Windows 10: Batch File Problem

So I want to backup my saved game files after each time I play, as there is a bug after the latest patch that can delete your saves. Figured better to be safe then sorry.

Now I found the following online and edited to my info...

Code: @echo off cd "D:\Must Keep\Game & Other Stuff\theHunter Save" set folder=%date:~4,2%%date:~7,2%%date:~10,4% mkdir %folder% cd "D:\Must Keep\Game & Other Stuff\theHunter Save\%folder%" mkdir "theHunter Save" xcopy /s/e "C:\Users\\Documents\Avalanche Studios\theHunter Call of the Wild\Saves" "D:\Must Keep\Game & Other Stuff\theHunter Save\%folder%\"[/quote] Now it's creating the proper files/folders on my D: drive, but for some reason, it's also creating an empty date folder and an empty game folder (theHunter Save) on my desktop.

Batch Files Knowledge Base

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.

Batch file to ping network

No, batch files are extremely easy.

A "If" requires three extra steps.

Code is not how much you can put in, but how lite can you make it and still perform the functions.

So

@ echo off


ping 1.4.1.4 >a.txt

findstr /m "Request timed out" a.txt
if %errorlevel%%==0 (
echo Save our nets!!!
)

pause
