Command to create a file based on filename

[cappsie]

Hi,

I generate two PDF files, generally something like Z123456_1 and Z123456_2.

I then merge the files using PDFSAM: http://www.pdfsam.org

What I'd like to do change the "merge.pdf" to the Z123456.
Then I need to create a datestamped-directory, with the the Z123456 as the name.

Finally, I copy the three PDFs into that directory.

Clear as mud?

Thanks in advance

Adam

rem Here: Generate the two PDF files
rem Here: Merge the files
for /F "delims=_" %%a in ("%~1") do set baseName=%%a
ren merge.pdf "%baseName%.pdf"
for /F "tokens=1-3 delims=/" %%a in ("%date%") do (
   rem Next line must be changed accordingly to locale date format:
   dateStamp=%%c%%a%%b
)
md "%dateStamp%_%baseName%"
copy "%baseName%*.pdf" "%dateStamp%_%baseName%"
