Batch file to copy files

Asked by ewalsh in Windows Batch Scripting, MS DOS, Automation

Tags: , ,

I have a large number of 3.5" floppy disks to copy off onto a hard drive.
I want to automate this so it can be done by a temp. So I will need something very simple.

Batch file came to mind BUT its been a decade or so since I wrote one.
All files will be written to F:/floppy/
I want to ask user for folder name to create/use in f:/floppy/ and then copy everything in A: to this folder.

The machine being used is a Win Vista 32 Bit.
So steps should be like:

1 Ask to give a folder name that will be created on hard drive for the files.
2  The files will be copied to F:/floppy/<name of folder you gave to question 1> Create folder if its not already created.
3. verify the files
4. when done ask to eject disk and insert next disk or quit
5 repeat to 1 (if you didn't quit)

I know this shouldn't be hard to do. But again I have forgotten my batch file skills.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your time.
