quick help needed in DOS .
-I want to create a bat file that opens up a txt file and reads data in it (data being the names of files). -Then check to see if the file exists in a folder. -If exists copy it to another folder. -If not exists make a new .txt file adding the file name that is missing to it.
eg: name.txt would contain this text in it 1003.gif 1003.jpg 1223.txt
if there is no 1003.gif in c:\folder then add the line from name.txt above to a new .txt file /n else copy file to c:\folder2

Hi TImmay
Call Copyfile.bat FileName StorePath if you want permanent filename and StorePath change %1 and %2 to that required.
--------------- rem CopyFile.bat @echo off if "%2"=="" ( echo Usage: CopyFile.bat Filename StorePath exit /b ) dir /s /b | find /i "%1" > tmp.txt set /p FilePath=<tmp.txt copy %FilePath% %2 > nul if %errorlevel%==1 ( echo Filename or StorePath not Found! ) else ( echo File copied ok. )
