for /f %%a in ('dir /b') do type %%a >>logs.new

Could try a batch too,

for /f %%a in ('dir /b') do type %%a >>logs.new
del *.txt
ren logs.new logs.%random%.txt

Don't need cygwin and all that.

True, it is not the same thing, so much as illustrating that you don't need bash. Not saying it is bad, just not necessary. The DIR argument of FOR could take globs, could use nested FOR to iterate a list of prefixes, etc.

If you want a huge mess, yes batch files will work.

Xaen, have you thought about making your sig a jpg of one of eve's modal windows,

"Support UI Repair"
[Ok]

I like your idea, very useful. I actually didn't even dare to open one of the log directories, as it would have taken hours to just show me the files ... I put both your scripts in a single one and made it a bit shorter, the result is the same:

I've put this into a cronjob that runs every night, no more billions of logfiles for me, yay! Thanks for this one :-)

At work, so no access to logfiles - do chatlogs have your play start and end timestamps in them? i.e. with some careful parsing, could you get aggregate hours played by week/month?

Horizontal scroll is much worse than any logfiles.

Also, I hope this counts as modding Eve and you get banned.

When I get home, I'll build a small executable doing the same.
I hope you don't mind if I copy your idea for that.

No need for cygwin then. Select log-folder, click run, cross your fingers, done.

None of the suggested scripts provide proper error testing before deleting the original files.

If your append command fails for some reason then the original file is still trashed.

I dunno.. I've only found one batch script useful for the log files as to date, and that is:

del /Q "logs\Chatlogs\*.*"

del /Q "logs\Marketlogs\*.*"

Placed in a bat file in the EVE directory in My Documents...

Though might give cygwin a try, sounds fun being able to scrip bash in windows...

After working in *nix so long I can't live in windows without Cygwin. I use it almost daily.

Some asshat uploads 50 video files in 50 individual .rar files? (mp3s/vidoes rarely compress appreciably)

nice -20 for x in $(ls *.rar); do rar -x "$x"; done &

And walk off to the living room to stream the first one to XBMC. ;)

The list of files to delete is generated based on files that exist. The only way this could be a problem is if you start the script the delete one of the log files while it's aggregating that type, but before it gets to that file. And then it will just throw an error and do the rest of them.

True, but you'd have to run out of disk space or some other catastrophic problem. And it's not very likely since it deletes them as it goes. The resulted aggregated files should take up the same amount of space on disk. So for in order for it to fail you'd have to have one enormous file be the first one aggregated and very little disk space left.
