I need a script for cmd which copies a certain date file into any other folder. I have a folder with a file type called tab files. Each day a new tab file is generated and pulled into this folder. So in this folder I have 1 file per day. The file name is always called [login to view URL] The first part DYS identifies what kind of information this file holds. 28155 - is a location code of a retail outlet 20180324 - this is the most important part, this is the system date. 20180325 - this is the date the file was pulled after midnight. This part I do not care about. It is the system date I care about. So I need a script which basically reads partial line of the file name and then copy it to another location into a folder. So it would look at DYS_28155_20180324 and that’s it no need to read the rest. I would then edit this code when I need another specific system date and then I can run it again. Please do not use powershell as i find this hard to use. Thanks

Hello, I can write you a Batch File (simpler version of Powershell ) to do this for you. I have 25 years of MS-DOS and WIndows based software engineering, and used to write batch files in the olden days- extensively. (Will need to refresh my memory on the specific method used to extract a sub-string of your file names, though. Anyway, let me know if I can be of help. Cheers

Hello, have you thought about creating an automated solution (we can monitor for changes in specified directory and perform required actions). Please also explain what should happen with the file/filename, once "system date" is a match.

I can make that script for you, only one question. Should script look only for "20180324" (sytem date) or it should look for "DYS_28155_20180324"? Please contact me if you are interested.
