windows - Using FOR command to list all the files in directory -

i had 4 files name cp1_26_09_2015.txt, cp1_22_02_2015, cp1_28_09_2015 , etc in same date format in 4 different subfolders of d:\drive.

i wanted search file 1 one when using for command list files in directory , subdirectory.

then lists out 4 names of text file in 4 different folders wanted path extracted 1 one perform operations 1 one on each file. till have constructed this:

setlocal enabledelayedexpansion setlocal set /a maxj=1 set /a j=1  set _t1=%date:.=% set  _year=%_t1:~-4,4%   set  _month=%_t1:~-10,2%   set  _day=%_t1:~-7,2%    cp1_26_09_2015.txt set _prefix=cp1 pause /f "usebackq tokens=*" %%i in (`dir /s /b d:\cp1*.txt`)  ( if not "%%~nxi"==**%_prefix%_%_year%_%_month%_%_day%.txt** (     set xcount_!j!=%%~i     set maxj=!j!     set /a j+=1 ) ) set xcount  set /a j-=1 @echo count of files : %j% pause 

now problem here when try remove today's date file in search file name cp1_28_09_2015.txt date variables in extension name provided in %_month%, %_year% , %_day% not working, reporting syntax error.

make bat file , try :

    @echo off     /r "d:\" %%i in (*_26_09_2015.txt) call:test %%i     echo done !     exit/b      :test     echo working on : %1     echo want %1 

new edit :

try :

@echo off  set  "_year=%date:~6,4%"   set  "_month=%date:~3,2%"   set  "_day=%date:~0,2%"    set "_prefix=cp1"  /f "tokens=*" %%i in ('dir /s /b cp1*.txt')  (   if /i not "%%~nxi"=="%_prefix%_%_day%_%_month%_%_year%.txt" (     call:next "%%~nxi") )  exit/b  :next echo make : %1 echo don't have today date pause
