Is it possible to use a wildcard (instead of hard-coding entire file name) to copy files from one location to another? Also, I'd like to attach HHSS (hours and seconds) to the file name.
Example: Everyday, our system generates a few files with following name format:
GL_YYYYMMDD.txt
AP_YYYYMMDD.txt
I want to copy/move these files to another folder called "Backups" and attach HHSS (hours and seconds) so file name would look something like:
GL_YYYYMMDDHHSS
AP_YYYYMMDDHHSS
What I have so far:
Rem Determine date
Set mm1=%date:~4,2%
Set dd1=%date:~7,2%
Set yyyy1=%date:~10,4%
REM Determine Time
Set HH=%time:~0,2%
IF "%HH:~0,1%" == " " SET HH=0%HH:~1,1%
Set MM=%time:~3,2%
Set SEC=%time:~6,2%
Set runtime=%HH%%MM%%SEC%
rem Seconday date backup
cd E:\Blackline\DailyFiles
copy GL* E:\Blackline\Backups\"GL*%runtime%"
pause
Try this. If you remove the .txt extensions, copy the files, then add the extension back you end up with your copied files retaining their original names with the added timestamp.
Rem Determine date
Set mm1=%date:~4,2%
Set dd1=%date:~7,2%
Set yyyy1=%date:~10,4%
REM Determine Time
Set HH=%time:~0,2%
IF "%HH:~0,1%" == " " SET HH=0%HH:~1,1%
Set MM=%time:~3,2%
Set SEC=%time:~6,2%
Set runtime=%HH%%MM%%SEC%
rem Seconday date backup
cd E:\Blackline\DailyFiles
rename *.txt *.
copy GL* E:\Blackline\Backups\GL*%runtime%.txt
rename *. *.txt
pause
