Hi Everyone,
I Would like to create a batch file. Could you help me? Here are the specifications:
1. I have certain number of files inside a folder1. 2.list all the filenames of those files inside folder1 on filelist1 3. I want to search a specific directory having the same file as i have with from the folder1 -path can be stored on a filelist2 to be used for change directory 4. change directory recursively and replace the existing files inside a specific directory of all the files from folder1 until all the files inside folder1 has been consumed. 5. if there is a point that the file cannot be seen on that specific directory, ask from the user the correct directory folder structure and the batch should create that same folder structure specified by the user then copy that new file from folder1 to the specified directory.
