Help needed for Beginner in DOS commands

[hydrotruth]

Hello to all members!

First time in this forum and would like some assistance if possible.
I need to create and run a batch file to do the following:

To save a .htm file of a particular webpage to a directory example C:/test.htm
Needs to run every 10secs, replace the file test.htm with the new one and keep the same name.

Can this be done? Any assistance would by greatly appreciated.

This could be done using additionally vbs or powershell.

To loop you may using timeout (>?= Win Vista +) and goto (this is scetched, and has to be terminated using ctrl + c):

Code: Select all

@echo off
:loop
echo do something here
timeout /T 10
goto :loop
