Compare files from two folders using HASH SHA1 in

Question

I have this batch code but it is wrong, what I need is to see on screen the name of the files in folder2 that are not in folder1 comparing them with your HASH SHA1. Temporary files are in the same directory. I appreciate your comments

@echo off
cd folder1
FOR /F "Delims=" %%A in ('DIR /B/A-D *.*') DO (
    certUtil -hashfile "%%A" SHA1 | findstr /VI "HASH"| findstr /VI "certutil"
) >>folder2\output.tmp

cd folder2
FOR /F "Delims=" %%B in ('DIR /B/A-D *.* ^|Findstr /VEIL ".tmp"') DO (
    certUtil -hashfile "%%B" SHA1 | findstr /VI "HASH"| findstr /VI "certutil" >>output2.tmp
    FOR /F "Delims=" %%C in ('TYPE output2.tmp^|findstr /XLIV /G:output.tmp') DO (echo "%%B") 
)

Answer 1

• certutil hash has no colon the other lines do.
• a file with only hashes doesn't make sense without the corresponding file
• the following batch creates hash filename pairs for both folders
• additionally each hash from folder2 is checked if present in folder1 - if not it is echoed to the screen.

@echo off
Set Dir1=A:\
Set Dir2=Q:\Test\2017\08\03\

PushD "%Dir1%"
(FOR /F "Delims=" %%A in ('DIR /B/A-D *.*'
 ) DO For /f "delims=" %%B in (
 'certUtil -hashfile "%%A" SHA1 ^| findstr /V ":"'
 ) Do Echo %%B %%~fA
)> "%Dir2%\output1.tmp"
PopD

PushD "%Dir2%"
Type Nul >output2.tmp
FOR /F "Delims=" %%A in ('DIR /B/A-D *.* ^|Findstr /LIVE ".tmp"'
) DO For /f "delims=" %%B in ('certUtil -hashfile "%%A" SHA1 ^| findstr /V ":"') Do (
       >> output2.tmp Echo %%B %%~fA
       Findstr "%%B" output1.tmp >Nul 2>&1 || Echo Hash %%B not in "%Dir1%" File %%~fA 
     )
)
PopD

Answer 2

Here's another solution that uses no temporary files. Instead, it creates a sort of associative array like f|filename.ext=hash. All the hashes are stored as variables, and the series of variables can be enumerated with set "f|". Basically, this makes it easy to get a list of hashes tied to filenames in directory 1, then use this list to compare directory 2. If an expected variable is undefined, then the file in directory 2 does not exist in directory 1. If it is defined, then compare the hashes and undefine it. Whatever is left defined at the end indicates a file exists in directory 1 but not in directory 2.

@echo off & setlocal

if "%~2"=="" goto usage

pushd "%~1" || goto usage
for /f "delims=" %%I in ('dir /b /a:-d') do (
    for /f %%x in ('certutil -hashfile "%%~I" ^| find /v ":"') do set "f|%%~nxI=%%~x"
)
popd

pushd "%~2" || goto usage
for /f "delims=" %%I in ('dir /b /a:-d') do (
    if not defined f^|%%~nxI (
        echo %%~nxI does not exist in %~nx1\
    ) else (
        for /f %%x in ('certutil -hashfile "%%~I" ^| find /v ":"') do (
            setlocal enabledelayedexpansion
            if not "%%~x"=="!f|%%~nxI!" (
                echo %%~nxI hash mismatch
            )
            endlocal
            set "f|%%~nxI="
        )
    )
)

for /f "tokens=2 delims=|=" %%I in ('cmd /c set "f|" 2^>NUL') do (
    echo %%I does not exist in %~nx2\
)

goto :EOF

:usage
echo Usage: %~nx0 dir1 dir2
echo compares files in dir1 with those in dir2.
