Answer»

I want to xcopy a directory with all subfolders & files in it. I'm using xcopy sourec destination /Y/I/E/Q/F.
I know it worked before , but now suddenly doesn't copy the subfolders in the directory. It copies the files in it though. Plz help!!!

Thanks
CVPGet rid of the /q. /f and /q conflict with each other. use xcopy /? to get a list of the available switchesHi Nick

The problem was beacuse source location was not specified by me correctly.Silly me:)
I think I have another silly issue. This used to work all the while but accidently the .bat file got deleted & I had to create a new one. I want to rename the file to the system date. I'm using:
for /f "tokens=5 delims=/ " %%d in ("%date%") do rename "C:\DATA" %%e-%%f-%%g

Any idea why the file isn't renamed?
Help is much appreciated.

CVPTry this...

For /f "tokens=2-4 delims=/ " %%a in ('date/t') do (
Set month=%%a
Set day=%%b
Set year=%%c
)
REN C:\YOUR_PATH\YOUR_FILE.TXT NEW_FILE_NAME%year%%month%%day%.TXT

Thank you SPOILER. It worked but I wasn't ABLE to understand what 'date/t' does...

I'm trying to delete the files older than a specific time. How do I go about this?

Thanks & Regards
