New wiki entry: RecoverRecordings

FYI

When I was playing around with this, I had to change the following
from:

Code:

FOR /R %~dp0 %%f IN (*.mpg *.ts *.dvr-ms *.avi) DO (call :extract "%%~f")

to:

Code:

FOR /R [color=Red][B]"[/B][/color]%~dp0[color=red][B]"[/B][/color] %%f IN (*.mpg *.ts *.dvr-ms *.avi) DO (call :extract "%%~f")

since my recordings are in a directory with a space (F:\Data Files\Recordings). In case you can't see the difference, I added quotes around the "%~dp0" near the beginning. I tried to use red & bold, but it is still really hard to see.

Nice tool. Not only is it really useful, but I always learn little tricks from your code like putting ^ in front of < and > to escape them.

good catch, i forgot that using the ~ removes any quotes that exist, and not too many use spaces in their root recording dir names..

i think i'll go back to the original one for defaults, cuz it's much more reliable...
and it's really easy to search/replace with notepad after wards to edit paths..
too bad notepad can't be scripted w/batch...lol

yea, finding the ^> ^< etc was really helpfull...
but look out for those first lines of .xml files...it's got a hidden attribute that's impossible to capture if you read it...why i skip that line and write it out myself..

btw, i have a batch to use from video library to import single shows like this..
very useful in 2 pvr houses...
