[OT] Md5 Checker.

[sas2000]

 
Hi, i'm looking for a program to check .md5 files, it should manage them as Tc does, but on command line mode (to be able to use it on batch files) and it must generate errorlevel exit codes.

Do you know any program with these capabilities ?, thanks. Sas.

Hmm i don't know if they are supporting error level output,
but here are a few tools i know (from my store, don't know if they are available anymore ):

no further info


I know there was an another one... but i can't remember right now

[RID500]

Found at http://www.kronos-titan.privat.t-online.de/md5/md5.html

The MD5.exe from fourmilab supports error level output:

Code: Select all

@echo off
md5.exe -c%1 %2
IF ERRORLEVEL 1 GOTO NOTOK
IF ERRORLEVEL 0 GOTO ISOK

:ISOK
echo MD5-Number is OK.
GOTO ENDE

:NOTOK
echo MD5-Number is NOT OK.
GOTO ENDE

:ENDE
PAUSE

Thanks , i knew them all except Rehash, the only one with exit codes is "MD5 2.0 Command Line Message Digest" as you point out, but this program AFAIK doesn't work with .md5 files, it only compares individual files with a Md5 hash.
 

Code: Select all

md5.exe -c449763d7bbc4e5f5d1b8004fd0b69321 press.doc

Thx, Sas.

How about the FOR command?

Code: Select all

:_START
FOR /F tokens=1 %%i  IN (.MD5) DO CALL :SUB %%i 
goto :EOF 

:SUB
MD5.exe -c%1
If EL ...
If EL ...
:FIN

I have less experience with this but Mr. Google should knew this better.
