the extension to .bat or .cmd.***
::----------------------------------------
@echo off
set filename=%1
set filenamePath="%userprofile%\desktop\filenamePath.txt"
c:
cd\
dir %filename% /s/b | findstr %filename% > %filenamePath%
for /f "usebackq tokens=1 delims=" %%i in (%filenamePath%) do (
set filePath=%%i
)
type %filenamepath%
del %filenamePath%
::------------------------------------------
I don't really know why you need this, since a "dir /s/a filename" will find the file you need, but here it is anyway.
Hope this helps,
best regards,
Hugo Tigre
