hi


i wish to do the following. i'm running win2k on an NT server

i have a file that I have to copy to 7 different directories on a regular basis. The file which i have to copy changes each time i'm supplied with a new one. I therefore wish to SET upan automated routine that will take the file which i'm supplied with and import it into each of the 7 direcories, can anyone suggest how i'd do this ?

Is this achievable using dos ?

cheers

chrisHow bout this: Create a batch file CALLED COPY7.BAT that CONTAINS these commands:

@echo off
copy %1 \loc1\*.*
copy %1 \loc2\*.*
copy %1 \loc3\*.*
copy %1 \loc4\*.*
copy %1 \loc5\*.*
copy %1 \loc6\*.*
copy %1 \loc7\*.*


If you want to copy a file called COPYME.TXT to those 7 locations, just issue the command COPY7 COPYME.TXT.
The \*.* at the end of each COPY line assures that if you specify a non-existent folder, that you'll receive the message "The SYSTEM cannot find the path specified", as you should. If you do not include the \*.* and the folder loc1, loc2, etc do not exist, you'll get seven files named loc1, loc2, etc that each contain the contents of COPYME.TXT.
cheers curt, works perfectly
