Re: search files,copy+paste to new folder (batch file softwa

Hi Antonio, Firstly I just wanted to thank you again for the batch file you created for me. It sometimes struggles to find the correct file but because of the log file it creates, I can easily go back and grab them manually. For me the main plus is the fact that I no longer have to be concentrating ...

Re: search files,copy+paste to new folder (batch file softwa

I've tested the batch file over the last few days with many txt files. The main recurring problem I'm having is with the txt files where the names begin with numbers :/ I think I've got a solution though! Can you create several very slightly different batch files? For example... A batch file for txt...

Re: search files,copy+paste to new folder (batch file softwa

Hi Antonio, Thank you for adding the "0" log file. Yes I think if only 1 result is given it would be better if the program copy it without me needing to confirm it. On the few occassions I receive file names beginning with numbers they are nearly always "1." "2." "...

Re: search files,copy+paste to new folder (batch file softwa

Sorry for my late reply, I've not had the time to sit down and test out your script until now. It worked near perfectly in terms of finding the correct files, I loved the idea of giving search result options to choose from; genius! I tested it with the folder of 2000+ files and a previous text file ...

Re: search files,copy+paste to new folder (batch file softwa

I've tested it in the actual folder I need it for and I've also created the folder "C:\DOC Files" with the example doc files in there and the txt file "docfiles.txt" to see if it would work then but both times all I got was... md "docfiles" File not found: "docfile...

Re: search files,copy+paste to new folder (batch file softwa

Ok I've saved the new PROCESS.BAT file and placed it in the folder with all the .doc files and put a .txt file in there as well but how do I test it? I've tried right clicking on PROCESS.BAT and clicking "Run as administrator" but all that happens is command prompt pops up for half a secon...

Re: search files,copy+paste to new folder (batch file softwa

Hi Aacini, thank you very much for your help and warm welcome. Here is an example of what the list of 2000 file names look like (I created it with a word generator): Transport Factory Dropping.doc Roundabout Desert Judge.doc Reveal Internal Amaze.doc Case Balance Brand Flip.doc Luggage Stay Supporte...
