Hi
I need help of a script that can take a source directory (containing subdirs and files) and copy to the destination directory of the same name (subdirs are the same name too)!
For each file:
If it is an existing file, rename the existing file by adding a .bak extension, and copy the file to the destination directory/subdir.
If it is not an existing file, just simply copy the file to the destination directory/subdir.Thanks alot

XP is not DOS. [Nor is DOS XP.]
If I follow your plan, something like this:
===============================
:: copy src dest; ren if exist@echo off & setLocal EnableDelayedExpansion
set /p src=src?
set /p dest=dest?
pushd !src!for /f "tokens=* delims=" %%a in ('dir/b/a-d') do (
if exist !dest!\%%a ren !dest!\%%a %%~Na.bak
copy %%a !dest!\
)
=====================================
If at first you don't succeed, you're about average.M2

Hi M2
Thanks, I tried it out, but it did not recursively do the same to files within the subdirectories... can you help me fix it?
Thanks again,
mike

Hi M2
Thanks, but it still didn't work,
if you just create...
a source folder: C://abc/1.txt, abc/a/2.txt, abc/a/3.txt
a dest folder: E://abc/1.txt, abc/a/2.txtthe result would be:
E://abc/1.txt.bak, abc/a/2.txt.bak, abc/a/3.txtcan you make sure the code can give that result?
Thanks again

Hi mike
Are you saying you want double extensions, like:
1.txt.bak
=====================================

Hi M2
Yes, that's right. If a file does not exist, just copy as-is (under whatever subdirectory it is in)
Thanks again

BTW, the path separator in DOS and Winders is \ not /.=================
:: copy src dest; ren if exist@echo off & setLocal EnableDelayedExpansion
set /p src=src?
set /p dest=dest?
pushd !src!for /f "tokens=* delims=" %%d in ('dir/b/s/ad') do (
pushd %%dfor /f "tokens=* delims=" %%a in ('dir/b/a-d') do (
if exist !dest!\%%a ren !dest!\%%a %%a.bak
copy %%a !dest!\
))
=====================================

Hi M2,
something is wrong with the first for loop.
subdirectories is not working at all.
if source is:
C://abc/0.txt
C://abc/a/1.txt
C://abc/b/2.txt
and dest is:
E://abc/0.txt
E://abc/a/1.txt
E://abc/b/i want the result to be:
E://abc/0.txt.bak + (new) 0.txt
E://abc/a/1.txt.bak + (new) 1.txt
E://abc/b/2.txt (new)Thanks again

I say again for emphasis:
"the path separator in DOS and Winders is \ not /"
And \\ is no go.
Beyond that, src & dest are meant to be DIRECTORIES not files.
I just tried it on c:\a and c:\b
And it worked as advertised.
=====================================

Ok, that's not what i have problem with.
if you look at this line:
if exist !dest!\%%a ren !dest!\%%a %%a.bak
copy %%a !dest!\it always goes to the !dest! folder.. but i want to go under whatever SUBDIRECTORY the source folder contain. That is:
if source is c:\a\SUBDIR\1.txt, i want the destination to be c:\b\SUBDIR\1.txt.bat
Right now the code is moving all the files under c:\b, but not under its SUBDIRECTORIES
Thanks

Hi mike,
Sorry, I'm lost. Do a TREE:
===============
C:\temp\-\aaa>tree c:\files
Folder PATH listing for volume 3G-80GSEAGA
Volume serial number is 0006FE80 49B0:39E9
C:\FILES
├───ID
├───DOXPIX
├───ebay
├───USPTO
├───linx
├───SIM
├───Cd-keys for all Software
├───X
├───add
│ └───23
├───logs
└───$
=====================================

Hi M2,
see below, all listed directories has files. I want files from folder4 of the source to go to folder4 of the destination, folder4a to folder4a, folder5 to folder5.
Source:
Folder PATH listing
Volume serial number is 6806-ABBD
C:\BAT SOURCE\C8
├───4
│ └───4a
└───5Destination:
Folder PATH listing
Volume serial number is 6806-ABBD
C:\BAT DEST\C8
├───4
│ └───4a
└───5
Thanks
mike
