I am trying to edit this code to when we run the batch file it creates a folder based off the month of our file format. We ran this script a whole lot but forgot to make a folder called April now we have May mixed in with April.
The files are formatted like
Username-R705-2011.05.04-1601-Disconnected.7z
I was wondering if there is anyway it can go off the .04 and make a folder for that month so it will automatically put it in the folder it is needing to go into, so it will be easy to search for by month.
** would it be possible if we can not use the format that we format our files in to have it sort by file creation.

Answer 1

Erase everything below (and including) the line REM XCOPY <source> <destination> <options> and replace it with the following:
for /F "usebackq delims=" %%a in (`dir /b "%SOURCE%\*.7z"`) do (
SET CURRENT_FILE=%%a
REM Extract the month.
for /F "usebackq tokens=3 delims=-" %%i in ('!CURRENT_FILE!') do (
SET CURRENT_FILE_DATE=%%i
SET FILE_MONTH=!CURRENT_FILE_DATE:~-2!
SET MONTH_DEST=!DEST!\!FILE_MONTH!
)
XCOPY "%SOURCE%\!CURRENT_FILE!" "!MONTH_DEST!\" /Y /V /I /R
REM Confirm successful copy, then delete original
IF %ERRORLEVEL% EQU 0 (
ECHO Copy Operation Successful. Removing Original...
DEL /Q "%SOURCE%\!CURRENT_FILE!"
)ELSE (
ECHO Error while copying "%SOURCE%\!CURRENT_FILE!.
)
)
This code goes through every file matching %SOURCE%\*.7z, extracts the month, and then copies the file to %DEST%\<month>. Month is just the 2-digit number from the filename.

Seems like you have a folder full of files with different numeric-month values embedded in the filename. I was thinking of extracting that value from each file, but it would be more straightforward to use brute force wildcards with 12 different XCOPY commands:
XCOPY "%SOURCE%\*-*-20??.??.01-*.7z" "%DEST%\01" /Y /V /I /R
XCOPY "%SOURCE%\*-*-20??.??.02-*.7z" "%DEST%\02" /Y /V /I /R
[...]
XCOPY "%SOURCE%\*-*-20??.??.12-*.7z" "%DEST%\12" /Y /V /I /R
I may be misunderstanding the question but if you can make some assumptions about the filenames, this would work.
