Hi, I am trying to make a testing batch file for my 8 servers where if any new file comes my batch file will intimate me. so i have made a test batch file but i don't know how to go through it. here is the batch file: ========================================== @echo off SET K="C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Desktop\test\test" :SHOW ECHO. ECHO. ECHO --- BELOW LISTED FILES ARE NEWLY ADDED --- ECHO. ECHO. :GEN cd "%k%" for /f "tokens=* delims= " %%a in ('dir /B /O:-D *.*') do ( find "%%a" < "C:\Docume~1\Admini~1\Desktop\test\test\dir.txt" > nul if errorlevel 1 echo %%a ) pause>nul :test1 ::cd "C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Desktop\test" dir /b > "C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Desktop\test\test\dir.txt" ECHO. ECHO. set /p l= Do You Want To Copy Newely Added Files To Its Respective Folder (Y or N) : IF NOT '%l%'=='' set choice=%l:~0,1% IF /I '%choice%'=='y' GOTO copy1 IF /I '%choice%'=='n' GOTO eof ECHO. pause>NUL :copy1 move /y %%a "C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Desktop\test" :: Change the following anyway you see fit. GOTO :Choices :Choices echo. echo. echo. CLS echo 1. TESTING CHOICE ECHO. echo 2. TESTING CHOICE2 ECHO. echo 3. TESTING CHOICE3 echo. set /p choice=Please choose a number: IF NOT '%choice%'=='' set choice=%choice:~0,1% IF '%choice%'=='1' GOTO choice1 IF '%choice%'=='2' GOTO choice2 IF '%choice%'=='3' GOTO choice3 ECHO. pause>NUL GOTO :Choices :choice1 ECHO. ECHO. echo You chose 1 ECHO. ECHO. pause exit :choice2 ECHO. ECHO. echo You chose 2 ECHO. ECHO. pause exit :choice3 ECHO. ECHO. echo You chose 3 ECHO. ECHO. pause ============================== Problem 1 ECHO --- BELOW LISTED FILES ARE NEWLY ADDED --- <------ how to i set this line in batch file so that if any new files are added to the location it will generate this line otherwise say it will tell me no files are added something like that. Problem 2 what I need to add so that it will fit in my choice labels and will ask me like do you want to copy newely added files to another location? do you want to cut newely added files to another location? do you want to delete the newely added files from server? what code do i need so that it it asks me like do you want to copy newely added files to another location? <----- after selecting YES it will copy only newely added file not the older ones K2™ System/Network Engineer

Assuming you don't want to differentiate between 'newly created' and 'newly modified,' you can use the archive file attribute. ECHO --- BELOW LISTED FILES ARE NEWLY ADDED --- <------ how to i set this line in batch file so that if any new files are added to the location it will generate this line otherwise say it will tell me no files are added something like that. dir /aa-d >NUL 2>&1 &&(ECHO --- BELOW LISTED FILES ARE NEWLY ADDED --- dir /aa-d /b) || ECHO Nothing new do you want to copy newely added files to another location? <----- after selecting YES it will copy only newely added file not the older ones XCOPY /M /H /I *.* "\Somewhere else"

I am not getting dear where your stated commands do i have to put. K2™ System/Network Engineer
