Hi all - Need a little help. Attempting to write a batch file to check for and delete multiple files, outputting to a log file after anything is found. Here's what I have so far: echo off setLocal EnableDelayedExpansion echo Checking for files >> C:\found.log for /f "tokens=* delims= " %%a in (list.txt) do ( set /a N+=1 set f!N!=%%a if exist f!N! echo f!N! was found >> C:\found.log the phrase "checking for files" gets appended to the log, but it never lists any files it may have found. I want to get this part up and running before I add in the delete command. Where am I going wrong?

I don't know what you have planned for f!N! but to check for the existence of a file in the lilst: for /f "tokens=* delims= " %%a in (list.txt) do ( if exist %%a echo %%a was found >> C:\found.log ) ===================================== If at first you don't succeed, you're about average. M2

Thank you. Just what I was looking for. :)
