Hi,
I am trying to create a batch file that can run against the users directory in the
IMail folder to identify accounts that have an Info Manager message(main.inf file). --
Easy part...
Next I want to get the create date of the main.inf file so we will know when it was
created so we can time the deletion of the account. Here's an example of where I am
now with the batch file:
Directory of D:\testbatch\users\test_user2
06/06/01 03:17p 13 main.inf
Directory of D:\testbatch\users\test_user3
06/06/01 03:17p 13 main.inf
What I'd like to do now and am not sure how to proceed is to parce the info so I can
get the folder name(user id) and date/time onto a single line so we have a good list
to work from.
Here's what I'd like the resulting file to look like:
test_user2 06/06/01 03:17p
test_user3 06/06/01 03/17p
here's what I have now:
________________________________
@echo off
echo.
echo This batch is an attempt to locate those users that have a main.inf
echo file in their users directory and then retrieve the date created of
echo of the so we know how long they have been inactive.
echo That way we'll know when we can remove the account.
echo.
echo For testing, I have a testbatch folder instead of the imail folder.
echo GFPSAdmin is a folder for storing various sysadmin stuff
echo .
rem pause
d:
cd \testbatch
rem building userlist based on directory only
dir /B /AD users>GFPSAdmin\dirlist.txt
echo.>GFPSAdmin\datetemp.log
echo Please wait while the file is copied to all directories ...
rem This for loop loops through the dirlist.txt file looking for the filename
rem main.inf in each folder in the file. If it finds it, it does a dir main.inf
rem to the folder so I get the date and filename.
rem Note that this command(next two lines) must all be on one single line:
FOR /F "eol= tokens=1,* delims=/" %%I in (GFPSAdmin\dirlist.txt) do if exist
.\users\%%I\Main.inf dir .\users\%%I\Main.inf>>GFPSAdmin\datetemp.log
rem Now, parse through the above file and get out the user and date of the main.inf
creation
cd GFPSAdmin
findstr "\users\ main.inf" datetemp.log > datetest.log
del datetemp.log
rem echo Check file GFPSAdmin\datetest.log for details.
rem echo.
