HI All,

I want to copy the file to a folder with success counter and else failure counter.
if the file already exists it should sleep for few seconds. then it should continue till the numbers which i had entered as a 1st parameter.

i was trying this as below program, i was not correct, i am missing some thing. kindly guide where i am doing the error.

regards,
mohamed asif kp

There are easier ways to do this, but I just followed along your train of thought. %%A is not a defined name so I improvised a bit.

Code: [Select]@Echo Off

SET /P COPIES=Please enter the number of files to copy (numbers only) :
SET /P SRCDIR=Please enter source Directory(example c:\t3\) :
SET /P SRCFILE=Please Enter Source File Name (example test) :
SET /P DESDIR=Please enter Destination Directory(example c:\t3\) :

set /a success=0
set /a failure=0
set /a total=0

:CONTINUE
If exist %SRCDIR%%SRCFILE% (
SLEEP 2
call set /a SUCCESS=%%SUCCESS%%+1
copy %SRCDIR%%SRCFILE%.txt %DESDIR%%SRCFILE%%success%.txt
) ELSE (
call set /a FAILURE=%%FAILURE%%+1
)
call set /a TOTAL=%SUCCESS%+%FAILURE%

IF %TOTAL% neq %COPIES% (GOTO CONTINUE) ELSE GOTO END

:END
ECHO %SUCCESS%
ECHO %FAILURE%

Try checking out the for command with the /L switch which would provide a token to make the output files unique and COULD double as the counter for the loop.

Good luck. @ECHO Off
