I have a .bat file which contains the following command

copy /y "d:\downtime\report.htm" "\\server55\downtime\folder2"

The htm file is recreated every 10 minutes but occasionally the htm file is corrupted and has a filesize of 0, if this occurs i would like to prevent it being copied. Can anyone suggest how i might write something into the batch file to only copy the file of filesize is greater than 0 ?

Any advice appreciated

Cheers

Andy

 

Something like:

FORFILES /P d:\downtime /M report.txt /C "cmd /c if @fsize GEQ 0 copy /y @file \\server55\downtime\folder2"

An extra exit would be needed to end the extra CMD session.

But that's off the top of my head, test it thoroughly!!

 

This command will return the length of the file.

So rather than echo %length%, use the parameter to check if length is 0

for %%a in (report.htm) do (
set length=%%~za
)
echo %length%

 

This has done the job perfectlt - you are da man!

Thanks to you LostUser also.. that may come in useful too.

 

Cool but just realised it should be "GEQ 1" or would also copy a zero size file.

 

Yeah i did realise that when i tested it. Cheers again.
