Re: Xcopy switch help

xcopy c:\users\user\test e:\test /s /d /e /y /v Is there a switch to truly copy only source files that have changed, or a switch that I should remove? Try changing /d to /m The first time xcopy copies all files, while the next times, it only copies new or changed files But the problem with this is ...

Re: Speecher | A Pro Text-to-Speech Engine in Batch | By PaperTronics

Re: List of First Post Topic Titles (only)?

What I usually do when I need to find something like this is select the advanced search and return only the topic title. Then, I'll open each topic title of interest in another thread.

(Although you probably may also use hybrid jscript/bat or C#/bat scripts .) penpen Not only this, but it also depends on the system you are running it on as well. Some systems may hav...

Re: Xcopy switch help

Also, what are the two file systems involved? There are some time/date nuances between FAT and NTFS.

Re: parameter file sent to a batch file

All batch files have implicit variables starting with %1. Variables are after the batch name on the command line.

Re: Multiple forum sections?

While multiple levels of a forum can be useful, I actually like the single, busy forum. No need to complicate it. Just leave it as is. Everything works fine.

Re: Automatic pdf merger for simular filenames

Easiest way to get this working would be to copy/move those files to a single folder. Otherwise, this will grow in complexity.
