Hi,
I currently have a batch file thats creates a new directory with the current date as its name (in the format YYYYMMDD). Is it possible to have another batch file that finds this directory and copies files to it?

Hi I take it your using the american date format ie. MM/DD/YYYY. If so will this help.
@echo off set XDate=:~7,4%%date:~0,2%%date:~3,2% rem Xdate should equal YYYYMMDD.
rem 2nd batch file o0r same batch file copy *.* %XDate% rem or path to XDate directory.
------------------ You could use the above to create the directory md %XDate%

Hi,
I need to write a bacth file to backup the processed file to a backup directory. Backup file name should include the current date at the end. I am facing problem in formatting the date, since the windows doesn't allow back-slash(/) as part of the file name.
