Answer» I've been using a batch file with the following code to copy a file from one location to another :
Code: [Select]XCOPY R:\CYPAYDTA\Bacsfile.seq "S:\PAYROLL\" /Y
EXIT
I now need to be ABLE to copy the file to the same location but change the name to Bacsfile_Date.seq
Any ideas anyone please?if you just need to change the name the command your looking for is 'rename' type Code: [Select] ren [DRIVE:][path]filename1 filename2
Also there is an MSDOS section of the forum that will be better suited to any more DOS/batch related questions you have.
FBCan you steal something from this? http://www.ericphelps.com/batch/samples/ntdate.bat.txt
Edit: Nevermind. Got it.

Code: [Select]XCOPY R:\CYPAYDTA\Bacsfile.seq "S:\Payroll\" /Y
REN S:\Payroll\Bacsfile.seq Bacsfile%date:~4,2%-%date:~7,2%-%date:~10%.seq
EXIT
It turned my test.txt in to test10-23-2008.txt
