Script File Help Please.....

[*JimmyJ*]

Trying to write a script file which will create a directory on another drive with the following folders

Monday
Tuesday
Wednesday
Thursday
Friday

Then copy the contains of a directory

c:\documents and settings\ profile name\My documents\*.*

to the correct folder above depending on what day it is. I want the script to over write all files and folders within the folder its copying too. I want it to also copy all sub folder and hidden files from

c:\documents and settings\ profile name\My documents\*.*

to the said folders as well.

How do i write this script.

Where do you want it to create the folders?

 

[manicmonkey]

easiest thing to do would be to use windows backup...

start > programs > accessories > systems tools > backup

Hmmm, thinking about it this is a little more difficult than I expected and I have a meeting in 5 mins. Not too sure how you would get the script to figure out the day of the week from the date and time stamp on the files without some serious effort.

basically, I want to have a 5 day backup of the contents of a directory copied into folders called Monday, Tuesday, etc etc..
