Batch file addressing help

Here is the scenario:

I have a batch file sitting in the folder 704011007-2695673140 . This is on a server being accessed through a mapped drive setup. So the drive on the server is E which is Z as the mapped drive on the computer I am using. I thought I would mention this in case this could cause problems.

The following is in the batch file...

md "\\e$\WorkQueue Inet\704011007-2695673140"
copy "e:\images\2. Pot O Gold Tournament\Kalamazoo Kings\14 YR\GAME 9\8353-DCM-200-2efv9919.jpg" "\\e$\WorkQueue Inet\704011007-2695673140\5x7 Print-8353-DCM-200-2efv9919.jpg"

Questions:
- does the md... cause issues when the folder already exists.
- if i need to clarify anything please ask

THANKS!

"does the md... cause issues when the folder already exists." - no, but you can set it to only process if it doesn't using:

set folder="\\e$\WorkQueue Inet\704011007-2695673140"
if not exist %folder% then md %folder%

sirbounty

e$ is the 'share' - you really need the full path of the server...
Something like

Set folder=\\servername\e$\WorkQueue Inet\704011007-2695673140
if not exist "%folder%" md "%folder%"
copy "e:\images\2. Pot O Gold Tournament\Kalamazoo Kings\14 YR\GAME 9\8353-DCM-200-2efv9919.jpg" "%folder%\5x7 Print-8353-DCM-200-2efv9919.jpg"
