I have looked through a lot of the questions here, and have put together about as much as I can without running into problems.
Goal - I want to check files in Folder 1 that have a date modified of > yesterday. If they exist in Folder 2, I want them deleted in Folder 2. Finally, I want to copy them over to Folder 2.
Here is what I have for the delete step.
cmd /k For %%F In ("Path_Folder_1\*.*") Do If Exist "Path_Folder_2\%%~nxF" Del "%%F" "Path_Folder_2\%%~nxF"
I figured I would do the copy step later, unless it can be combined with this step. Also, I do not know how to integrate the date check into this. I've seen "forfiles" but am not able to understand how to do the same thing with it.
Thanks so much for your help!

I was using arm-objcopy but it doesn't work with my .h file I need to copy to another project.
xcopy "../${project_loc}/src/folder/file.h" "....\OtherProject\folder\folder2\file.h" /Y
The error I get is "Invalid number of parameters". Earlier it was working enough to delete the existing file and ask "Is this File or Directory". /Y is supposed to quiet that according to xcopy docs, but then I find Copy file(s) from one project to another using post build event...VS2010 which suggests otherwise? Either way it didn't let the copy happen quietly.
Project_loc from What are the predefined variables in eclipse?
I would've thought this wouldn't take an hour. Google disagrees with me.
Edit
I flipped the first set of / to \ and now I'm back to
Does ....\Project\folder\folder2\file.h
specify a file name or directory name on the target (F = file, D =
directory)?
xcopy "${ProjDirPath}\src\folder\file.h" "..\..\OtherProject\folder\folder2\file.h" /Y
I had a typo somewhere in the destination, but I used ${ProjDirPath} as ${Project_loc} did not exist for the source.
I have ZERO bat knowledge so thought I would ask here, if I may.
I have an image C:\Users\Dane\Pictures\Doom.jpg. I wish for this image to be copied and for it to be renamed to the exact name of 379 non-image type files which are in another folder which is G:\Doom. So I will have the same image 379 times but named to match the 379 files.
Would anyone be kind enough to write a bat file to do that? Thank you in advance.

This problem is pretty common and can be solved very easily using a FOR statement. In this example we will be searching a directory for every item stored inside. Each item will be added to the integer %%A. For more information do FOR /? inside a command window.
for %%a in ("Directory") DO (Action)
For copying files, we will use the copy command. Please keep note that we will be using parameter extensions to expand the %%A to have no extension using %%~na. More info here: Parameter Extensions
This script will copy & rename Doom.jpg to G:\Doom for each item in the directory.
Batch File:
for %%a in ("G:\Doom\*") do (copy "C:\Users\Dane\Pictures\Doom.jpg" "G:\Doom\%%~na.png")
Command Prompt:
for %a in ("G:\Doom\*") do (copy "C:\Users\Dane\Pictures\Doom.jpg" "G:\Doom\%~na.png")
I want to copy dll from a project to another in same solution in post-build, but all the solution Directory doesn't help me and nothing in Marcos did.
for example:
pro1 in C:/A/B/Pro1
pro2 in c:/A/B/Pro2
solution in C:/A/B/SolutionFolder
I want to copy pro1.dll to pro2/bin
The problem is the SolutionDir is C:/A/B/SolutionFolder
I need to go one level up. I tried these and others nothing helped!
xcopy "$(TargetDir)$(TargetFileName)" "$(SolutionDir)..\Pro1\bin)"
xcopy "$(TargetDir)$(TargetFileName)" "$(SolutionDir)" "(..\Pro1\bin)"
with () and without them
Edit:
And I need to copy this file to 2 directions not only one. I tried && but it didnt work
need some help with this one
I have a directory that contains subdirectories from various applications so let's say directory is c:\home and each application has a subdirectory called the application name so we will have
c:\home\app1
c:\home\app2
etc.
These applications write large log files and they then get recreated every hour but into a different directory, called according t date and time like dd/mm/yyyy/hr and this is created within the actual subdirectory and a log file with the exact same name will be within each directory for each app. so we will end up with this
c:\home\app1\1015201410\app1.log
c:\home\app1\1015201411\app1.log
c:\home\app1\1015201412\app1.log
c:\home\app2\1015201410\app2.log
c:\home\app2\1015201411\app2.log
c:\home\app2\1015201412\app2.log
I want to list through the directories every hour and collect the latest log from each application, in other words in this instance I want to collect the following 2 only as they are the latest (end time 12 shows it is the 12th hour)
c:\home\app1\1015201412\app1.log
c:\home\app4\1015201412\app2.log
Now getting the file one by one is easy enough but the script is going to become too long and needs to be edited on a regular base to allow for new applications added to the directories.
I am able to do the copying, formatting the time/date section etc. I just need to find a way to search through the home directories for all subdirectories containing the latest timedate and then copy a file from it elsewhere.
So I tried this. Note timedateformat has been predefined:
for /D %%d in (c:\home\*\%timedateformat%\*) do (
for %%f in (%%d\.log) do (
xcopy %%f C:\destination\
)
)
but this obviously does not like the * part and therefore I will get no result.
Please if anyone is able to assist, I would greatly appreciate.
for /d %%F in ("c:\home\*") do xcopy "%%F\%timedateformat%\*.log" "c:\destination\"
I am a Batch-newbie, so please accept my apologies and Thanks in advance !
This "tool" is to automate the slimming down of Windows (XP) by disabling certain system driver, DLL and EXE files. Instead of outright deletion, I wish to rename-in-place, thus "removing" them from the OS, but not losing sight of where they belong (should any need to be "restored"). Renaming is accomplished by appending a new suffix to the existing filename (eg: "wdmaud.drv.group_1") The renaming suffix should be another input variable.
The target-list is approx. 1100 files long (divided into various groups/phases), so manual renaming is out of the question. Each group will be processed in a separate run of the batch file, varying the target-list input file for each execution.
Target-list is plain text file, one filename per line (no other data in the files). Number of entries per group varies. Target list will look like this:
-- example start --
netapi.dll
netcfgx.dll
netdde.exe
netevent.dll
neth.dll
netid.dll
netrap.dll
nic1394.sys
-- example end --
Filenames may be in UPPER, lower, or MiXeD case. The files may be present in more than one folder in the C:\Windows hierarchy - or may not be present at all. If a file is not found anywhere in the system, it's name should be written to a text file, one-entry-per-line.
The specific folders of interest are:
C:\WINDOWS\
C:\WINDOWS\system\
C:\WINDOWS\system32\
C:\WINDOWS\system32\dllcache
C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers
The renaming will be done by connecting the target OS drive to another XP computer, so locked system files should not be a problem.
Any help you can offer will be greatly appreciated.
a double FOR loop may help you.. this is a very simple example, just to get you started
for /f "tokens=*" %%f in (%targetlist%) do (
for /f "tokens=*" %%d in (%dirlist%) do (
if exist "%%d\%%f" echo %%f found in %%d
)
)
