Windows batch file to create csv list of file and dates

Question

I need to create a Windows batch file that generates a .csv file with three fields for all the files in a directory (minus the batch file itself!).

Fields:

Answer 1

A one-line PowerShell command to write directory listing to CSV

Answer 2

try this:

@ECHO OFF &SETLOCAL
(FOR /f "delims=" %%a IN ('dir /b /a-d') DO (
    FOR /f "tokens=1-3*" %%x IN ('dir /a-d /tc "%%~a"^|findstr "^[0-9]"') DO (
        ECHO "%%a",%%~ta,%%x %%y %%z
    )
))>DIR.csv
TYPE DIR.csv

Answer 3

I had a requirement to read the number of lines in two files and output to a csv file.

@ECHO OFF
cd "D:\CSVOutputPath\"
echo Process started, please wait...
echo FILENAME,FILECOUNT> SUMMARY.csv
for /f %%C in ('Find /V /C "" ^< "D:\Trial\Salary.txt"') do set Count=%%C
echo Salary,%Count%>> SUMMARY.csv
for /f %%C in ('Find /V /C "" ^< "D:\Trial\Tax.txt"') do set Count=%%C
echo Tax,%Count%>> SUMMARY.csv

The > will overwrite the existing content of the file and the >> will append the new data to existing data

Answer 4

Something like this might work:

@echo off

setlocal EnableDelayedExpansion

(
  echo "Name","Modification Time","Creation Time"
  for %%f in (*) do (
    set "name=%%~nxf"
    if not "!name!"=="%~nx0" (
      set "mtime=%%~tf"
      for /f "tokens=1-3" %%d in (
        'dir /t:c "!name!" ^| find /i "!name!"'
      ) do set "ctime=%%~d %%~e %%~f"
      echo "!name!","!mtime!","!ctime!"
    )
  )
) > output.csv

Answer 5

Here is a command line one liner that does not include the newly create list file in the list:

(for /f "tokens=1-4*" %A in ('dir /a-d /tc^|findstr "^[0-9]"') do @if "%E" neq "FileList.csv" echo "%E",%A %B %C,%~tE)>"FileList.csv"

Here is a batch script that does not include itself or the newly created list file:

@echo off
>"FileList.csv" (
  for /f "tokens=1-4*" %%A in (
    'dir /a-d /tc^|findstr "^[0-9]"'
  ) do if "%~f0" neq "%%~fE" if "%%E" neq "FileList.csv" echo "%%E",%%A %%B %%C,%%~tE
)
