Think i missed off the %%a will re-edit and test.

Great thanks for that One problem i am now finding is that the folders are moved to the correct location, but they are not in the parent folder, it seems to "skipped" or deleted. I edited the locations back to a test location to try and fix but i can't seem to isolate why it is skipping / ...

Ah it is because i was not entering GO i entered go.

When typing go it closes the window without running.

When I use your provided example it shuts the cmd window is there a way to keep it open?

I thought it was echo off

I have added a way to try and stop accidental usage not sure if it is the best way. I suppose a better way would be with commands for user input? @echo off echo You're about to run the Archive and create batchfile! pause echo Please check to make sure no one is using the archive folder! pause pushd ...

Seems to be working in all tests I have done! Just going to double check a lot of the folders to ensure everything is transferred and intact, then i will make a quick backup just encase and do a final test on the live environment to ensure it still works when the paths are across the network rather ...

Will let you know how i get on.

Running the edit you submitted will let you know the results

Hey, I think the problem I'm facing is that the jobs folders are accessed after they have been stored for example. We do a job for a builder but due to bad weather the job is put on hold, 2 months later the job is back on but he wants an adjustment / remake in which case the drawing is edited and sa...

Re: New to making batch files some help would be awesome. The skip=10 is how many newest folders to leave, and it will move the rest. The section after the first pause statement creates one set of folders, following in sequence from the latest folder. Code: @echo off pushd "\\server\documents\...
