Hi,
I am on win2000 and try to make your script (year 2002) works;
I dont know why the file zize does not print on screen and the copy (line I
added) dont copy too.

::comfilsiz C:\learnJava\RemindMe\RemindLog.txt
C:\learnJava\RemindMe\back\RemindLog.txt
@echo off
set /a size_of_file1= %~z1
set /a size_of_file2= %~z2

@echo.
@echo File 1 (%1) size is %size_of_file1%
@echo File 2 (%2) size is %size_of_file2%
@echo.

if %size_of_file1% GTR %size_of_file2% echo File 1 is larger than File 2.
if %size_of_file1% EQU %size_of_file2% echo File 1 is same size as File 2.
if %size_of_file1% LSS %size_of_file2% echo File 1 is smaller than File 2.

if %size_of_file1% GTR %size_of_file2% do copy %1 C:\learnJava\RemindMe\back
/Y

goto:EOF
Thanks for your attention,

Hello Jean Pierre,

the batch seams ok, the second line may be wrong. A .txt file is normally
not executable. Assuming the batch has the name comfilsiz.bat or .cmd
you should enter

comfilsiz filename1 filename2

at the commandline to get it working correctly. I would also include
a test for existence of both files.

The original post was

You added the 'if ... do copy ...' line, which the original did not contain.

Maybe there are no files named 'RemindLog.cmd' in your directories?
