I am trying to write a MOVE batch file to move a set of directories with some images in them to another directory that has the same contents in it. However i want to keep the both copies of the images, so i am trying to make the batch file move and rename the files only from A to B.

i have

xcopy C:\Folder\Main C:\Folder\Secondary /e

but i dont know how to add RENAME correctly, i want to rename the files in each directory but not the directories. I want the directories to stay the same and merge together, but the files withing the directories i want to rename so i keep the original files and the copies. Right now it keeps asking me to overwrite or skip which i do not want.

hi, i guest this may be will help
firstly copy the files to another directory as you write

xcopy C:\Folder\Main C:\Folder\Secondary /e

then rename the file after changing to the copied directory, copy the files from the copied directory to were you want it to be

cd c:\folder\secondary\e
ren *.extension *. extension
xcopy c:\Folder\Secondary\e C:\Folder\main
hope this will help

This will add -01 to the end of every file in the "C:\Folder\Main" tree and then merge the folders.

Test it on sample directories first.

Code: Select all

@echo off
for /f "delims=" %%a in (' dir "C:\Folder\Main" /b /s /a-d ') do ren "%%a" "%%~na-01%%~xa"
xcopy "C:\Folder\Main\*.*" "C:\Folder\Secondary\" /e
