Copy/Move Files (one more thread)

Comment:

Hi!!!!! I would like to move files C:\new\*.doc to c:\old. So far so good. But in C:\old already exists some files with the same name. The files with no double should be moved. The others with a double in c:\old should stay in c:\new. How it works? I work on it some weeks but find no solution. It should work automatically in a batch file

Insert the following statement into your batch For %%I in (C:\new\*.doc) Do ( If not exist C:\old\%%~nxI Move "%%~fI" C:\old > Nul ) That works as you like, but it runs only under Windows NT/2K/XP environments. If you need more support, post again
