Find missing files
« on: April 18, 2021, 07:04:23 pm »
Hi,

I have some directories with lots of pdf-files like this:
10001.pdf
10002.pdf
10003.pdf
10005.pdf
The files are supposed to be consecutively numbered and this case only four files in the directory and it's easy to see that 10004.pdf is missing.
However, in a directory with thousands of files it's hard to manually find the missing ones.

Does anyone know of a program that takes "start file number ie. 10001.pdf" and "end file number ie. 10500.pdf" as
parameters and lists the missing ones?

Unfortunately, it appears that Seek and Scan does not recognize wildcards.

However, using using SearchPlus by Keith Merrington, I had no problem finding a file(s) named as such with the following parameters.

1000*.pdf

Most likely you have to script that. Not too difficult. May even possible with a non-REXX and non-4OS2 script.

Thanks guys,

David;
I need to find out which files are missing so I think the parameter 1000*.pdf would simply list files numbered
10001.pdf up to 10009.pdf and not tell me that ie. 10004.pdf is missing

Andreas:
I believe REXX can do it, (but can I do it? ;) )

OK, I'll try that. I guess that might be useful, it works on one dir only:

Parameters: <Dir> <StartName> <EndName> <LogFile>

Hello

The easiest wat yo find your files is to use a "standard" DIR command like this:
"DIR C:\1000*.PDF /S"

You may use the "*" to generalise the search more if you like.  This command is found in the HELP pages fir the DIR command.  I fins that it is extremely fast.  If the list is of found files is very long, just use the "less" command like this:
"DIR C:\1000*.PDF /S | less"

Regards / John

You will need a REXX script. Use the "dir" command with the filename sorting option and pipe the command output into RXQUEUE. Then, set a counter to 1 and then, going through all files, construct an expected filename from the counter value and compare to real filename. If no match, issue warning. Increase counter by one and go to next file.

Here's my script, roughly tested:

Code: [Select]
/****************************************************************************
* findmissingfilenames.cmd
*
* Version: 2024-04-21
*
* Syntax: findmissingfilenames <filemask> <startnum> <endnum> [<logfile>]
*
* o  <filemask> must have a part with '???' chars, where the amount of it
*    depends on the range <startnum> to <endnum>.
* o  <filemask> may include a path.
* o  <startnum> and <endnum> must be numbers.
* o  <logfile> may optionally be specified. The default <logfile> is
*    'missing.log'.
* o  Every arg may be surrounded with double quotes.
*
* Examples:
*    findmissingfilenames 1????.pdf 1 500
*    findmissingfilenames 10???.pdf 1 500

You're welcome.

That's almost the style from Christian. In 2002 and a few years later I had the chance to work on the same project with him and had learned a lot about programming styles and projects.
