Windows 7 - Find all files that are alone in a folder
$src = "G:\temp"
$target = "G:\notalone"
if (Test-Path $src)
{
$folders = Get-ChildItem $src -Recurse | ?{ $_.PSIsContainer }
foreach($folder in $folders)
{
$fc = Get-ChildItem $folder.FullName | ?{!$_.PSIsContainer} | Measure-Object | Select-Object -Expand Count
if ($fc -eq 1)
{
$file = Get-ChildItem $folder.FullName | ?{!$_.PSIsContainer} | Select-Object
Write-Host "Moving " $file.FullName " to " $target
Move-Item $file.FullName $target
}
}
}
This should work in Powershell, replace src and target. If you have the same filenames, it will not overwrite. You can add force to Move-Item to make that happen.
This could probably be condensed, I'm novice with powershell.
@echo off
Setlocal EnableDelayedExpansion
SET ROOT_FOLDER=C:\TEST 1
SET TARGET_FOLDER=C:\TEST 2
FOR /D %%G IN ("%ROOT_FOLDER%"\*) do (
CD %%G
FOR /f %%A in ('dir ^| find "File(s)"') do (
set cnt=%%A
Echo %%G : !cnt!
IF !cnt! == 1 (
move /-y "*.*" "%TARGET_FOLDER%"
)
)
)
This Batch will look inside C:\TEST 1
sub folders an count files. once it finds a lonely file it'll move it to C:\TEST 2
. it will also ask for overwrite in case file name already exist.
Replace C:\TEST 1
and C:\TEST 2
with your own values.
you can add pause
at end of the batch to read the files count echo'ed by it.
