I am very new to programming/coding. I'll try my best to explain my problem (sry for my english).
Im working on a Windows Server 2012 and I want to create a batch script which selects the oldest file in a folder, renames it, moves it to another folder and renames it again.
Another way to explain it:
I got this so far from somewhere else in here but I dont know if it works or what exactly it means I just saved it so I have at least something to show you guys..
@echo off
cd c:\Test
for /F "delims=" %%a in ('dir /B /A:-D /O:D /T:W') do (
move "%%a" C:\Another\Location
goto continue
)
:continue
I think I have to include the following: ren [drive:][path]TargetMask but Im not sure at all... I hope you can understand this. I already tried to look up my problem but just got more confused... Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you

How to move and rename the oldest (by last written time) file in a folder using cmd, pushd, for in do, set, move, and popd.
When you are happy the script will do what it says it will do make the following changes.
Change %userprofile%\\desktop
to C:\\Another\\Location
Change pushd "%userprofile%\\desktop"
to pushd c:\\test
Change echo move
to move
script:
