Dos bat check file size

Improve this answer. Anders Anders Can you explain how the "usebackq" option helps? It doesn't seem to have anything to do with file size, but if I remove it, it stops working — JoelFan. Hi Anders Can you let me know how I can do the same when I have multiple files in a sequence.

Like I want to set if my file is less than 2kb then move it to a diff folder?. My result should test each file in the path and validate.

Side note: you should check if the file exists, before. Otherwise the file size will simply be an empty string Never mind Stephen Quan Stephen Quan I prefer to use a DOS function.

Feels cleaner to me. Those are features of Windows cmd. They're completely different — phuclv. Except for the nit about not being DOS. This is the cleanest solution. HerdplattenToni HerdplattenToni 2 2 silver badges 5 5 bronze badges. As usual, VBScript is available for you to use Echo objFS.

That is because your brain has been corrupted by "array-think" probably learned in some lame "learn to be be an admin" class or in a programing calss at you local junior college.

Arrays have not been taught as a good solution for years. Go to a shrink and have your brain purged of arrays then relearn how to write a program. Take some aspirin and things will eventually settle down. We cannot have too many brain farts. They are very messy. Note also that it is a bad idea to use "copy" or "move" for batch file names.

Lots of people have fallen into this trap: They type "copy" and the command prompt and execute their own batch file instead of the native copy command. This is not a homework problem.
