DOS COPY problem

dba1977 · #1 (**permalink**) 10-17-03, 08:43

Hi,
I want to create a batch file which copies existing files in one directory to another directory(actually sub-directories in the second directory) based on the dates they were created using MS-DOS command.
Example:
File A created on Jan-10-03
File B created on Dec-12-97
File A & B are in C:/ drive and when I run the batch file the File A should be copied to d:/Jan & File B should be copied to D:/Dec

Please let me know!
Thanks.

Not too hard - the command is

Copy DirectoryName\File.Extension D:\DirectoryName\SubDirtoryName

I want the Batch file to do this dynamically and I dont think your command will help this out!

Hi

If you copying files using a vb application why do you use batch files instead use FileSystemObject.

It is very easy

Give it a try
