batch file to copy a file

[dwiseman3]

I want to write a batch file to copy a file from one server to another. The filename changes everyday and includes today's date. How do I incorporate the changing filename into the script?

Is the date the only thing that changes in the file name?

[dwiseman3]

yes, only the date changes

Sounds like Robocopy is the boy for you.

You can try this.....


For /f "tokens=2-4 delims=/ " %%a in ('date/t') do (
Set month=%%a
Set day=%%b
Set year=%%c
)
REN D:\Temp\your_file.txt your_file%year%%month%%day%.TXT

should give you a file called your_file20090527.txt
