Title: Batch File Need Help
Post by: myusri on March 12, 2009, 04:56:51 AM

I have create this batch file:

@echo off
REM Print the welcome message
echo Hello, Welcome to MS-DOS batch file For question 2aii

REM pause the screen
pause

REM clear the screen
cls

REM notify to list the current folder list
echo Listing all text files in current directory...


REM Listing the content of the current directory
dir *.txt/a/ogn

REM Delete all the text file
del *.txt

REM To check if txt file exit or not

if exist patuh.txt del patuh.txt

pause

Actually I want this progam to:
-Display all file and subdirectories including hidden files in the floopy disk
-Then the program will delete all text files in floppy disk before clear the screen
-After that prog will check whether the any text files exist or not in current directory, if exist all the text files copy to floopy disk, else change the colour of  the screen background and foreground to red or yellow

Quit tricky but i m still  no idea to continue the prog. Anyone can help plz?
