Batch file to Sort and Move specific files by identifying word inside

[val5662]

Hi All...
I will explain what I need in as much detail as possible.
I need a batch file to move specific files into a separate folder,possibly by opening my hex editor,searching for the word "body" ( without the quotes ) and if found ,close hex editor,move file to a folder called "moved" ,then go on to the next one.If the word "body" is not found just close hex editor and ignore the file.
I have approx 900 files in a folder.One is a vehicle and one is a map for a game.They are mixed together and the only way of telling them apart is by opening each one with my hex editor and search for the word "body",which means it is a vehicle.If the "body" word is not found,it is a map.Example wording of the files: mapname.idf carname.idf
Manually this process would take hours,even days.
It would be a lot better if there is a way of doing this without using the hex editor/batch idea.
Here is a link to one map and one vehicle file if needed for an example:

Thanks a bunch for your help!

All files are in 1 folder now? If so tell me the folder name plz.

insanefiles

insanefiles

so you want to move all files in folder "insanefiles" (not it's subfolders!) which has text "body" inside. Correct?
To which folder do you want to move them?
Please post complete source folder and destination folder. Then I can make a batch file

Insanefiles folder has 900 dot idf ( .idf ) extension files with naturally a different prefix on each.Example > anyname1.idf and anyname2.idf
If opened with a hex editor and search for the word body , only the vehicle idf has that word inside that idf file.
I want a batch file I can place inside the insanefiles folder that can be run and detect the body word inside the idf files,then move all those idf files into a folder inside the insanefiles folder named moved.The idf files that did not have the body word inside would be left alone,because a map idf file does not have the word body inside the idf file.
Thanks!

This has be done once? Or should it be a perfect batch script?

 

[Kaktussoft]

Step 1: Create the folder called moved as subfolder.
Step 2: Open notepad and paste this code inside:

@echo off
for /f %%i in ('findstr /i /m "body" *.idf') do echo move "%%i" moved
pause

Save it and call the file movebody.cmd. Put the file in same folder as the *.idf files.
Step 3: Doubleclick on movebody.cmd. You see something like:
move somefile.idf moved
move someotherfile.idf moved
???
somefile.idf and someotherfile.idf are the correct files to move?
Remove the word "echo" inside the cmd file and run it again. Files are indeed moved? Run it again.... no files moved?

Thanks....I had to modify it like below and it worked but now I have a new problem.
A lot of these idf files have the word body with caps like Body or BODY and the code below just ignores those files.
How can I modify this code to make it NOT case sensitive?
Thanks again!

@echo off
md moved
for /f "eol=: delims=" %%F in ('findstr /m body *.idf') do @move "%%F" moved >nul
pause

Excuse me for jumping in but I noticed Kaktussoft was offline.

Add /i to the findstr command. So your example above would change to:

('findstr /m /i body *.idf')

Thanks Tookeri........

That worked liked a charm!
I appreciate it,both of you guys!
