I am using this batch file to create .m3u playlists but it creates in a single playlist
@echo on
color 0e
echo PLEASE WAIT, BUILDING PLAYLIST FILE, EXCLUDING BAT, TXT, M3U, SRT and JPG FILES
if exist "playlist.m3u" del "playlist.m3u"
Setlocal EnableDelayedExpansion
set "_t0=1"
if "%CD%"=="%CD:~0,3%" set "_t0=0"
for /F "tokens=*" %%A In ('dir %* /a-d /b /on /s ^| %SystemRoot%\System32\findstr.exe /V /I /E /L ".bat .m3u .txt .db .srt .jpg" ^| %SystemRoot%\System32\sort.exe') do (
set "_t1=%%A"
set "_t2=!_t1:%CD%=!"
echo !_t2:~%_t0%!>>playlist.m3u
)
endlocal
this batch file got here Windows Batch Files and "&"
Folder structure with files, example:
20000 Lieus sous les Mers (1988)(Coktel Vision)
20000 Lieus sous les Mers (1988)(Coktel Vision)(fr)(Disk 1 of 2)[CPM Version].dsk
20000 Lieus sous les Mers (1988)(Coktel Vision)(fr)(Disk 2 of 2)[CPM Version].dsk
Zombi (1990)(Ubisoft)
Zombi (1990)(Ubisoft)(fr)(Disk 2 of 2).dsk
Zombi (1990)(Ubisoft)(fr)(Disk 2 of 2).dsk
...etc
Example script output (playlist.m3u):
20000 Lieus sous les Mers (1988)(Coktel Vision)\20000 Lieus sous les Mers (1988)(Coktel Vision)(fr)(Disk 1 of 2)[CPM Version].dsk
20000 Lieus sous les Mers (1988)(Coktel Vision)\20000 Lieus sous les Mers (1988)(Coktel Vision)(fr)(Disk 2 of 2)[CPM Version].dsk
Zombi (1990)(Ubisoft)\Zombi (1990)(Ubisoft)(fr)(Disk 2 of 2).dsk
Zombi (1990)(Ubisoft)\Zombi (1990)(Ubisoft)(fr)(Disk 2 of 2).dsk
etc...
I would like to adapt the batch so that it creates multiples m3u according to the name of the folders, example of playlists:
Folders:
20000 Lieus sous les Mers (1988)(Coktel Vision)
Zombi (1990)(Ubisoft)
etc ...
the batch file would create the m3u playlists
20000 Lieus sous les Mers (1988)(Coktel Vision).m3u
/20000 Lieus sous les Mers (1988)(Coktel Vision)/20000 Lieus sous les Mers (1988)(Coktel Vision)(fr)(Disk 1 of 2)[CPM Version].dsk
/20000 Lieus sous les Mers (1988)(Coktel Vision)/20000 Lieus sous les Mers (1988)(Coktel Vision)(fr)(Disk 2 of 2)[CPM Version].dsk
Zombi (1990)(Ubisoft).m3u
/Zombi (1990)(Ubisoft)/Zombi (1990)(Ubisoft)(fr)(Disk 2 of 2).dsk
/Zombi (1990)(Ubisoft)/Zombi (1990)(Ubisoft)(fr)(Disk 2 of 2).dsk
can you help me?
@echo off
for /d %%A in (*) do @if exist "%%~A\*.dsk" (
for %%B in ("%%~A\*.dsk") do @echo \%%~A\%%~nxB
) > "%%~fA\%%~nxA.m3u"
This script is setup to run in the current working directory of where the subfolders are located.
for /d
will get the subfolders.
The if exist
ensures that *.dsk
files exist before writing a .m3u file.
for
iterates the .dsk files and echoes the path to the .m3u file.
View for /?
about use of modifiers fnx
i.e. %%~fA
is full path and %%~nxA
is name and extension.
The original code looks unsuitable for the task so did code rewrite, not a code adaption.
