Hi i'm new to batch file scripting and was wondering if anyone could HELP me

I'm looking to run a batch file that will replace one document with another

i.e. C:\temp\master.doc to C:\temp\minor.doc

I want to keep the master copy but replace the minor copy with an IMAGE of the master.

Any help greatly appreciated.

Or pointers to were I can see SAMPLE SCRIPTS /code etc
This sounds very simple, so I must have misjudged your requirement .. basically, you want to replace minor.doc with a copy of master.doc

Copy /Y C:\temp\master.doc C:\temp\minor.doc

the /Y means to answer yes to the 'do you want to overwrite' question

GrahamTried that graham but although i am running this batch file locally and the files for testing purposes are local the dos prompt keeps telling me the files cannot be locatedHi graham found the problem running the batch file under c:\ Documents and Settings\localuser\temp\test1\filename.txt copying to c:\ Documents and Settings\localuser\temp\test2\filename.txt
