Robocopy doesn't work with folders given as arguments.
Hi! I'm writing a .bat script to copy exactly one file between two harddrives. First I write this: SET A1=%1 <source> SET A2=%2 <destination> SET A3=%3 <file> This works: (folders are hard-coded) ROBOCOPY C:\test\ "D:\Folder with spaces\" %A3% This does not work: (all arguments) ROBOCOPY %A1% %A2% %A3% When it fails, it can be of several reasons: Robocopy cannot find the file. Robocopy messes up on the folders, so the <source> ends at the first space in <destination> The following tweaks does not either work: Replacing SET A1=%1 with SET A1="%~1" , (along with the rest of the arguments) Omitting spaces, so %A1% %A2% %A3% becomes %A1%%A2%%A3% . Do you have any suggestions to what I can do to get Robocopy to work with all the arguments, with no hard-coding?Can we insert Fields in Folder names (like date field)
It would be helpful if we can insert date fields in folder names. We have a specific date format that we want all of our employees to use. But at times people tend to use their own format for naming the folders and we have to go back and change it to the desired format. So instead, if we can insert a date field(or any other field for that matter) in the folder name, we can easily change the date format(for all the folder names in windows) by simply changing the default date format from the "change date and time settings". Is this possible using any plugins or 3rd party applications?
