I have several files in a folder C:/Folder1 and I would like to create a batch file with copy or move command, to copy/move the files containing a partial number,12345, to C:/Folder2. The partial number it not at the beginning or end of the file name but in the middle.
I tried with wildcards but doesn't work.
Copy or Move ***.pdf C:/Folder2
Can anyone help please ?
Thanks,
Rui

Using 7zip, I want to give a location of a folder of files something like...
D:\Home\files Then I want it to zip all the files in that folder and leave them there. So for example zipme.txt become zipme.zip, so all files would keep their name but just become a zip file. I have tried to use
FOR %i IN (D:\Home\files) DO 7z.exe a "%~ni.zip"
But when I do it it adds a zip file for the directory so my output would be in the correct folder but would contain
D:\Home\files\file.zip
D:\Home\files\zipme.zip
zipped files also all items in directory like..
zipme.txt
zipme2.txt
D:\Home\files/zipme2.zip
So how can I zip each file individual in a folder and have the new zipped name be the individual files name
Was able to get this to work.
FOR %i IN (D:\Home\files\*) DO 7z.exe a "%~ni.zip" "%i"
I have some files which needs to be copied through deployment process often to a destination. This is my folder folder structure:
SOURCE:
c:\
folder1
sub1
subsub1
file1
file2
I need something where i can tell my "script" something like this
mycopy c:\folder1\sub1\subsub1\file1 h:\
That means that i dont want to
check if folder structure exist
provide on bot sides the complete structure for each file on destination side
I want to
provide the full path and filename on source side
create folder structure if not exist
overwrite file if exist
How can i achieve this?
See the robocopy help page on MS Technet
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc733145%28v=ws.11%29.aspx
In your case you would do something like
robocopy c:\folder1\sub1\subsub1 h:\ file1 <options ...>
Notice that the first two parameters are the source and dest paths only, with no filename at the end
Read the linked help page and test on your desktop ...
Ok it works like this:
You can use Robocopy for this task. Thanks you Rick716 for this direction. I am not marking it as answer cause it is only a direction not the solution.
Lets Assume that we have the following source folder structure:
N:\source\a1\b1\c1\d1\e1\f1
and we want to recreate the hole structure under n:\source within h:\destination. Then we have to use Robocopy in this way:
robocopy N:\source h:\destination /e
The option /e will create the folder structure even create empty folders. Additionally you can append the files which should be copied. For example
file.txt
*.jpg
*.bkp
etc. But these files will be even copied when they exist somewhere within the folder strcuture! For example you have the file n:\source\a1\file.txt and the file n:\source\a1\b1\c1\file.txt then both will be copied by using
robocopy N:\source h:\destination file.txt /e
I want to copy many text files from one folder to another. The file names are contained in another text file. So the commands should be able to read in the file names and do the copy things. I can do this with R but it's very slow. I wonder if it's possible to do this with the command line? (I can copy single file with the command line, but don't know how to copy many with for or while loop or something.) Thanks in advance.
I found this question helpful: How do you loop through each line in a text file using a windows batch file?
This is what you need to just paste into the command line. If you want to save it in a bash file you need to use %% instead of % for variables.
for /F "tokens=*" %a in (myfile.txt) do copy "%a" "new folder\%a"
This simply loops through the file, and for each line does a copy of it to the new folder. The quotes are important in case of spaces in the filenames.
How can I find a folder from a specific location using command prompt.
eg:- I want to search files from desktop and there are around 10 files that contains the name starting from A and i want locations of all such file with file name.
I know it can be done using find commnad but I am unable to write the correct code for it.
Thanks for the help
you can find all files from a directory and sub directories that start with 'a' using this:
dir /b /s a*.*
I need to write a batch file that copies a file to a new folder and renames it.
At the moment, my batch file consists of only this command:
COPY ABC.PDF \\Documents
As you can see, it only copies the file ABC.pdf to the network folder Documents.
However I need to change this so it renames the file ABCxxx.pdf, where xxx is a text variable that I would like to set somewhere in the batch file.
For example, if xxx = _Draft, then file would be renamed ABC_Draft.pdf after it is copied.
Make a bat file with the following in it:
copy /y C:\temp\log1k.txt C:\temp\log1k_copied.txt
However, I think there are issues if there are spaces in your directory names. Notice this was copied to the same directory, but that doesn't matter. If you want to see how it runs, make another bat file that calls the first and outputs to a log:
C:\temp\test.bat > C:\temp\test.log
(assuming the first bat file was called test.bat and was located in that directory)
type C:\temp\test.bat>C:\temp\test.log
