DOS/NT bat file help needed URGENT
I have a file that is created (0526000004.TMP) in one directory. The file is creating daily and has the format of today's date being in the name (ie. file above is the file for May 26, 2004).

I need to go to that directory and grab that file (based on today's date, but formatted like the filename is formatted "MMDDxxxxYY".TMP), copy or move that file to another directory called "Backup", then copy that file to another directory called "Renamed" and rename the file "Import.TMP". From the "Renamed" directory, I will be importing that file daily into an MS Access Db.

This will be a daily occurrence.

Im rough with DOS commands, so any help would be much appreciated!

Thanks
Cavall

DOD/NT BAT to copy rename daily
Hi Cavall,

Do you still need this?

If so, what OS(s) are you using? Exactly.

And does the xxxx in the filename matter?
