Get metadata of files with Vim, 7zip, and CMD

I don't know if this has been done before; I feel like the answer is "no". I looked up "Get metadata with Vim, 7zip, and CMD" on Google and found nothing. Why does 7zip not support MD5?

(Click the "Raw" button on this web page to enable word wrapping.)

Step 0. Know that you can paste Vim command mode commands in with : > Edit > Paste

Step 1. Get a list of your files.

Open Vim then add the following text. Only add the text between "--->" and "<---" which you have customized to your files.

start of "file" ("1,1")--->wmic datafile where Name="C:\\path\\to\\the\\files\\filenameU46HOJDGB2.ext" get CreationDate,EightDotThreeFileName,Extension,FileName,FileSize,FileType,LastAccessed,LastModified

"C:\Program Files\7-Zip\7z" h -scrcsha256 filename7CIVJTLRWS.ext
<---end of "file" ("4,0")

where "U46HOJDGB2" and "7CIVJTLRWS" is the number part of your filenames. All filenames are in the format of "TheSameText#", where "TheSameText" is any string which is the entirety of each filename if you remove the numbering part of it; the numbering part is "#", which means any positive integer from 1 to 281474980000000.

Then in command mode run
:$ | 1,4t.O

In normal mode run
#@@

where "#" is the number of files you want to get metadata on minus 2. So if you have 7 files you want to get metadata on it would be
5@@

and the output would be

start of "file"--->wmic datafile where Name="C:\\path\\to\\the\\files\\filenameU46HOJDGB2.ext" get CreationDate,EightDotThreeFileName,Extension,FileName,FileSize,FileType,LastAccessed,LastModified

"C:\Program Files\7-Zip\7z" h -scrcsha256 filename7CIVJTLRWS.ext

wmic datafile where Name="C:\\path\\to\\the\\files\\filenameU46HOJDGB2.ext" get CreationDate,EightDotThreeFileName,Extension,FileName,FileSize,FileType,LastAccessed,LastModified

"C:\Program Files\7-Zip\7z" h -scrcsha256 filename7CIVJTLRWS.ext

wmic datafile where Name="C:\\path\\to\\the\\files\\filenameU46HOJDGB2.ext" get CreationDate,EightDotThreeFileName,Extension,FileName,FileSize,FileType,LastAccessed,LastModified

"C:\Program Files\7-Zip\7z" h -scrcsha256 filename7CIVJTLRWS.ext

wmic datafile where Name="C:\\path\\to\\the\\files\\filenameU46HOJDGB2.ext" get CreationDate,EightDotThreeFileName,Extension,FileName,FileSize,FileType,LastAccessed,LastModified

"C:\Program Files\7-Zip\7z" h -scrcsha256 filename7CIVJTLRWS.ext

wmic datafile where Name="C:\\path\\to\\the\\files\\filenameU46HOJDGB2.ext" get CreationDate,EightDotThreeFileName,Extension,FileName,FileSize,FileType,LastAccessed,LastModified

"C:\Program Files\7-Zip\7z" h -scrcsha256 filename7CIVJTLRWS.ext
<---end of "file"

Then run
:let i=1 | g/U46HOJDGB2/s//\=i/ | let i=i+1
:let j=1 | g/7CIVJTLRWS/s//\=j/ | let j=j+1

Step 2. Get the unformated metadata (see Appendix A)

Open CMD

Go to the directory with the files that you want to get meta data on, run "cd C:\path\to\the\files"

Run "cls"

Copy and paste all of those Step 1 commands into CMD to run them.

Press Ctrl+A

Paste the unformatted metadata into Vim then run the command in Step 3.

Step 3. (referenced above) Format metadata

:%s/\(CreationDate\)\s\+\(EightDotThreeFileName\)\s\+\(Extension\)\s\+\(FileName\)\s\+\(FileSize\)\s\+\(FileType\)\s\+\(LastAccessed\)\s\+\(LastModified\)\s*/\1\r\2\r\3\r\4\r\5\r\6\r\7\r\8/g | %s/CreationDate\n\(.*\n.*\n.*\n.*\n.*\n.*\n.*\n\)\(\S\+ \S\+\|\S\+\)/CreationDate: \2\r\1/g | %s/EightDotThreeFileName\n\(.*\n.*\n.*\n.*\n.*\n.*\n\)\s\{2,}.\+\\\(\S\+ \S\+\|\S\+\)/EightDotThreeFileName: \2\r\1/g | %s/Extension\n\(.*\n.*\n.*\n.*\n.*\n\)\s\{2,}\(\S\+ \S\+\|\S\+\)/Extension: \2\r\1/g | %s/FileName\n\(.*\n.*\n.*\n.*\n\)\s\{2,}\(\S\+ \S\+\|\S\+\)/FileName: \2\r\1/g | %s/FileSize\n\(.*\n.*\n.*\n\)\s\{2,}\(\S\+ \S\+\|\S\+\)/FileSize: \2\r\1/g | %s/FileType\n\(.*\n.*\n\)\s\{2,}\(\S\+ \S\+\|\S\+\)/FileType: \2\r\1/g | %s/LastAccessed\n\(.*\n\)\s\{2,}\(\S\+ \S\+\|\S\+\)/LastAccessed: \2\r\1/g | %s/LastModified\n\s\{2,}\(\S\+ \S\+\|\S\+\)/LastModified: \1/g | %s/\(.*\n\)\{2}.*>.* h -scrcsha256\(.*\n\)\{15}//g | %s/.*>wmic datafile where Name=.*\\/Filename: /g | %s/" get CreationDate,E.*//g | %s/\nEverything is Ok\n\n.*>$//g | %s/\n\nEverything is Ok$//g

(See Appendix B for some info on this command.)

(Not needed:
