Thanks RoryB

I tested the next script on WindowsPC and WinCE Device Emulator and it's running correctly:

Code:

int=FileModifyTime("\SDMMC\Logfiles\Log.txt")
message (int)

FileModifyTime =FormatTime( "d.m.Y_H.i.s", int +3600)
message (FileModifyTime)

createTime = SystemPath("ScriptPath")\ FileModifyTime&i&".cfg"
sleep (500)

If (FileExists("\SDMMC\Logfiles\Log.txt"))
	Rename ("\SDMMC\Logfiles\Log.txt", createTime, 1)
Endif
sleep (500)

If(NOT DirExists("\SDMMC\Backup"))
	MkDir ("\SDMMC\Backup")
Endif
sleep (500)

If (FileExists("\SDMMC\Logfiles\*.txt"))
	Move ("\SDMMC\Logfiles\*.txt", "\SDMMC\Backup", 1)
EndIf
sleep (500)

Copy( "\SDMMC\Documents\Log.txt", "\SDMMC\Logfiles\Log.txt")
sleep (500)

Exit

But I tested the same script on PNA device with WindowsCE and is not running correctly.

This lines (move all .txt files to backup directory)

Code:

If (FileExists("\SDMMC\Logfiles\*.txt"))
	Move ("\SDMMC\Logfiles\*.txt", "\SDMMC\Backup", 1)
EndIf
sleep (500)

Result: .txt files didn't move to backup directory

It is running only with this lines (move only Log.txt file to backup directory)

Code:

If (FileExists("\SDMMC\Logfiles\Log.txt"))
	Move ("\SDMMC\Logfiles\Log.txt", "\SDMMC\Backup", 1)
EndIf
sleep (500)

I have done tinkered with PNA devices. Is the CE running on them the same as a PDA? I did a quick search and it seems to say the CE running on a PNA has limited access to CE functions. Maybe it does not allow wildcards as a result of this.

Likely but not the same. For PNA device is WinCE and for PDA device is Windows Mobile.

Ok thanks, I keep on looking for a solution.

Do you have any idea how to delete files by date or name?

Example:

My folder contains 10 files created on 1,2.....10 may 2016 and I want to delete the 5 first files created on 1....5 may 2016.

OR

My folder contains 10 files named as 01.05.2016.......10.05.2016 may 2016 and I want to delete the 5 first files named as 1.05.2016.....05.05.2016

i need help

I have used mortscript in the past but was very long ago.

I'm curious if someone would build a script for me and I will gladly pay for it.

I need a script that will allow me to search for a folder
on several hard drive locations.

if it finds the folder.. shows me where it was found.

this is to be used on a windows 7 PC

Maybe just use DOS Batch
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/13876771/find-file-and-return-full-path-using-a-batch-file

MortScript would take too many iterations to go through each subdirectory.

ok rory.

but looking at that im even more lost.

how would I tell it what to search for.

see what I was hoping for is I would run mort or whatever

a window pops up.
I type in the name of the folder I want it to find.

it does its thing.
and when It finds the folder from the various locations.
it would show me the path.
then say continue Y N

in case I wanted it to look for it on a different location.

basically I update files on 10 hard drives.
so I need to find the outdated file.
search these 10 drives.
delete that file.
and then add the updated version.

its a pain to search each hdd. so I thought hmmm mort.

again willing to pay

@ voltagexdt

Not speaking English I do not know if I understood your request : o

If you want to do a manual search, you can use this little app =>nirsoft.net/utils/search_my_files."html"

If it the same file and path every drive, that might be easy enough. I think it would be a difficult series of arrays if you wanted to search the entire hard drive and all subfolders as though you do not know where it is. MortScript does not parse subfolders on its own that I recall.

You could still do what you describe with DOS Batch. I'm busy at the moment, but will try to pull something together if I get a chance.

Is there only one occurrence of the file in each drive?

ok
so basically theres only one occurance period.

so I need to find it from these 10 hard drives and delete it.

basically heres the scoop.

I run a movie server.
I have drive
E:\movies
F:\movies
G:\movies
H:\movies
I:\--MOVIES--
J:\movies
L:\movies
N:\movies

if say the movie aliens is on one of those drives.
but I found a blue ray version of it

I need to search all of those drives looking for Aliens
once located delete it.
so that I can then add Aliens to one of those hard drives.

thus stopping me from having duplicates.

So you are looking in a specific folder for a file. and doing the same for multiple specific folders that happen to be on different drives. That becomes easier for MortScript.

yep as listed above is the exact ones
notice the one has a different folder name
but those are the exact ones

Try this out for rough draft. I am calling it Movie_Search.mscr

Code:

xPaths=array("E:\movies","F:\movies","G:\movies","H:\movies","I:\--MOVIES--","J:\movies","L:\movies","N:\movies")
xFilename=Input( "Enter movie name:", "File Search" ) & ".*"
# The .* I add to search any file type. 
foreach xPath in array(xPaths)
	foreach xfile in files (xPath & xFilename)
		xList=xList & xfile & " " & formattime("m/d/Y h:i:s a", FileModifyTime(xFile)) & "^NL^"
		# message( "Found " & xfile & " " & formattime("m/d/Y h:i:s a", FileModifyTime(xFile)))
	endforeach
endforeach
if (length(xList) > 0)
	message("Found: " & "^NL^" & xlist)
else
	message(xFilename & " not found")
endif

You can search with wild cards so alien* will result in alien, aliens, alien autopsy, etc. If you only search alien it will only find it.

all results are the same

alien.* not found

and all I did was type in alien

this should be looking for folders. yes?

I then removed your wild card and it still doesn't find the folder or file.. even if I type in the exact name
Repo Men (2010).mkv

---------- Post added at 12:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:10 PM ----------

I also wont know the whole name of the folder

example
Fury (2014) is a folder
but I wont remember things like year or what not
so I just need to be able to search Fury.

I'm glad you found something.

BTW you searched alien.* and the script already adds .* to the end of your entry so it searched for alien.*.* and your second try searched alien..*

Lastly I thought all the movies were in the movies folders and not sub-folders under movies. I set up searching for files and it sounds like it should have searched for folders under movies.

Code:

xPaths=array("E:\movies","F:\movies","G:\movies","H:\movies","I:\--MOVIES--","J:\movies","L:\movies","N:\movies")
xFilename="*" & Input( "Enter movie name:", "File Search" ) & "*"
# The * I add before and after to search any folder containing the search string. 
foreach xPath in array(xPaths)
	foreach xfolder in directories(xPath & xFilename)
		xList=xList & xfolder & "^NL^"
                # Cannot get time of folder
		# xList=xList & xfolder & " " & formattime("m/d/Y h:i:s a", FileModifyTime(xfolder )) & "^NL^"
	endforeach
endforeach
if (length(xList) > 0)
	message("Found: " & "^NL^" & xlist)
else
	message(xFilename & " not found")
endif
