• Copy files from specific date ranges in a Batch file

  I'm trying to copy files from a folder with many subfolders to another drive using a batch file. I want to copy the files in the date ranges specific (e.g. 01/01/2016 to 03/31/2016).

  I use this with Xcopy command:

  xcopy "C:\Users\John\Pictures\*.*" F:\BACKUP\Pictures/s/h/i/y

  It works, but I want to send groups of files by date for the different destination folders. I'm having a problem by specifying a date range in the command line.

  Is this possible with xcopy or robocopy? Does anyone know how to list the date rang in the command?

  Under XP, I got a batch file to copy files daily and rename them with the date, as:

  Run a batch file in Task Scheduler

  Hello ITGIRL17,

  Thanks for posting on the Microsoft answers Forum.

  Configure your task under your administrator account.
  Then go to the folder with the batch file and ADD on control for the folder administrator permissions and each of the files in batches.
  If the batch files write data, then the target for the task should ALSO have all explicit permissions.
  Now try to run the Task Scheduler task.

  Also check the information from the following link and look specifically at Brian Vandemark Sommaire steps on 2 September.

• For Dell, HP, et al.: Batch file. Copy and paste in Notepad as netfix.bat

  Hello

  NETFIX.bat an 'L' of the command file

  Not important, but most of what follows is true. It's just a HOW2 simplified for initial review. It is not a definitive guide, don't forget...

  Never believe anything, everything you hear, and only about half of what you see; in particular within this document.

  DISCLAIMER: This is my own personal scribbles used to create a batch file to reduce the typing needed to use some of the commands in my network A2Z nonsense & applying a low degree of automation. Now, I'm not able to ensure the effectiveness of the controls on my system, because it isn't really broken. So use you it at your own risk, your levels of configuration & special access is certain to be different to mine.

  It was written using Notepad and is the plain text that can be scrutinized, edition, amended and implemented by almost everyone.

  Hello

  HOW?

  Well make HP machines, I'm a.  I wrote the code on mine, I ran and tweaked.  Since it is part of the operating system provided with my camera, it must be relevant.

  So when someone asks what is/where or how to find MAC address, he covered (0 GETMAC).

  If someone reports their Wi - Fi dropping out after a short time a possible solution in the list (4 WINSOCK

  You want to know your IP... (1 GET IPs)

  Trial material basis, ping your loopback (6 PING_LO).

  etc etc.

  Then as a sticky it could potentially help solve quite a few queries.  In the same way as The Great Deku Tree posted a sticky on the "Common corrects problems of wireless connectivity", to get ahead of the game by offering something that the OP can try for themselves.

• Batch file gurus: how to copy don't miss it that files between parallel folder by using UNC paths trees

  The problem: you have two directories structures identical, a source and a target.  (Let's say \\srchost\srcfolder and c:\destfolder.)  The goal: using a batch file in Windows XP, browse to the source folders and add all files to the destination tree that do not already exist there.  We are not concerned with the dates, only if the file exists.

  The Replace command has a parameter /a which will do that to a single file, but it will not browse.

  Using the command ForFiles to browse directories and pass them to replace does not work because it does not support UNC paths.

  Winds with the command For being... infernal.  Here is some of the best I have to this day, in the form of a batch file called with the paths of the src and dest as parameters:

  Set srcpath = % ~ f1
  the value destpath = % ~ f2
  for/r % srcpath % (.) DO)
  Set tmpsrc = %% ~ fi
  Set tmpdest = % destpath
  otherwise! tmpsrc! is % srcpath % set tmpdest = call! tmpdest! tmpsrc: % % = srcpath!
  replace/a! tmpsrc! \ *. * « ! tmpdest! »
  )

  I think we can all agree this is really obnoxious, especially because it works only if you start the shell with the V switch: WE.

  This turns into an unhealthy obsession for me.  I wanted a simple batch file solution to this since, oh, around 1990.  Surely, there must be a better way!  Can someone enlighten me?

  And just at the head of some obvious answers:

  1. No, I don't have the option to install just .

  2. do not forget that it must work with the UNC paths, so ForFiles is out.

  Thank you for your ideas!  I really sleep better if there is a healthy way to run this seemlingly simple task.

• Flashing batch file returns the control too fast

  Hi I have a frustrating problem with a simple batch file that I am running on a W2003 server. For simplicity, it did something like this:

  copy a b
  call runprog.exe
  If errorlevel 0 goto done
  echo "error".
  output
  : fact
  echo 'ok '.

  This has been working for a long time, suddenly and only on 1 times out of 10, while it just started running runprog.exe, control is returned in the batch file and it goes to the error condition. On the other 9 times of 10, she does not return control until runprog.exe has finished (as expected).
  I reloaded runprog and tried a new copy of c:\windows\system32\cmd.exe. I also tried runprog.exe without the call - the same results.

  My conclusion is that something underlying in windows is damaged and he needs fixing with SFC or a recharge, but grateful for any ideas who would not so much here

• BACK XCOPY batch file

  I used my memory limited programming back to create a simple series of batch files to back up the important data on 2 separate PC [a running XP Home, the other XP Professional] their respective external hard drives.  For this I used the XCOPY command more switches as shown on different help sites.  The results seem to have been successful.  With the exception of the XP Home PC, where I created the following command to copy the contents of my programs folder

  c:

  xcopy "c:\Program Files\ *.» ' ' * J:\DellPrograms\*.* /CDYSWFHUR

  pause

   

  With the appropriate changes to the details by car this command worked OK on XP Prof. machine  On the XP Home, similar batch files machine worked for pure data files.  But I can't understand why when the execution of the file above on XP Home the DOS window opens - as it should - but when I tap a button to continue the window closes immediately without anything happening. I am aware that reinstalling a program isn't as simple or the same copy of a piece of text, but that shouldn't stop backup me original exe files.  I've fiddled about with some of the switches, but without apparent effect. All the batch files are stored in the folder of programs with links to the desktop for ease of use, but it doesn't make a difference which way I click on it (as I expect).  I am running out of ideas, I hope someone will have a brainwave.

• LEARNING OF BATCH FILES AND WINDOWS CANNOT FIND ' C:\DOCUMENTS'__

  Technical info: Windows XP Pro SP 2. Microsft Office home and Student 2007. AVG Free 9.0.

  Hello

  I am trying to learn the basics of Batch files and am confused right now. I can get a. BAT file to produce a BACK screen and play with some commands, but when I try to get a. BAT file to open a MS Word 07 Doc I get the following message

  Windows cannot find 'C:\Documents '. It stops at Documents. When infact the entire address would include Documents\testdoc or something else. I use Notepad to write the. BAT files.

  If I go into the file target itself and copy and paste the address in XP search utility, it locates the file (with a full name), instantly. But if I do the same copy and paste, paste the address directly in. BAT file for example: C:\windows, DEPARTURE etc etc... It is just straight up with the above mentioned error message.

  All advice forge kindly appreciated. My ultimate goal is to learn how to create a Batch file that will erase the files in different directories about five or six on the click of a button.

  Thanks Mick.

• Automatic execution of the batch file at the connection of the USB drive

  I created a batch file that checks the drive e. the presence of a specific file, and if there, copy it to a location on the hard drive. (Drive E is where all USB drives see the place through my window of Windows Explorer.) I would like to set up my computer so that this batch file is executed whenever such a device is plugged into the USB port. How can I accomplish that?

  Otherwise, is it possible to incorporate the Attaché-USB-player status in the batch file itself and just leave that batch file running at any time? I used "IF EXISTS E:\*.*", but that is not do me much good, because I have to keep control of this condition again and again, and eventually the batch file gets tired of the audit and said that the drive does not exist.

  To respond to your request, you must enter the administrator password to access this command file.
  Instructions for Windows 7
  In order to run as administrator, create a shortcut to the batch file.
  1. right click on the batch file, then click on copy
  2. navigate to the location where you the shortcut
  3. right click on the background of the directory
  4. select Paste shortcut
   
  Then, you can set the shortcut to run as Administrator:
  1. right click on the shortcut
  2. Select Properties
  3. in the shortcut tab, click Advanced
  4. check the box "Run as Administrator"
  5. click on OK, OK

• Batch file question

  How would you on the use of the command prompt to create a text file, fill in the data of your command prompt into the text file and save this information to a user's desktop is currently connected? I find that in my business, I am often required to copy a lot of data that are just easier to collect from the command prompt and I would write a batch file to do this for me I would just say to users by e-mail access on a share of business files. As for example. Let's say that the content of my batch file has something like this:

  echo off
  ipconfig/all
  pause
  %ComputerName%
  pause
  output
  You get the idea. I know that you could use other means to obtain some of this information, but the idea is that I can automate this process so that a user has to do only execute the batch, and then e-mail the .txt document saved on their desktop for me and delete the batch.
  Thanks for any response.
