Short but sweet code, drag and drop a mess of programs and the code organizes the programs by their extensions.

Code

@echo off & setlocal EnableDelayedExpansion
for %%A in (%*) do (
set /a x+=1
set prog!x!=%%A
set progext!x!=%%~xA
)
for /l %%A in (1,1,!x!) do (
if "!progext%%A!"=="" set progext%%A=Folders
if not exist "%cd%\!progext%%A!" md "%cd%\!progext%%A!"
for /l %%B in (%%A,1,!x!) do (
if exist "!prog%%B!" if "!progext%%A!"=="!progext%%B!" move !prog%%B! !progext%%A!
))
cls & echo Finished. Cleaned !x! Programs up.
Pause > nul

Merry Christmas 🤝

Just taking a quick glance through it, I've got a small suggestion. You should take a look at using a standard FOR loop (no extra switches) to loop over %* It has all the arguments already, so you don't need to shift for each one.

I'll look into it in the morning, way too tired to function right now

I've been trying to use the standard for loop but I keep getting errors when I try to loop through the extensions

Code

for %%A in (%~x*) do set /a "y+=1" & set "progext!x!=%%A"

but when I do(below) it works, keep in mind I need to grab the extension since the program organizes based off the extension.

Code

for %%A in (%*) do set /a "x+=1" & set "prog!x!=%%A"

can someone point out my mistake?

As far as I can tell, you need to loop through %*, not %~x*, and from there you would do %%~xA...

Ex:

Code

FOR %%G IN (%*) DO (
  ECHO %%~xG
)

As 0xDEAD10CC said, you should loop through %* and then use the x modifier on each individual result. There's no way for the script to natively use modifiers on %* without first parsing through the individual parameters.

Fixed. Thanks for the help guys

I'm new to coding can you tell me exactly what this is suppost to do? i ran it and it said applications cleaned so i guess it work

it organizes them by filetype, so all like filetypes are grouped up.

Click and drag the programs you want to be cleaned onto the batch file

[Lightning827]

you should mabey add a for loop to this

Awesome demo gif. :> Very good to show people how it works!
