Batch File that analyze and present data from csv files - csv

Question

I want to create a .bat file that will present the last row of every .csv files that the file name start with "Togo".
The batch file will be located in the same folder as the .csv files.
To output should be the:
[File Name]
[Last Row Data]
This batch file should always run and test the .csv files every 5 minutes.

SO is not a free code-writing service. Your question is likely to be deleted or closed since you have not shown any attempt to solve your problem.
That having been said, it's difficult to start in batch, so here's a solution.
#ECHO OFF
SETLOCAL ENABLEDELAYEDEXPANSION
SET "sourcedir=U:\sourcedir\t w o"
FOR /f "delims=" %%a IN (
'dir /b /a-d "%sourcedir%\togo*.csv" '
) DO (
FOR /f "usebackqdelims=" %%q IN ("%sourcedir%\%%a") DO SET "line=%%q"
ECHO %%a !line!
)
GOTO :EOF
The first two lines turn off batch's debugging display (show-the-command, then execute it) and invoke a mode where access to variables that have changed within a "code block" (parenthesised series of commands) is enabled (normally, it's disabled and only the value at the time the if (or whatever) is encountered is available.)
Line 3 sets a variable called sourcedir and assigns it a value. The enclosing quotes ensure that trailing spaces are not included in the value assigned. I've deliberately used a directoryname that includes spaces because that's a common problem and it proves the batch in my test regime. Your directoryname would be different - simply substitute that. The directoryname . means "the current directory"
Lines 4-6 could be combined to one - just stylistics. It means "perform a directory scan, no directory names (/a-d) in basic form (/b) that is, names-only, of the directory whose name is in the variable sourcedir and whose names fit the pattern togo*.csv. Process each resultant line by ignoring the default delimiters and assigning the result (ie the entire line of the directory list, ie the filenames) to the metavariable (loop-control variable) %%a.
The next line reads each line of the file built from the source-directory name and the filename currently in %%a. delims is set to nothing so the entire line will be assigned to the metavariable %%q and the usebackq option tells cmd that the parenthesised string is a quoted-filename, not a string (or a single-quoted command-to-be-executed as in the first for.) the variable line will then be set with each successive line from the file, so ;ine will have the last line from the file when the for...%%q... ends.
The following line show the filename in %%a and the text from the last line of that file in line.
Note the difference - %%x to access the contents of a metavariable, %var% to access the contents of a variable, but !var! to access the changed value (if delayedexpansion has been invoked).
The goto :eof means "go to the physical end-of-file" CMD understands :eof to mean "physical end-of-file"
So - cut-and-paste to a file named whatever.bat and then run by simply entering
*whatever*
In general,
for /?
will yield help for the for command, and this holds for most batch commands. Look on SO for thousands of examples.
