China DOS Union

Originally, I planned to use the for command to delete all *.info files on the disk. The batch commands used were:

for /r %%a in (c: d: e: f:) do tree /f > 1.txt
for %%a in (1.txt) do del *.info

But the *.info files were automatically given the hidden attribute. I don't know how to handle this. I'm asking everyone for help. Thanks!

I initially used for /r %%a in (c: d: e: f:) do attrib -h *.info, but when I ran it, I found that it only modified the info files in the current directory. If I changed it to for /r %%a in (c: d: e: f:) do attrib -h *.info %%a, it would prompt a parameter error. I'm just learning batch processing and don't understand the commands well. Please give me your advice. Thanks again!

The landlord refers to all hidden files, which is said to be very vague. Do you mean you want to remove the attributes of all hidden files on the hard disk, or do you mean to remove the attributes of all hidden files in a partition? Or something else?

Sorry, I accidentally pressed Ctrl+Enter to send it while editing just now, and it wasn't finished yet. Sorry

It worked, lxmxn is really amazing!
First time I came across the wmic command, just looked it up today and got a good gain again, thanks to lxmxn!
Also, I don't understand the usage of skip here, ask for advice, thanks!

Oh, got it, thank you lxmxn ^_^

Powerful! I rarely see this command too. There was also once when I saw lxmxn post it, which was to find out how many partitions there are on the computer.

The DOS forum is really "full of great people"! With just this one line of command, you can traverse all files in all drives on the computer.

lxmxn Can you explain the meaning of 'wmic logicaldisk where "drivetype='3'" get caption' for me? I only know that logicaldisk seems to mean logical disk, and I don't know the rest. What kind of command is this? I learned a little bit of DOS basics a long time ago, and I don't seem to have come across this command. I looked at the help, but some things are not very understandable.

　　Re oilio:

The command 'wmic logicaldisk where "drivetype='3'" get caption' here is used to obtain the drive letters of disk drives. Here, where acts as a filter, and drivetype=3 specifies to filter drive types with the code 3. Of course, there are other types, such as 2 for floppy disk drives, 3 for disk drives, and 5 for CD-ROM drives. Since 3 is specified here, the command will give the drive letters of all hard disk drives;

Here, get is a verb. In WMIC, it represents obtaining the property of an alias. Caption is a property of the logicaldisk alias, and its property value is exactly the drive letter of the drive;

Logicaldisk has many other properties, such as DeviceID, DriveType, FreeSpace, ProviderName, Size, VolumeName, etc. These properties can be obtained using the get verb. The specific command help can be obtained by entering the command wmic logicaldisk get /?.

It is recommended that you search for the previous moderator version 3724668's usage of WMIC commands. I am also just learning and don't understand very well. Please forgive any errors, brother.

lxmxn you are so great
that command is so useful

Well, okay, thank you, Brother lxmln. I'll go study it. It feels like this command is quite useful. Learned something.

That's amazing! I haven't seen this command before. I've learned something new again.
