search for folders that contain 3 or more files with the same extension

[rockberto]

Hi to everyone.
There's a way in Total Commander to search folders that contain 3 (or more) files with the same extension?
for example I want to search for all folders that have at least 3 .flac files
thanx in advance

search folders that contain 3 (or more) files with the same extension?

Not with TC alone.

I took a look and came up with this:

Open a PowerShell console in the "main"-folder.


Try something like this:

Instead, better see below the post by NotNull
gci -dir -rec | ?{$_.GetFiles('*.flac').Count -gt 2} | select -exp FullName | Set-Content C:\Temp\_myLoadlist.txt

my code deleted

$FOLDERS = Get-ChildItem d:\directory | ?{$_.PSISContainer}
or
$FOLDERS = GCI -Recurse | ?{$_.PSISContainer} # the current folder


Next paste in:

Code: Select all

$OUT=''
ForEach ($FLD in $FOLDERS){
	Set-Location $FLD.FullName
	"`n`nDEBUG FOLDER: $($FLD.FullName) "
	GCI -File | Group -Property Extension |
		Select-Object Name, Count |
			ForEach{if ($_.Name -eq '.flac' -AND $_.Count -gt 2){"YES"; $OUT+=$($FLD.FullName)+"`r`n"}}
}
"`n`nRESULT:`n$OUT"

EXPORT the result to a text file:
$OUT | Set-Content C:\Temp\_myLoadlist.txt
[/color]

Next use TC's LOADLIST to load that list of folders into TC.
For more details about this LOADLIST see:

As I just learned today, you can use the FileMask plugin http://www.mgpsoft.net/Downloads/FileMask.zip for such a task.

You will have to add the extension you want to search for to the [DirMask] section of the FileMask.ini file in the plugin folder - like this:

Code: Select all

[DirMask]
Flac=*.flac

You can then use the Plugins tab in TC's Find Files dialog:
Plugin: filemask
Property: DirMask
OP: >=
Value: 3 [Flac]

Leave the "Search for:" field blank in the General tab.

Do you have Everything 1.5 installed and configured to work with Total Commander?

In that case, search for

Code: Select all

ed:  child:*.flac  child-occurrence-count:>2

It will list all folders below the active folder that contain 3 or more .flac files.

(can't test it atm, but should work)

[..]PowerShell[..]

Alternative:

Code: Select all

gci -Directory -Recurse | Where { $_.GetFiles('*.flac').Count -gt 2 } | select FullName

[Fla$her]

child-occurrence-count

I found it only here. Why doesn't the author update the options in the help?

Alternative:

Code: Select all

gci -Directory -Recurse | Where { $_.GetFiles('*.flac').Count -gt 2 } | select FullName

WOW thanks

That's not an alternative, but the real way of doing this task.



I never noticed that "GetFiles"

Works fine

1)
gci -dir -rec | ?{$_.GetFiles('*.TxT').Count -gt 2} | select -exp FullName | Set-Content C:\Temp\_myLoadlist.txt

2)
use TCs LOADLIST
LOADLIST C:\Temp\_myLoadlist.txt
and then Ctrl+T to double the search result

Just sharing .. found out about it a couple of weeks ago, so you're not alone in that

sorry for the delay in replying. We have had a busy period and I have not been able to use the computer. In the meantime, thanks for your answers, tomorrow we will be back up and running and I will do all the tests with your suggestions. Thanks!
