Hello,
Every day, medical transcriptions in the form of Word docs are downloaded to our Win2K server from a transcription vendor. The download process creates a folder for that date (ex-"022508"). The docs are downloaded to this folder. There are several users that use this service, each has a directory. Each user processes the document, then renames it by adding "PROC" to the filename when it is ready to be archived. I need a simple batch file that will find these "processed" files in each users directory (by searching for "PROC") and move them to an Archive folder assigned to each user.
The path to where the files are found would be similar to:
C:\Transcriptions\Our Company Name\Dr. John Doe, M.D.\022508\transcriptPROC
.doc
C:\Transcriptions\Our Company Name\Dr. Jane Smith, M.D.\022008\transcriptPROC
.doc
The directory "Dr. John Doe, M.D." would have a different name for each user (as in 2nd path above).
The directory "022508" is in the position in the path where a new (additonal) folder is created automatically with the date each time documents are downloaded.
The files need to move to:
C:\Transcriptions\Archives
\JD (for Dr. John Doe)
C:\Transcriptions\Archives
\JS (for Dr. Jane Smith
Where the "JD" and "JS" position in the path would be a directory for each user.
The archive directories do not need to have sub-directories - all files can be lumped into the single directory.
Please note I can't rename any folders, so all the spaces and punctuation must remain.
Having a separate batch file for each user would be acceptable.
Thanks!
