如何连接Windows批处理文件的命令输出

Question

I'm writing a Windows batch file that will purge logs older than 90 days. How can I concatenate the outputs of the commands so that they appear in one line? I also want to append this output to a file later. My batch file so far is:

@echo off    
time /t && echo "--" && date /t && echo " -I- Purging " && FORFILES /P "D:\Logs" /M *.log /D -90 /C "cmd /c echo @file @fdate"
rem FORFILES that will purge the files

and this outputs:

12:08
--
14/08/2012
 -I- Purging

"<filename>" 02/08/2012
"<filename>" 30/07/2012

How can I concatenate these outputs? Thanks.

Putting everything on one line except for the FOR output is easy. You just need to use the dynamic %TIME% and %DATE% variables instead of the TIME and DATE commands

@echo off    
echo %time% "--" %date% -I- Purging 
FORFILES /P "D:\Logs" /M *.log /D -90 /C "cmd /c echo @file @fdate"
rem FORFILES that will purge the files

If you also want the file names to appear on the same line, then you can use a temp variable as EitanT suggested. But that limits the number of files to what can fit in the max 8191 variable size. To process an unlimited number of files you can use SET /P instead. It doesn't seem like the FOR /F statement should be necessary, but there is a quoting issue that I couldn't solve without it.

@echo off
<nul (
  set/p="%time% -- %date% -I- Purging "
  for /f "delims=" %%A in (
    'FORFILES /P "D:\Logs" /M *.log /D -90 /C "cmd /c echo @file @fdate"'
  ) do set/p="%%A "
)
rem FORFILES that will purge the files

There is no reason not to purge the files at the same time that you are listing them. Since FORFILES is so slow, it would be much more efficient to purge and list in the same command.

@echo off
<nul (
  set/p="%time% -- %date% -I- Purging "
  for /f "delims=" %%A in (
    'FORFILES /P "D:\Logs" /M *.log /D -90 /C "cmd /c del @path&echo @file @fdate"'
  ) do set/p="%%A "
)

I figured out a solution without using FOR /F. I use 0x22 to enclose the SET /P prompt in quotes, and I use FINDSTR to eliminate the empty line that FORFILES writes before any requested output.

@echo off
<nul (
  set/p="%time% -- %date% -I- Purging "
  forfiles /p "d:\logs" /m *.log /d -90 /c "cmd /c del @path&set/p=0x5e0x22@file @fdate 0x5e0x22"'|findstr .
)

If you want to concatenate the lines in the output, you can set CMD_STR to be your desired command, and use a for /f loop, like so:

@echo off
setlocal enabledelayedexpansion
set "CMD_STR=time /t && echo "--" && date /t && echo " -I- Purging " && FORFILES /P "D:\Logs" /M *.log /D -90 /C "cmd /c echo @file @fdate""
set CONCAT_STR=
for /f %%i in ('%CMD_STR%') do set "CONCAT_STR=!CONCAT_STR! %%i"
echo !CONCAT_STR!

The loop iterates through the lines of the output and appends them one by one to CONCAT_STR .
