1.	Solve : Creating a Batch File...?
Answer» I am in a Computer Networking Systems course. Our teacher wants us to create a Batch file that takes files from one folder that are older then 2 days and zips them and moves them to another folder. How do I create the batch file that does this?does your teacher ask you to do things that he or she hasn't taught yet? If yes, you should ask your teacher how its done. If not, show us what you have so far I don't have anything so far. I just know how to create the file by making it .bat I don't know how to get it to perform the commands he wants.Quote from: ItalianOnEdge on October 22, 2009, 11:34:28 PM I just know how to create the file by making it .bat I don't know how to get it to perform the commands he wants. so where is that .bat file since you say you know how to create it. does it have any commands in it ? or is it a blank .bat file?? you can go to here for some dos tips...or here on a side note, seriously if you aren't learning anything out from your teacher, you might as well stay at home and learn from internet. by the WAY, you are not SUPPOSED to post homework questions here ... (without putting in effort) Actually I have put effort. I just cant get it to perform the commands. I been checking on sites to get a general idea on how to write the command script. But what I getting if a million different ways and i know how to get them to work the way I want them to. I just saved the .bat file to the desktopQuote from: ItalianOnEdge on October 22, 2009, 11:51:18 PM Actually I have put effort. and where is it? post it here so that the so called "batch gurus" can GUIDE you alongListen I am modifying this cause I over reacted. Dude if I knew what I was doing I wouldn't be asking here. I tried to make it and it didn't work. Not even close, so I deleted it. So if you are gonna insult me by questioning my being lazy or not then just don't respond.Quote from: ItalianOnEdge on October 23, 2009, 12:13:24 AM Dude if I knew what I was doing I wouldn't be asking here. if you don't know anything, ask the teacher again. or revise your notes. If the teacher had asked you to do things that he hasn't teach, then ask for his advice on how to go about doing it.. Quote I tried to make it and it didn't work. Not even close, so I deleted it. if you really put in effort and it didn't work, you should post it and let others take a look and POINT you to right direction. However, you have not done that.

I just know how to create the file by making it .bat I don't know how to get it to perform the commands he wants.

so where is that .bat file since you say you know how to create it. does it have any commands in it ? or is it a blank .bat file?? you can go to here for some dos tips...or here

on a side note, seriously if you aren't learning anything out from your teacher, you might as well stay at home and learn from internet.

by the WAY, you are not SUPPOSED to post homework questions here ... (without putting in effort)
