Hi all, I am running Windows 2003. I am new to batch files, but need to do the following with your help: I have a directory with 2 -3 files (potentially). I need to write .bat file that will take the first file (ba_20090908.txt) and 1. copy it to another dir 2. rename it 3. run a procedure against it 4. remove it from original dir
Then do the same with the next file in the directory, then next ... till they all processed.
