    A simple batch file...?


    Hi,


    It's been a while since I delved into the depths of Windows - and long before Windows 10 - but I would like to write a batch file to copy files from a folder on my Windows 10 PC to 2 separate folders - one on an SD card and the other on an external hard drive (I have my reasons!)


    There are two complications:


    The files an extension *.xyz and a backup of the same file has the extension *.xyx.backup (not my doing!) and I only want to copy the *.fra files.


    The destination folders have sub-folders named similar to a date, eg "201905" for May 2019 and I would like to use the 'Date modified' value of the files to be copied to place them in the appropriate folder, eg filename1.xyz with a modified date of 12/12/2019 to be copied to the 201912 folder.


    I thought Xcopy would be the way forward - and I can do the simple bit - but not with the complications above.


    Any help would be appreciated, thanks A simple batch file...? :)

    :)

    Don't use batch files very much but one I find useful is for creating a list of files in a directory.
    Just copy the text below into Notepad and save as Filelist.bat

    dir /a /-p /o:gen >filelist.txt

    When you run it from a folder it will create a Filelist.txt file,in the same folder, that lists all the files in that folder.Useful when you are too lazy to type all the files out yourself.
