Thank you Sir. Will try it out.

Thanks a million !

I have another query. How to move files from one location, to two locations?

I have written a batch, but it moves to only the first location (target1), and not the second.

@echo off
move /-y “c:source*.wav” “c:target1”
move /-y “c:source*.wav” “c:target2”

Please help. Appreciate your reply.

Vik

Hi All,

Greetings !

The discussion above was quite helpful. I feel ashamed that I am copying the work you good people are doing. But anyways, it is helping me. I can only say Thank You !

I was just wondering, if we need to move files with a particular extension ( here a notepad – .txt ), what changes should I make to your code ? [Where do I place the .txt]

@echo off
setlocal
:: change the next two statements to match what you want
set srcdir=c:source
set tgtdir=c:target
if not exist %tgtdir%*.* md %tgtdir%
set ctr=0
for /f “tokens=*” %%a in (‘dir “%srcdir%” /o-d /b’) do call :maybemove “%%a”
set /a ctr-=3
echo %~n0: %ctr% files were moved from %srcdir% to %tgtdir%
endlocal
goto :eof
::——————–

:maybemove
:: increment counter and bypass the three newest files
set /a ctr+=1
if %ctr% leq 3 goto :eof
:: remove the double-quotes from the front and back of the filename
set fn=%~1
:: perform the move
move /y “%srcdir%%fn%” “%tgtdir%”
goto :eof
