Need to create batch file with 10 sec interval between every 5 files transferred

[zzahid]

I need to create a batch file that copies multiple files (huge # of files) from my xp desktop to a windows 2003 server.
I need to copy 5 files at a time and then take a 10 seconds break in between until all the files are copied.

xcopy a:\file_1    \\10.0.0.5\C$
            (from)        (to)
Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

This is rough idea what is needed. A counter and sleep command.


C:\test>type  zz.bat

Code: [Select]

@Echo off
setlocal enabledelayedexpansion
set /a cnt=0
for /f "delims=" %%i in ('dir /s /b c:\*.txt') do (
set /a cnt=!cnt! + 1
echo cnt=!cnt!
if !cnt! EQU  10  sleep 10
if !cnt! EQU 12 goto end
xcopy /s  %%i    c:\zz\
)

:end
Output:

C:\test>zz.bat
cnt=1
cnt=3
C:\06-07-2010\a1.txt
1 File(s) copied
cnt=4

I have to say, not a bad effort by marvin.
