Hi

I hope someone can help. I have searched around all the posts but to
be honest i cant quite find what im lookng for exactly.

I need to run a batch file which will go to this location
c:\perflogs\networksops2.csv and move this file to a level down
c:\perflogs\archivedperflogs and rename the file keeping the original
name but adding a date to it ie networkops220070117.csv

This needs to be run every week on a schedule. The original location
every week will have the c:\perflogs\networksops2.csv file added by a
performance log. I need to then archive this data off so it is not
overwritten every week

Can anyone please help, I am new to batch file writing. This is what i
have so far. Not much i know

move c:\perflogs\networksops2.csv
c:\perflogs\archivedperflogs\networksops2.csv

hope someone can help me

thanks alot

Carla

Hi

Thanks for your help. However I have put this into a file and saved as
a .bat file and get errors within in (added the pause function so i
could see what was happening)

errors :

C:\Documents and Settings\Carla.Cund\Desktop>move
c:\perflogs\networksops2.csv

The system cannot find the file specified.

C:\Documents and
Settings\Carla.Cund\Desktop>c:\perflogs\archivedperflogs\networ
ksops2.csv
'c:\perflogs\archivedperflogs\networksops2.csv' is not recognized as an
internal
or external command,
operable program or batch file.

Does this mean anyhting to you?

Thanks Again for all your help

The following is on one line separated by a space, in the batch file - it
seems you have it on two lines.

move c:\perflogs\networksops2.csv
c:\perflogs\archivedperflogs\networksops2%_cy%%_yr%%_mo%%_da%.csv

You're welcome.

Hi again

i had a closer look at the move code and it appears that the file was
mis spelt so that is the reason it couldnt find the specified file!

Now then. It has moved the file. But not added the date into the
filename here is what it has run through-no errors, successfully moved
file but not renamed:

C:\Documents and Settings\Carla.Cund\Desktop>d_t.com 1>d_t.bat

Hope you can help!

Thanks for that, I have done that, and also found tha tthe actual name
of the file was wrong (ooops my fault) So the batch file moves the
file into the correct place, howeveer its not adding the date to the
filename- any ideas? Heres a copy of te script that its run

This line shows that the top portion of the batch file where it looks like
an ascii jumble, is missing or corrupted.

Copy and paste the code from the message again.

I fi cope all of the message again and insert it, I recieve a 16 bit
ms-dos subsystem error. It states

The NTVDM CPU has encountered an illegal instruction. Choose close to
terminate the application.


If i select ignore it still copies the file from the directory to the
other directory but still doesnt rename it. Any ideas?

It's hard to say - did you paste the message into Notepad and save it?

hi

Yes i have copied all this into a notepad and saved as batch.bat ,
double clicked and the error appears. I am running Windows XP, will
this be a factor?
