Problem - have 2 dirs (c:\old , c:\new) and i need to copy files from new -> old.
Have written a batch file that, if exist, copy file with extension .dup (duplicate) and then at end of copy advise me of duplicates.
Works for one file but if i try another (a.abc) and it exists then it tries a.dup
As this exists from a previous copy i am stuck. Transfering 40 files per day and am wondering how it is possible to same and get a.1 , a.2, a.3 etc

email me if u can help

Cheers

Phil

Yes indeed post your bat!

It looks, from your discription that the dup extension may be overkill..............

Any number of people here do batch files so you should get a working bug free copy up/running quickly.
