- How to detect all files with pattern *dat* which do not have path pattern *log* ?
- Posted by Martin Caldwell on December 4th, 2005
I would like to list all files with the pattern *dat* in my whole directory tree
whose path does NOT contain the pattern *log*. How do I get this list ?
For example:
D:\xxx\yyy\file20051130.dat
D:\kkk\bbb\datall.txt
Should be listed but not:
D:\aaa\bbb\mylogs\ccc\today.dat
The "normal" dir command does NOT offer this kind of search.

DIR /s/b D:\*dat* | findstr /i /v /r ".*\\.*log.*\\.*"
should do the trick.
findstring - case-insensitive - not containing - regular expression
- any number of any characters
- slosh
- any number of any characters
- literal "log"
- any number of any characters
- slosh
- any number of any characters

Start a command prompt, then type either of the following commands:
dir d:\*.* /s /a-d | find /i /v "log" | more
dir d:\*.* /s /a-d /b | find /i /v "log" | more

Ahh - because it's been crossposted, so we select what - the LAST nominated
group?
Thanks for the quality software, Mr. Gates.

Hmm...yes, did just that. Twice - on the incarnation of this message in
microsoft.public.windowsxp.general - second time because the response hadn't
shown up in that group.
Looks like it's selecting the "followup to" group(s) rather than the
posted-to groups - which seems logical, in a twisted sort of a way.
Can't see why, if this is SOP, Bill doesn't generate a message warning that
the reply WON'T appear in the same group as that originally selected. So
many meaningless warnings, and no useful ones...

Dir *.dat > c:\Datlist.txt
find /V "log" C:\datlist.txt

I see what you mean. He really needs his heads punched in. This is a usual troll trick using follow ups.
