Simple Batch file which I cant do! Copy/ Move

[*JimmyJ*]

Need a batch file which does the following. Copies all files from c:\folder1 to c:\folder2, then moves all the files from c:\folder1 to c:\folder1\archive.

I can do the copying process but not the moving part any ideas?

cheers

Might help if you posted the batch and errors.

not sure move does folders, only files. it may work if you have no subfolders.
Alternatively rar them via cmd line to the archive & then delete
c:\rar.exe a -pPASSWORD -dh c:\destination.rar c:\folder1\*.* is what we use

Dont get no errors , it just doesn't move the file once copied to the archive location.

Whats the command you are running? Does it work outside the batch?

aye post the batch file txt - lets have a looksi

xcopy "\\server3\calls\company\xyz.WAV" c:\test\local /S /Y

move "\\server3\calls\company\xyz.WAV" \\server\Calls\company\Archive calls

Ideally I want to copy all the wav files within the company folder, and move to the archive folder, but im just trying it with one file first.

You need the inverted comas around the last section due to the space in the name:

move "\\server3\calls\company\xyz.WAV" "\\server\Calls\company\Archive calls"

 

[@Spoonie]

Try move "\\server3\calls\company\xyz.WAV" "\\server\Calls\company\Archive calls"
