Re: Need help writing a batch file for copying files
The script works perfect and exactly what I needed. That's great, thanks for your feedback. I made a typo in your code that makes no difference to the operation but I had intended to clean up the screen output. In the code above I changed this " 2>nul " to this " >nul " and it j...

Re: Create a small Dictionary [ A B C ]
It's nice of you to ackowledge aacini - but you supplied no extra information here. I'm only pointing this out for you to consider a situation where it was you that was helping people with a programming task and they only showed you this kind of non-information.

Re: Need help writing a batch file for copying files
Are you suggesting copying the files into a storage folder, so I have 2 copies, and then using the move script that was written? The asnwer is Yes. I didn't follow your meaning at that time. But because you are only doing a batch of files you can use this. @echo off set "source=C:\testC" ...

Re: Combine certain checks before executing
I'll be clear here and say that after more than 20 years of providing free computer support, I no longer read huge wads of code that come with a poor description or no description. You have little awareness of the pitfalls in providing free programming support, and very often it's code that doesn't ...

Re: Combine certain checks before executing
Fox - Yes - which is why I'm confused. No you didn't understand. You ignored it completely without asking for clarification of any point that you didn't understand. You're being obtuse and have a very poor grasp of programming. You shove a wad of code in a post and say nothing about it, expecting p...

Re: Combine certain checks before executing
HI Fox - I think I speak English Do my posts need more clarity? Did you understand any of the words I wrote after "English?" Programming code is not English. Using a phase "checks in there that will spool to a text file" has no meaning without context about the actual process. P...

Re: Creating a script to gather PC information - to assist those asking for help
Regardless of reasons why it shouldn't be, I know of many people who remove it or simply move it, and there are many sites explaining how to do so. You're right Compo, as I ran without a page file for years. I would comment though that a person who has disabled or moved their page file is likely to...

Re: Combine certain checks before executing
Using English to describe what you are doing, and giving small examples in code along with it, is a better way to illustrate your problem and target that exact issue. If you have more aspects to describe then add them too, in targeted descriptions. Readers can then go further and read a large sectio...

Re: Need help writing a batch file for copying files
As for option 1, Are you suggesting copying the files into a storage folder, so I have 2 copies, and then using the move script that was written? No. You have your files in C:\testC at present. The script can create a folder in C:\testC\storage and then copy them as needed but move the original fil...

Re: Need help writing a batch file for copying files
To be fair on my part, in my original post, it did say copy and not move. I stated this several times. My mistake was having the move function in my original code to begin with. That is exactly how I made my mistake. I read your question and had taken in the main aspects of your task. I then quoted...

Re: Need help writing a batch file for copying files
Perfect! Thank you. Is this possible to do with copy instead of move? I changed the move to copy and after the destination file disappears it selects the same file it did before. Yes, it does this because the code looks for the oldest file in the folder. When using copy the file hasn't been shifted...

Re: How to rename files like 00080.jpg to 01080.jpg?
I have explained it: I need to change one digit from 0 to 1. That is the change. And I said files not one file. It is clear from the example: 0 0 080.jpg changed to 0 1 080.jpg It's not clear at all because you could have filename clashes during your renaming and you don't have the knowledge to rea...
