Specs: Windows XP

I wish to create a batch file which will copy image files created in the last hour to anotherfolder. Note I only want to copy files with a .jpg extension.

Can anyone help with this?

It can easily be done in fact, step 1 is to have a tool that can behold the current time and

date, into parameters.

Do you have that ?

If not - and this is a question towards the expert - do we here at Computing.net have some

kind of single reference for such things ?

tvc:do we here at Computing.net have some kind of single reference for such things ?

The general consensus is that date math in CMD sucks. What we do about it depends on theguy answering the question. Some will use debug.exe to write a .COM file; others (me) will

suggest VBScript; the rest typically suggest a third party language. If Win7 is involved,

POWERSHELL! would technically be a valid alternative.

No one has bothered to write any of this down in a central source.

I would agree, apart from the last line. I'm sure somebody would have, but it's a matter of

getting that one being recognized, and used.

actually, in this case, since it's time and not date, you could probably just let AT do most ofthe work. set up the bat to reschedule itself for +1hour after running the copy operation.

time is not as hard to deal with as dates.

@op: if interested in script to add time to current time, let me know, i wrote one for

something else awhile back and it's still laying around.

"No one has bothered to write any of this down in a central source."@Razor, thats a good idear, if 'someone' would set something up like a faq or "how-to"

page, but we'll probably just keep improvising and muddle through! :(

Time is definatly easier, indeed.

I like the solution you posted Nbrane, but keep in mind that it does have some serious

drawbacks, and the biggest one being the fact that the script itself (that what you put into

the scheduling) does NOT contain the 1-hour rule.

You are allowing the wrapper (super-script feature, by means of scheduler) take over thattask. Now, if that one fails (scheduler down, server down, scheduler blocked, ...) the script

itself may behave weird on it (and basically, not take only the files within the 1-hour rule).

You must always have any constraint, as close to the core as possible, so that any runningof it, uses that constraint.

Dngood, if you want to, I'll write a script to help you with it. But, there's a catch, being thatI will rely on other scripts I have (the ones handling the time), so in other words, it'll be a

collection of scripts. What I would do, is to write 1 script, that can do the following :

Copy 1 file to another folder, only if the file is less than one hour old. It'll be somethinglike:

xcopytime.cmd C:\source\test.jpg C:\target 60

Which would copy file C:\source\test.jpg to C:\target but only if the file is "less than 60minutes old". To check on the "age" of a file, I'll need to call other script, which are

custom.

Let me know if you want this.

That sounds great to me; there's no problem running multiple scripts as long as it's fairly

easy to implement!

VBScript copies files modified up to an hour ago:Const srcDir = "c:\images"Const destDir = "c:\SomeWittyName"hourAgo = DateAdd("h", -1, Now)Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

For Each f In fso.GetFolder(srcDir).FilesIf LCase(fso.GetExtensionName(f)) = "jpg" _And f.DateLastModified > hourAgo Then _f.Copy destDir & "\"

If you are still interested, got a script to copy files, under condition that the file is less than

X minutes old. Scripts are not nicely tuned, but they work. If you need 'em, PM me with

your email adress.

D:\Temp>recentfilecopy test.txt c:\ 2 /Y

File test.txt is 15 minutes old.

File test.txt is older than 2 minutes.

NO copy action is performed now.

D:\Temp>recentfilecopy test.txt c:\ 19 /Y

File test.txt is 15 minutes old.File test.txt is less than 19 minutes old.

xcopy test.txt c:\ /Y

D:test.txt

1 File(s) copied
