Is it posible to copy and make directories automatically from file name substrings using Robocopy?
I mean i have files like these. LAJ00306130201004626.rc
the first 8 chararacters are control number ( LAJ00306
=control number) this would be the name of the folder and the rest are the date and time (Date=130201) (time=004626).
LAJ00306130201004626.rc LAJ00306130202004626.rc LAJ00306130203004626.rc LAJ00307130201004626.rc LAJ00307130202004626.rc
and i would like to copy and create folders from the file name like under and copy the files mentioned before in the new folders.
LAJ00306
LAJ00307
I hope to be clear if necessary ask me for more information
try this, look at the output and remove the echo
s before MD
and ROBOCOPY
, if it looks good:
@ECHO OFF &SETLOCAL ENABLEDELAYEDEXPANSION
SET "sourcefolder=."
SET "targetfolder=X:\data"
CD /d "%sourcefolder%"
FOR %%a IN (*.rc) DO (
SET "fname=%%a"
SET "folder=!fname:~0,8!"
SET "$!folder!=1"
)
FOR /f "delims=$=" %%a IN ('set "$"') DO (
ECHO MD "%targetfolder%\%%a" 2>nul
ECHO ROBOCOPY "%sourcefolder%" "%targetfolder%\%%a" "%%a*.rc"
)
Set sourcefolder
and targetfolder
for your folder tree.
Try this:
@echo off
pushd "c:\source folder"
setlocal enabledelayedexpansion
for %%a in (*.rc) do (
set "name=%%a"
robocopy "%cd%" "%%a" "D:\target directory\!name:~0,8!"
)
popd
Answers to your questions are:
pushd "drive:\\path"
makes the location the current working directory.
popd
restores the last working directory
setlocal enabledelayedexpansion
allows you to change and use variables within a loop, using the !variable! syntax.
If your 2000 files are in a single folder then it should work - but test it on some sample files first so that you can see how it will work.
@ECHO OFF
SETLOCAL
SET "sourcedir=."
SET "destdir=c:\destdir"
FOR /f "tokens=1*delims=_" %%i IN (
'dir /b /a-d "%sourcedir%\*_*."'
) DO XCOPY /b "%sourcedir%\%%i_%%j" "%destdir%\%%i\"
GOTO :EOF
This should accomplish the task described. You'd need to set up the source and destination directories to suit, of course. Add >nul
to the end of the XCOPY
line to suppress 'copied' messages.
