|
 |
So theres a mame emulator for my GP2X that works without about 2000 roms, but my collection consists of 7000
I have all the file names of the ones that works and I need to make a batch file that'll move them from folder A to folder B

The most straightforward way. Create a file mv.bat, inside the file duplicate the line
MOVE "{Path to file}" "{Target directory}"
for each ROM file
For example:
MOVE "C:\Users\John\Rom 1.rom" "C:\Users\John\Folder 2\"
MOVE "C:\Users\John\Rom 2.rom" "C:\Users\John\Folder 2\"
MOVE "C:\Users\John\Rom 3.rom" "C:\Users\John\Folder 2\"
Just be careful, this will overwrite files at {Target directory}
If you already have the filenames with full path to them it is a very simple regexp replace.
So, if you have something like this
C:\Users\John\Rom 1.rom
C:\Users\John\Rom 2.rom
C:\Users\John\Rom 3.rom
Then, something along this
Find: (.+)
Replace: MOVE "\1" "C:\\Users\\John\\Folder 2\\"
will do the trick in text editor with regexp support.
Or just upload the listing and I could try to do it

He addressed it as a batch file, so 99% he knows that |

adding all those thousands that do work by hand into the bat file is prob same time it take to Select click batches of them and drag them over yourself.
that is if he dont have it listed already in txt format for the filenames.

what you mean back talking you spykes... if you mean back chatting (giving grief) no lol, im being serious,, I just couldnt see a batchfile doing that easy for you unless u were able to mass rename the files as well to something simple...
but as you said you need to seperate them from a total of 7000 was it, then im guessing here that there would be 7000 diff names of games there...and you would need to differentiate between what games were working and not, therefor needing diff names.

or he could use Cathy http://www.mtg.sk/rva/ a listing program to list the rom directory output in into txt, edit the unneeded files add "move" and "target" ... a 15 min job mr.loudmouthpartypopper

If you haven't got it sorted out I can quickly make a little proggy where you select a folder and a filename txt file and it separates those files to another folder.
