Hi Guys,

Am new to this forum and new in writing batch scripts. Need some help to the below -

Need to create a .bat [schedule task] file for performing below -

1. Search for the files that are generated in last hour
2. Copy last hour generated files from one location to another.

This script will be scheduled to run every hour to keep copying files generated in past 1 hour.

Ok so what was the answer because I am working on a simpler project and can not get the %%A to go to another variable so I can pars the dates and times?

Actually it does not work. This command...

set T=%%~Ta

does not set T to any thing and if you echo it it just says echo is off. Here is the code I am using to test with...

@echo off & setLocal EnableDELAYedExpansion
@echo off > %temp%\#
for /f "tokens=*" %%a in ('dir/s/b') do (
  set T=%%~Ta
  set C=!T:~11,2!
  Echo %T%
  Echo %C%
  Pause
  )

Can you tell me what is wrong?
