Data copy batch script

Change  line. 7 to move "%%I" "c:\archive"

Delete lines 17 too 23. The RENAME  section.

If just one operation is done, you can replace the CALL COPY to just  COPY "%%I "C:\Test\DIR2

Thanks for the reply!  Line  7 is "if not exist..."  I'm not sure where you are referencing.

I want to copy files from Test\JCAO to Test\Gendoc.  If the file being copied exists, I want the conflicting file to be move to Test\Gendoc\Archive and then the copy job runs.

Maybe its my phone. Line 7 is CALL :RENAME "%%I"

Error my last post. Should be

If just one operation is done, you can replace the CALL COPY to just  COPY "%%I" "C:\Test\DIR2"

Refresh your web page.

AFAIK, the MOVE command doesn't echo results. Please verify. If not, just enable the line above it, which i REM'd

Also, I put everything in line, w/o the CALLs.

I ran the script you just provided and the files (file1.doc, file2.doc) in Test\JCAO are moved right into Test\Gendoc\Archive even though file1.doc and file2.doc don't exist in Gendoc.  The files should be copied from JCAO, not moved.  

The only ones that should be moved are when there is a conflict between the files copied into Gendoc from JCAO.  If they already exist in Gendoc, those in Gendoc should be moved and then the file should be copied from JCAO to Gendoc so there is no conflict.

See my last post, which I revised.

        REM Enable above line if MOVE command doesn't echo results

Just ran the revised script.  A bit more information.  The files being copied from JCAO to Gendoc are updated versions of the files in Gendoc.  So when I copy the new files from JCAO, their older versions exist in Gendoc.  Because of this, I want to archive the old version before copying over the new ones.

**just saw you posted a new reply**  testing now.

> I want to archive the old version before copying over the new ones.
Define "archive". I presume you want to move them. Please confirm. Do you want to move them or rename them? Moving would be easier.

Improvement!!

The files are moved to archive if they exist in gendoc when copied from jcao.  However, the files are moved out of jcao instead of copied.  I need them to remain in jcao (the folder is actually named day_it_was_updated [example 031116] so it needs to remain).

My apologies.  Archive=move them

*Confused* between Move and Copy.
Please clarify entire requirements

the latest script you provided moves the file from jcao to gendoc.  i need it to copy the file so the files remain in jcao.

directory structure BEFORE script runs
c:\test\jcao\file1.doc (last updated 0311)
c:\test\jcao\file2.doc (last updated 0311)

c:\test\gendoc\file1.doc (last updated 0218)
c:\test\gendoc\file2.doc (last updated 0213)


after script runs
c:\test\jcao\
c:\test\jcao\

c:\test\gendoc\file1.doc (last updated 0311)
c:\test\gendoc\file2.doc (last updated 0311)



c:\test\gendoc\archive\file1.doc (last updated 0218)
c:\test\gendoc\archive\file2.doc (last updated 0213)

See how after the script runs, the JCAO directory is empty?  I need the files to be there after the copy job.  Right now they are removed after the script runs.

Hot damn!  You got it and the logging works as well!  Thanks for your patience and working to find the solution.

Always a pleasure to work with someone like NVIT!

Thank you. I'm glad we worked that out, SamIAm41! Have a nice day.
