Hi,

I need help on how to write a script using batch to search for a particular file ext ie *.mp3 or *.jpg and save the particular file on a new created folder?

Looking for files dir /b /s *.mp3 *.jpg
Creating folder xxx mkdir xxx
Copying a to b copy a b

Look up "for /F"

If you put those bits together, you'll probably get what you want.

To get help on for, type for /?

Sorry for the late response.

Thanks for the tips anyway:)

This is what I have:

:BACKUP
set /p inputvar=Please enter file type you to move to log file:%1
dir /s/b c:\users\*.%inputvar% >> list.txt
Echo Backup Complete
pause
cls
goto start

But if I search for more filetype and move it to list.txt, it will show all in the list.txt.
How do I go about if I want to move different filetypes to different list.txt ie if I search JPG it will move to list.txt, then if I search again for MP3, it will automatically name the log file list1.txt etc?

And how do search for files using date modified ?To know what file has been modified today or within 7 days?
