I am trying to make a batch/script file that will repeatedly COPY a file from one location to another. I don't care if it overwrites the file or if it doesn't copy if the file exists. But I want a batch file that copies a file within a loop.
How do I go about making a batch file to repeatedly copy a file?
loop:
copy /y a.txt c:/b.txt
Goto loop
It runs once.
batch.bat:
rere:
copy /y c:\folder1\abc.txt c:\folder2\abc.txt
pause
goto rere
output when double-clicking batch.bat:
C:\Users\User\Desktop> rere:
'rere:' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
C:\Users\User\Desktop> copy /y c:\folder1\abc.txt c:\folder2\abc.txt
1 file(s) copied.
C:\Users\User\Desktop> pause
Press any key to continue . . .
:loop
copy file1 file2
Goto loop
is how. See goto /?
and copy /?
