I have following script to loop through specific type of files and get information about date
and time
of their creation:
@echo off
setlocal
call :getCreationInfo
cmd /k
:getCreationInfo
for /f "skip=5 tokens=1,2,4,5* delims= " %%a in ('dir /a:-d /o:d /t:c *.bak') do (
if "%%~c" NEQ "bytes" (
echo(
@echo File Name: %%~d
@echo Absolute Path: %%~fd
@echo Creation Date: %%~a
@echo Creation Time: %%~b
echo(
)
)
But how do I order this list in descending, like latest created file first and then the next created file and then the next and store these in an array ?
I am stuck in this ordering thing, hoping anyone to help me out here.
Put a hyphen in the order clause as in /o:-d instead of /o:d. This worked for me in the command prompt screen.
Try this link for putting the results in an array: Create list or arrays in Windows Batch
@echo off
setlocal
call :getCreationInfo
cmd /k
:getCreationInfo
for /f "skip=5 tokens=1,2,4,5* delims= " %%a in ('dir /a:-d /o:-d /t:c *.bak') do (
if "%%~c" NEQ "bytes" (
echo(
@echo File Name: %%~d
@echo Absolute Path: %%~fd
@echo Creation Date: %%~a
@echo Creation Time: %%~b
echo(
)
)
