  1. Unable to move, copy, delete, or rename a file


    A user screenshotted a twitter feed and did not rename the file. The file name is now exceedingly long, causing issues with our backup service due to the filepath length. I have tried moving, copying, renaming, and deleting the file, but nothing happens, not even an error. I can save a file copy and that has no is

  2. Help with .bat to Copy and Rename to the same dir?

    Hi guys,

    Me and a friend is playing a prank on another friend, and this is pretty harmless, just a "friendly" reminder to him ^^

    So, basically, the title explains it mostly, but I will go into detail.

    What I need is a .bat that will create multiple .txt files in one directory. They must have some text in them.

    That or copy an existing .txt file, and rename the multiple copies.

    Like so:

    Copy multiple instances of filename.txt from C:/ to C:/folder/ and rename them so none of them gets deleted.

    Or

    Create filename.txt in C:/folder/ and make multiple copies of it, and rename them so none of them gets deleted.

    Hopefully this will make sense ^^

    Thanks in advance,
    Val

    Java.nio.file - Copying files

    You can't copy a folder, thats why it generates an exception (you are trying to copy a folder using a copy file function).
    You probably need to list all the files inside that folder and copy one by one
