would like a batch file in command line or written in VBSCRIPT for the following scenario:
There are 2 folders:
1-IncomingData 2-NewestData
The 1-IncomingData folder has several .txt files in it, new files arrive in this folder every day.
When I run the script, I would like to accomplish the following:
- Copy the newest/most recent text file from 1-IncomingData to 2-NewestData - only - if a new file is found in 1-IncomingData since the last time the script ran, otherwise do not copy it into 2-NewestData (in which case you would leave 2-NewestData folder empty)
The script below is incomplete and I cannot accomplish what I am looking for:
pushd "C:\Users\CP\Desktop\Data\1-IncomingData\" for /f "tokens=* delims= " %%G in ('dir/b/od') do (set newest=%%G) copy %newest% C:\Users\CP\Desktop\Data\2-NewestData\ popd
fc /b "%newest%" C:\Users\CP\Desktop\Data\2-NewestData>nul 2>&1 if %errorlevel% equ 0 ( del /q "%newest%" ) else ( copy /y "%newest%" C:\Users\CP\Desktop\Data\2-NewestData\ )
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
