My digital camera produces both a 'raw' and a jpg version of each
image.
The
file names are identical except for the .raw and .jpg extensions.
I put all the .raw images in a 'RAW' folder and all the jpg images in a
JPG
folder. I browse the jpg folder quickly using Irfanview, deleting poor
images. Then I need to delete equivalent files in the RAW folder.
This
action is error prone if I do it manually so I need a script.
I have a little experience of VBS scripting and would appreciate a
suggestion that might get me started.
I use VBS 6 in Windows 2000.
many thanks in advance,
Davy
You can do this with a single line batch file like so:
@echo off
for %%a in (d:\raw\*.raw) do if not exist d:\jpg\%%~na.jpg echo del %%a
Remove the word "echo" to activate the batch file.
thanks for that; works beautifully. Although does not work if the file
name
has a space in it but this should not be a problem since the camera
generates file names without spaces,
thanks, Davy
Thanks for the feedback. Did you consider using the standard technique
for dealing with file names that have embedded spaces?
for %%a in (d:\raw\*.raw) do if not exist "d:\jpg\%%~na.jpg" echo del "%%a"
.
