Presence of several files (or shares)

[AlexL]

I need to check, preferably in one single test, if several specific files are present, and send a mail with the names of the missing files.

For one single file I am using the Folder/File Availability test. What would you suggest for several - a dozen - files.

Thanks
Alex

Hm. Interesting request
I think, you may use Shell script test method.

To make it work you should write cmd script as combination of "for", "find" and "dir" commands.

I think, you should create a text file, that would contain the mandatory present filenames. Then you should loop over each file name in that file using "for" command:

Code: Select all

for /f "eol=; tokens=*" %%i in ('type list.txt') do (
   DIR %specific_Folder% | find %%i > NUL
   IF ERRORLEVEL 1 (
      echo %%1 >> missed_files.log  
   )
)

rem Now we should check if missed_files.log is not empty
type missed_files.log > NUL
IF ERRORLEVEL 1 (
   ScriptRes:Ok:Ok
) ELSE (
   ScriptRes:Bad:Bad
)

Also you should assign Send-email action to "Bad" action profile. In mail template you may use <<IncludeFile=missed_files.log>> syntax to unclude missed_files.log as attachment.

Of course, foregoing script was written as an example, and may not work, but you may adjust it on your own.
