File Listing By Exception?

[philg]

Hi all

This is really a DOS question (remember that!)

I have copied thousands of digital photos from a usb drive to a NAS and find (with DOS dir) that I have MORE files in the target folders than I started with!

It's probably because there's some garbage other than .jpg files lying around, but I am having trouble reconciling the file counts

What I'd LIKE to do, is do a recursive directory listing of all files that do NOT have a .jpg extenstion - but can't figure out how to do it

Any suggestions?

Cheers

DOS is still very useful! From the root directory, use this command:

dir /s | findstr /vi ".jpg"

/s = include all subdirectories, /vi = exclude the given string and not be case-sensitive.

That should show everything in every folder that doesn't have .jpg in the filename.

If you'd previously viewed the files on a Windows machine, you probably have a Thumbs.db file in each folder.
