Can I shut down echo for this "for" cycle inputed from cmd?
cmd, windows
Solution
`@` suppresses the output for one command. So the following does what you want:
for /r %F in (*) do @if %~zF==0 @del "%F"
To show (only) the files that were deleted:
for /r %F in (*) do @if %~zF==0 del "%F" & echo removed %F
Problem
I was trying to use this excellent answer. Is there a way to have ONE command line that executes the following (delete all files of size zero) without printing any output? ``` for /r %F in (*) do if %~zF==0 del "%F" ``` (It shows all the expanded commands, also when the size is not zero) I have tried to use How to redirect stderr to null in cmd.exe, (trying >, 1> and 2>) with no avail...
