I need to create a batch file that scans a directory such as c:\temp for files for each month and moves them acording to that month to a folder labled that month. I looked at xcopy commands but I cannot get the date part right. Please help.

Run this and post a few lines of the output. ============================= @echo off & setLocal EnableDELAYedExpansion for /f "tokens=* delims= " %%a in ('dir/b/a-d') do ( echo %%~Ta %%a ) ===================================== Helping others achieve escape felicity M2

Thanks for the response. The script gave me a list of the files that were in the directory that I ran the script on. It listed the files with the date first [mm/dd/yyyy hh:mm am Filename] Any thoughts? Thanks for all the help.

The concept is to post the EXACT output so we know what we're dealing with. ===================================== Helping others achieve escape felicity M2
