This is beyond the capabilities of batch scripting, but could probably be done with vbscript. &nbsp;Like batch, vbscript runs natively without installing any additional software. &nbsp;Would that be acceptable?<br />
<br />
Also, I don't have a digital camera to test with, but when you connect yours does it show up in the <b>Storage\Disk Management </b>node in Computer Management? &nbsp;Can you right-click it , hit <b>Change Drive Letter and Paths</b>, click <b>Add</b>, and mount it to an empty NTFS folder on your C: drive?<br />
<br />
If so then moving the files from a mounted folder would be a lot easier than trying to grab them directly from the camera.<br />

I am looking for a way to copy all of my digital camera pictures into a folder by using a batch file. &nbsp;If it's possible, I would like the batch file to read the date that the picture was taken, and make that date the name of the folder. &nbsp;Once the folder is created, I need the batch to copy all photos to the folder that corresponds to the date the picture was taken . Is this a fairly simple process? Can someone provide a sample of how I would do this, or point me in the right direction? Thanks.

Batch File To Copy Pictures

Batch files are text files containing a script of commands that are executed by the command interpreter on DOS, OS/2 and Windows systems. Most commonly, they are used to perform a series of functions that are repeated -- copying a set of files created daily with one step, for example.
