Answer» operating system Win2k
I have the following situation that has me stumped. I have limited DOS knowledge.
Each day I receive files that are ftp'd to my company in which the name of the directory is different with each ftp session. The format of the directory name is yymmdd_hhmmss where: yy = year, mm = month, dd = day, hh = hour, mm = minute ss = seconds
This is the date & time the session took place. i.e 041214_132546
I need to be able to have a batch file capture the name of the directoy, so all the *.pdf files contained in that directory can be copied to another directory whose name changes monthly. The target directory path would be YYYY\MM. where YYYY = the current year and MM = the number of the current month. Each YYYY directory would have 12 subdirectories 01 - 12. i.e. 2004\12
currently I am using the following, but this method is prone to typing errors.and has to be CHANGED for each use.
dalycopy.bat 041214_132546 12 copy I:\from_ftp\%1\*.pdf I:\pdfs\2004\%2 exit
I would like to be able the have the batch run without HUMAN intervention.
