Is there a way i can copy/ move the files from a specific directory which have been modified on a particular date
i was able to get a list of files using the following script

dir /a-d |find "02/10/2006" >filelist.txt

but now if i want to copy the files i am confused as to how to do it

Please help

Thanks

since you have all the directories that are on certain dates in filelist.txt, just make a for loop over this list, and use the copy command in the for loop to copy your directories...

eg
for [options] %%var in (filelist.txt) do (
copy %%var to destination
)

This should work. It will copy all files in filelist.txt to a target folder.

::----CODE----
for /f %%i in (filelist.txt) do copy "%%i" "c:\TargetFolder"
::----CODE----

hi
This doesnt work
because the filelist.txt looks like this
it is the output of dir f:\pics /a-d |find "03/04/2006" >j:\filelist.txt

03/04/2006 12:16p 37,882 gaurav.jpg
03/04/2006 12:17p 32,859 PICT3598.jpg
03/04/2006 12:17p 34,889 PICT3599.jpg

now if i run the code given by Shr0Om i.e.

for /f %%i in (j:\filelist.txt) do copy "%%i" "j:\test"

the output is

J:\batch scripts>copy "f:\pics\03/04/2006" "j:\test"
The system cannot find the path specified.

Please help

why not use the xcopy command instead. It can copy files based on dates.Check out xcopy /?
and look at /D:m-d-y option

Or when using the DIR command, include the flag /B

Err, scratch that last post

for /f "tokens=4" %%X in ('dir/a-d ^| find "30-06-2006"') do (
echo copy or move %%X somewhere )

=======================
That's either all ONE line or it can break immediately before "echo"

=====================================
If at first you don't succeed, you're about average.
