I was thinking of doing a project yesterday (since abandoned) that
required multiple copies of a template. In text or html. Is there a
quick and easy way to do this ? A utility perhaps ?

I know I can create a file, go File - Save as and change the
filename, but that would get very tedious after a while. Particularly
if I wanted dozens of identical files.

Suggestions anyone ?

Regards, John.

Hi, John, do you use AutoIt? If you do, here are a few lines
that would work:

- change "text.txt" in "\text.txt" into the filename you want to
copy;
- change "text" in "\text" into the destination filename;
- change ".txt" into the destination filename extension would
do.
- change "5" in "$num = 5" into the number of file you want to
copy.


;================
$num = 1
do
FileCopy (@ScriptDir & "\text.txt", @ScriptDir & "\text" & $num
&".txt")

$num = $num + 1
until $num = 5

Exit
; ==========================

R. L., you rock! )
How many of you there are?
It's impossible that only one human being can produce so many works in so
little time! ;-)

RJH Extensions includes a right-click option in Explorer to duplicate one or
more files in the same directory, adding a bracketed (1) to the duplicate.
You could double up by multiplying the two files to four, four to eight etc.
The program adds other useful right-click functions including command
prompt, saving path to clipboard, file encryption and printing/saving
directory list.
