Sh to Batch convertion

Uhh, I have no idea what that means, but if you tell me what you're trying to accomplish, I can write it in VBS..

yes vbs also Ok for me.

Sorry for not clarifying it properly. What I wanted is to convert the functionality of the given sh file into a bat script so that i can run it in windows env.
What i didnt want is putting something like cygwin or using any tool like forfiles.exe to determine what files are 15days old.

BTW I'm OK if you can provide me a vbs for the same sh.

Umm, ok, perhaps I wasn't clear.  I'm a Wintel guy, through and through.  I have no idea what that shell script does.  If you can tell me what you are trying to accomplish, e.g. what the script should do, then I'll write a fresh one in VBS.


Thanks,

The vbs script should search & find *.aud, *.trc, alert*.backup, core* & alert*.log files in a particular directory and sub directories and delete which ever are older than 15days.

and move latest 4 alert*log backedup to a new name with date it got renamed.
like alert_abc.log to alert_abc_01_July_2010_12_22PM.log.backup
      alert_def.log to alert_def_01_July_2010_12_22PM.log.backup
     alert_ghi.log to alert_ghi_01_July_2010_12_22PM.log.backup

Hi rsk_86,

This is not to do in batch. Since you're a UNIX guy, you might be familiar with awk. I have attached a windows version of it which runs upto window 7 64 bits. You could use this to write a awk scrip that does the trick.

In the mean time II'll have a go at creating a bacht script, but I can't promise the complete functonallity of your shell script.

Thanks CvD

But as I mentioned earlier i dont want to have any third party tools installed/copied to my servers.
So I need it in pure batch or VBS.

Could you explain a bit on what you mean by this:


and move latest 4 alert*log backedup to a new name with date it got renamed.
like alert_abc.log to alert_abc_01_July_2010_12_22PM.log.backup
      alert_def.log to alert_def_01_July_2010_12_22PM.log.backup
     alert_ghi.log to alert_ghi_01_July_2010_12_22PM.log.backup

Does this mean move the 4 most recently modified files into a folder, or just rename any files that match alert*log and leave them in the same directory.

Yes. just rename 4 most recently modified files that match alert*log and leave them in the same directory.

Can we just rename any files matching alert*log, or does it need to be only the latest 4?

If its the latest 4 only, then it will be quite a complex script.

Ok,

Here is what I came up with after browsing the www a bit and adding some modifications to what I found..

This is non-destructive code, it will display what would have happened. Change :

if !epoch! LEQ %slice% (echo DELETE %%f ^(%%~tf^)) ELSE echo keep %%f ^(%%~tf^)

to something like :

if !epoch! LEQ %slice% del /f /q %%f

@echo off

if "%1x"=="x" goto errorParam
if "%2x"=="x" goto errorParam

setlocal ENABLEDELAYEDEXPANSION
set day=86400
set /a year=day*365
set /a strip=day*%1
set dSource=%2

call :epoch %date%
set /a slice=(epoch-strip)

for /f "delims=" %%f in ('dir /a-d-h-s-l /b /s %dSource%') do (
    call :epoch %%~tf
    if !epoch! LEQ %slice% (echo DELETE %%f ^(%%~tf^)) ELSE echo keep %%f ^(%%~tf^)
)
goto EndOfScript

:errorParam
echo Usage %0 Days Directory_Full_Path

:EndOfScript
exit /b 0

:epoch
    setlocal ENABLEDELAYEDEXPANSION
    for /f "tokens=1,2,3 delims=-" %%d in ('echo %1') do set Years=%%d& set Months=%%e& set Days=%%f
    set /a Leap=0
    if (Month GEQ 2 and ((Years%4 EQL 0 and Years%100 NEQ 0) or Years%400 EQL 0)) set /a Leap=day
    if "!Months:~0,1!"=="0" set Months=!Months:~1,1!
    if "!Days:~0,1!"=="0" set Days=!Days:~1,1!
    set /a Days=Days*day
    set i=1&& for %%m in (31 28 31 30 31 30 31 31 30 31 30 31) do if !i! LSS !Months! (set /a _months=!_months! + %%m*day&& set /a i+=1)
    set /a Months=!_months!+Leap
    set /a Years=(Years-1970)*year
    set /a Epoch=(Years+Months+Days)*-1
    endlocal& set Epoch=%Epoch%
    exit /b 0

Oops, submitted to soon.

I need to tweak it a bit, to suit your exact need, but would you please test it on your server. If it basically does the trick. In the mean time I'll continue.

Thanks guys
