    XCOPY PLEASE HELP
    « on: November 14, 2009, 05:23:40 PM »
    i'm after a batch file which will copy only those files that have changed today or as a part of this build and deploy them to target servers. if the files to copy are images, globalsources, css etc then then need to copy as normal. If there dlls they need to register them on the target server.

      Shouting in titles is a breach of forum etiquette and is counterproductive; it says "Hey! my problem is more important than all the others!" and that puts peoples backs up. Also your whole tone is "Hey, you! Do my work for me!". Still, you may get some replies.

        C:\>xcopy /?
        Copies files and directory trees.

        XCOPY source [destination] [/A | /M] [/D[:date]] [/P] [/S [/E]] [/V] [/W]
                                   [/C] [/I] [/Q] [/F] [/L] [/G] [/H] [/R] [/T] [/U]
                                   [/K] [/N] [/O] [/X] [/Y] [/-Y] [/Z]
                                   [/EXCLUDE:file1[+file2][+file3]...]

          source       Specifies the file(s) to copy.
          destination  Specifies the location and/or name of new files.
          /A           Copies only files with the archive attribute set,
                       doesn't change the attribute.
          /M           Copies only files with the archive attribute set,
                       turns off the archive attribute.
          /D:m-d-y     Copies files changed on or after the specified date.
                       If no date is given, copies only those files whose
                       source time is newer than the destination time.
          /EXCLUDE:file1[+file2][+file3]...
                       Specifies a list of files containing strings.  Each string
                       should be in a separate line in the files.  When any of the
                       strings match any part of the absolute path of the file to be
                       copied, that file will be excluded from being copied.  For
                       example, specifying a string like \obj\ or .obj will exclude
                       all files underneath the directory obj or all files with the
                       .obj extension respectively.
          /P           Prompts you before creating each destination file.
          /S           Copies directories and subdirectories except empty ones.
          /E           Copies directories and subdirectories, including empty ones.
                       Same as /S /E. May be used to modify /T.
          /V           Verifies each new file.
          /W           Prompts you to press a key before copying.
          /C           Continues copying even if errors occur.
          /I           If destination does not exist and copying more than one file,
                       assumes that destination must be a directory.
          /Q           Does not display file names while copying.
          /F           Displays full source and destination file names while copying.
          /L           Displays files that would be copied.
          /G           Allows the copying of encrypted files to destination that does
                       not support encryption.
          /H           Copies hidden and system files also.
          /R           Overwrites read-only files.
          /T           Creates directory structure, but does not copy files. Does not
                       include empty directories or subdirectories. /T /E includes
                       empty directories and subdirectories.
          /U           Copies only files that already exist in destination.
          /K           Copies attributes. Normal Xcopy will reset read-only attributes.
          /N           Copies using the generated short names.
          /O           Copies file ownership and ACL information.
          /X           Copies file audit settings (implies /O).
          /Y           Suppresses prompting to confirm you want to overwrite an
                       existing destination file.
          /-Y          Causes prompting to confirm you want to overwrite an
                       existing destination file.
          /Z           Copies networked files in restartable mode.

        The switch /Y may be preset in the COPYCMD environment variable.
        This may be overridden with /-Y on the command line.
