Hi
want to copy 3 Folders with 168 jpeg files each

C:\Firemod\temp

to

B:\Projects\Fire Behaviour Outputs\Hourly output\ddmmyyyy

where this folder has created using the following codes

** codes**
=======================================================
@echo off
echo D = Now : WScript.Echo Right(100+Month(D),2) _ >%temp%\today.vbs
echo ^& Right(100+Day(D),2) ^& Right(Year(D),4) >>%temp%\today.vbs

for /f "tokens=1" %%a in (
'cscript.exe //Nologo %temp%\today.vbs') do set today=%%a

del %temp%\today.vbs

echo Hi

echo saahmadbulbul, Todays date is : %today%
md %today%

echo Created a folder for you; it is in B:\Projects\Fire Behaviour Outputs\Hourly output as todays date

=======================================================

each day file name will change and I need to copy those files as a regular basis.

I do not have programming skill to write complex code. Does anyone knows how to do it in winXP cmd?


Thanks a lot if you can solve this problem.

I also was trying to create a folder with the name as the CURRENT date. I found an article on this website TITLED "How can I make a batch file rename a file to the date or time?" I used that information to create the folder. Here's what works for me:
for /f "tokens=1-5 delims=/ " %%d in ("%date%") do md B:\Projects\Fire Behaviour Outputs\Hourly output %%g-%%e-%%f
I used the path you had in your post in the string above. This will create a folder with the name YYYY-MM-DD (example 2011-03-28). In the original article I read they had the date as MM-DD-YYYY, but I prefer the year-month-day instead because if I have many folders, it's EASIER to sort them chronologically. The tokens for the date are %%e=month, %%f=day, & %%g=year. And if you want to add the day of the week, add %%d.
I created the following "for /f "tokens=1-5 delims=/ " %%d in ("%date%") do md c:\users\bonz\bat\%%d-%%g-%%e-%%f", and the resulting folder name is "Mon-2011-03-28"
Another thing. I noticed you are creating the folder in drive B. If this is a removable disk (floppy), you might want the bat file to check and make sure there is a disk in the drive. Such as if not exist b:\*.* echo THERE IS NO DISK IN DRIVE B.Thank you [BonzCXL] for your help
But fixed date time now the code is

========================

cd B:\Projects\Fire Behaviour Outputs\Hourly output
B:

@echo off
echo D = Now : WScript.Echo Right(Year(D),4) _ >%temp%\today.vbs
echo ^& Right(100+Month(D),2) ^& Right(100+Day(D),2) >>%temp%\today.vbs
/f "tokens=1" %%a in (
'cscript.exe //Nologo %temp%\today.vbs') do set today=%%a

del %temp%\today.vbs

echo Hi

echo saahmadbulbul, Todays date is : %today%
md %today%

echo A folder has created for you; it is in ** B:\Projects\Fire Behaviour Outputs\Hourly output as todays date

==========================



but my main problem is to copy files to that folder. not it is yyyymmyy format


Thanks if you have any help ?Thanks [donlong88] for helping me with the codes.

Now i created 2 bat files to copy the files to two different network drives B: and R:

I would like to know I can combine those two bat files into one. I wrote

@echo off
copy2B.bat
copy2R.bat

but did not work.


Thanks

Here are the codes for copy2B.bat and copy2R.bat
