I want to copy like this:

copy file.txt \\XXbdc\share\file.txt

where XX must be replaced from a list like this:

AA
AB
AC
etc.

Can this be done i a batch-file?
(sorry my bad english!)

G'day,
Not totally sure about this but try using the %1 %2 etc operators.

Like, the content of your batch file- filename.bat -would be:
copy file.txt \\%1bcd\share\file.txt

Command line would be filename XX.

You could also replace file.txt with
copy %1.txt \\%2bdc\share\%1.txt.

Command line would now be:
filemame file XX

Just remember that they are in order ie %1 %2 etc, and that if you use spaces in XX then they become two variables.

Give it a go,

regards,
Peter
