:-)Īnd remember, both files go in the root of your calibre library (although I use shortcuts for them, of course). It's nice to be a contributor for once instead of the guy crying for help. This forum has been very helpful to me so I hope someone will find this useful.

REM the &cls is supposed to clear the screenįor me, this means I find the "lost" book from the Fantasy library in the Sci-Fi library, I DON'T download free Amazon books that I already have, and I can see at a glance EVERY book I have from an author at once instead of searching each library separately. REM /I for case insensitive /C for looking for the whole string not just piecesįindstr /I /C:"%SearchFor%" CalibreBooksSorted.txt Even with my library, the search is instant. Thankfully you'll get the first 70 letters in the book name, you'll get the author name, and the file location. You DO have to remember though that the only information it has collected is the standard file data, not the book metadata. An author name, a book name, the actual file name, a piece of a word.whatever. You'll see a DOS box with the top line asking "Search for?" You can search for basically anything. To search the new "database" you run BookSearch.cmd. Sort Calibre_Books.txt /O CalibreBooksSorted.txt It will then sort the file names into alphabetical order and dump the filtered results into a file named CalibreBooksSorted.txtĭir/s | findstr "azw mobi lit epub" > Calibre_Books.txt

They're tiny, easy to understand, and they work for me, so far.įirst, from the root of your library, you run AllCalibreBooks.cmd to dump all the library file names into 1 file called Calibre_Books.txt. I decided to write a couple of batch files to help me keep track of them and find them and thought other people might want to try them out too. I'm at 52k right now, across 19 libraries and I was losing track of which books I had and where they were. I have a lot of books and add to my libraries constantly.
