Copy and rename file

[jvuz]

Hi,

this is my situation: I'm aving a file (test.pdf) and I want to copy it to another folder and rename it to 120001.pdf. But the goal is also to do this 200 times, so the second time it should become 120002.pdf, the next one 120003.pdf. Is this possible?

Code: Select all

@echo off &setlocal enableDelayedExpansion

set "$filename=test"
set  "$fileext=pdf"
set     "$tdir=C:\this works"
set   "$cstart=120001"
set     "$cend=120201"
for %%? in (

   !$cstart!, 1, !$cend!

) do    copy /v /y "!$filename!.!$fileext!" "!$tdir!\!$filename!%%~?.!$fileext!"

endlocal &exit /b 0

untested !

Thanks a lot Ed. The result is I'm geeting now 3 files:

test120201.pdf

the goal is to get
120001.pdf
120002.pdf
...

oops !

Code: Select all

@echo off &setlocal enableDelayedExpansion

set "$filename=test"
set  "$fileext=pdf"
set     "$tdir=C:\this works"
set   "$cstart=120001"
set     "$cend=120201"
for /l %%? in (

   !$cstart!, 1, !$cend!

) do    copy /v /y "!$filename!.!$fileext!" "!$tdir!\!$filename!%%~?.!$fileext!"

endlocal &exit /b 0

Great! The only thing is it's still showing as test120001.pdf, and so on.


I arranged it by changing the bottom command to this:

for /l %%? in (

!$cstart!, 1, !$cend!

) do copy /v /y "!$filename!.!$fileext!" "!$tdir!\%%~?.!$fileext!"

endlocal &exit /b 0

So the end file is this

Code: Select all

@echo off &setlocal enableDelayedExpansion

set "$filename=test"
set  "$fileext=pdf"
set     "$tdir=C:\this works"
set   "$cstart=120001"
set     "$cend=120201"
for /l %%? in (

   !$cstart!, 1, !$cend!

) do    copy /v /y "!$filename!.!$fileext!" "!$tdir!\%%~?.!$fileext!"

endlocal &exit /b 0
