Hello,

I would like to create a .BAT file to copy a file from one location to another.

For example: I want to copy the file C:\my pictures\photo1 and send it to the following folder C:\my videos\ and keep the same name, photo1.

Can someone help me?

Thank you

Hi  Start Menu, Run then type cmd In the window type copy /? and you will get the syntax.  Then you can create your *.bat file with the information.

Thank you, but could you give me the code I need to write to copy the file to another one? I'm a beginner and I'm not sure what to write.

In the .BAT file, should I write:

@echo off
the command line
exit

Thank you!

I created the .BAT file with this command but it doesn't work

@echo off
copy C:\Documents and Settings\My Documents\My Videos\display.pps C:\Documents and Settings\My Documents\My Pictures\display.pps
exit

Am I forgetting something?

Thank you

try with xcopy

Papoux123 · Answer

It doesn't work with xcopy anymore.  On several sites, they also mention this line that includes several functions. Maybe I need to include some, but which ones??

I just tried with the command line:  copy "C:\env\1.jpg" "C:\recep"  it works  It seems that the file names are too long. Is there anything we can do?  Thank you!

Papoux123 · Answer

The problem is solved, it's because I had an acute accent on the word "video". I renamed it without the accent and everything works.  Thank you for the help :)
