batch move wildcard

[gh_speedyg]

I'm really into UFC and I have 5 different UFC shows regularly scheduled on my pvr. All of the shows have UFC somewhere in the title. Is there a way to create a batch file or something to automatticly move all of the files with UFC in the title to 1 folder named UFC on a regular basis, instead of having 5 different folders for all the shows?

not as far as im aware - you would need to write a bat or cmd file to do this - but if you do it then you would also need to modify the database to be able to keep them in the recordings folder - or move them to the video library

I realize that I would loose them from the db, and thats ok. Any idea how I could write a batch to do this, and how to impliment it with gbpvr?

Something like this should work in your PostProcessing.bat file. By the way, I stole this technique from Stattik's transcoding script: http://gbpvr.com/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Utili...anscodeCut

set ufc_folder=c:\ufc
ECHO "%~dpnx1" > "%~dp0temp.txt"
find /i "UFC" "%~dp0temp.txt" > nul && move %1 %ufc_folder%
del "%~dp0temp.txt"

You don't actually have to lose them from the database.

You could use SimpleArchiver to move them.

Alternatively, hunt up the vidimport import tool, add it to the postprocessing.bat that moves them and that will do it too..

You can do the rename right in the batch file as well...

Code:

Echo.
Echo Reset DB Entry...
Echo .echo on                     >  sqlscript.scr
Echo .output stdout               >> sqlscript.scr
Echo UPDATE RECORDING_SCHEDULE    >> sqlscript.scr
Echo    SET filename='%orig_fileloc%' >> sqlscript.scr
Echo  WHERE filename='%new_fileloc%';      >> sqlscript.scr
@ECHO ON
SQLITE3 GBPVR.DB3 < sqlscript.scr
@ECHO OFF

This code generates a sqllite3 scriipt on the fly, then executes it. The %orig_fileloc% is the old filename in format drive:/path/file.exe (substitute your variable), and the %new_fileloc% is the new location in same format.

JavaWiz,

Shouldn't the orig_fileloc and new_fileloc be swapped in this script? I.e. the WHERE clause should be referencing old_fileloc, correct?

ah, you are right. i translated from my exising batch file wrong.

good catch. thanks.
