Have a folder with files and a TXT file with a list of file names that I need copying from 1 folder to another
the script if copying the files but if the txt file has 2 files of the same name it keeps over writing the old file
In the list I have
file1.txt file2.txt file1.txt file2.txt
I want the achieve the following
file1.txt file2.txt file1(1).txt file2(1).txt
the script if copying the files but if the txt file has 2 files of the same name it keeps over writing the old file
In the list I have
