Hi, Im trying to do nested for below :- 1. loop out thru sharepoint 2. for every sharepoint, copy only recent files, for testing i just echo the most recent filename. here what i came out and didnot work as i expected for 2 loop.. @echo off For /F "tokens=1,2,3,4" %%a in (Tools.txt) Do ( echo %%a,%%b,%%c,%%d >> extract.txt for /f "delims=" %%m in ('dir /od /a-d /b %%a\*.txt') do set recent=%%m echo %%m >> recent.txt )

What is in Tools.txt ? ===================================== Helping others achieve escape felicity M2

Ok, i managed to get this work after separating it in function. dunno why, but i have 2nd requirement. I need to get 2nd most recent file, if the recent file return file less than 500kb.. Tool.txt contains below DS15 \\PGO-desk1.ar.com\LogFile\DS\DS15\20090901 LC14 ds26 FOR /F "TOKENS=1,2,3,4 DELIMS= " %%a IN (Tools.txt) DO ( net use x: %%b if exist x: ( call :recent %%b ) :recent for /f "delims=" %%m in ('dir /od /a-d /b %~1\*.txt') do set recent=%%m if not "%recent%" =="" ( copy "c:\keke\head.txt" + "%~1\%recent%" "c:\keke\new\%recent%" ) if "%recent%" =="" (echo "No Log available" >> c:\keke\new\bad.txt ) pause goto :eof

What's the prob/error? ===================================== Helping others achieve escape felicity M2
