Hi, Need help with a batch script.. I need to move .pdf files from multipel folders with different names to one archive folder example: c:\temp\pdf\1 c:\temp\pdf\2 c:\temp\pdf\3 c:\temp\pdf\4 c:\temp\pdf\5 to c:\temp\archive\pdf\1 c:\temp\archive\pdf\2 c:\temp\archive\pdf\3 c:\temp\archive\pdf\4 c:\temp\archive\pdf\5 I have tried the move script but this will only move .pdf files from one folder. I need to move the pdf files from multiple folders witrh different names. I want the script to search for subfolders under "c:\temp\archive\pdf" and copy the folder names and move the pdf files to an archive folder move /-y c:\temp\pdf\1 \..pdf" "c:\temp\archive\pdf\1"

This isn't perfect by any means but it does the copying bit, I just couldn't work out how to replicate the folder names in the destination

Code:

@Echo Off
For /R %1 %%I in (*.txt) Do Copy "%%I" "%2"

Copy that into a batch file. Then run the file (e.g copyme.bat) and supply 2 parameters, the first is the source directly, the second is the destination.

e.g. copyme.bat c:\temp c:\archine.

At the minute the following will happen...

c:\temp\pdf\1
c:\temp\pdf\2
c:\temp\pdf\3
c:\temp\pdf\4
c:\temp\pdf\5

to

c:\archive\

You might want to look at xcopy though, it's far more powerful than standard batch scripts.[/code]

Edit: I might give this another go tomorrow. It's late so code head isn't working Smile
