Copy files that were created yesterday to parent directory

[steelrodman]

Hi All,

I'm looking for a batch file that will copy .txt files to the parent directory one day after they are created.

For example:

1st Jan, 2012 -
hello.txt is created in C:\Parent\Subdir\

2nd Jan, 2012
Batch file is run, hello.txt is copied to C:\Parent\

3rd Jan, 2012
No more files have been created, Batch file is run and does nothing, because hello.txt was created 2 days ago, not 1.


Is this possible?

Thanks for reading

What is the granularity of the check? 22 hours old enough? 23?

What happens when it's 25 hours old, but the batch file wasn't run. It won't be copied.

This batch file is run once a day. Right?

And the hello.txt remains in the parent folder? That's easy.
