Copy file type from sub directories, into a folder renaming

I'd like to copy one filetype from sub directories, placing the copies into one folder, renaming them so they don't overwrite. Here is my code now. It does everything I'd like except it overwrites files with same name:
Code: Select all
set dSource=C:\Users\P Ditty\Documents\SH3\data\cfg\Careers
set dTarget=C:\Users\P Ditty\Documents\SH3\data\cfg\Backups_SCR
set fType=*.clg
for /f "delims=" %%f in ('dir /a-d /b /s "%dSource%\%fType%"') do (
copy /v "%%f" "%dTarget%\" 2>nul
)
Thank you.

Code: Select all
for /f "delims=" %%f in ('dir /a-d /b /s "%dSource%\%fType%"') do if not exist "%dTarget%\%%~nxf" (
copy /v "%%f" "%dTarget%\" 2>nul
)

Are you sure? Or does that just not overwrite?
It's not renaming any copies.

Yes, try this:
Code: Select all
setlocal enabledelayedexpansion
for /f "delims=" %%f in ('dir /a-d /b /s "%dSource%\%fType%"') do (
if exist "%dTarget%\%%~nxf" (
copy /v "%%~f" "%dTarget%\!random!!random!.clg"
) else (
copy /v "%%~f" "%dTarget%\"
)
)

Following will work just set Filepath. I left it empty. Filepath should be you .bat file path (Ex. C:\Users\P Ditty\Documents)
Code: Select all
@Echo OFF
set dSource=C:\Users\P Ditty\Documents\SH3\data\cfg\Careers
Set dTarget=C:\Users\P Ditty\Documents\SH3\data\cfg\Backups_SCR
Set Filepath=
for /f "tokens=* delims=" %%f in ('dir /a-d /b /s "%dSource%\*.txt"') do call :Fun1 "%%~nxf"
Exit /b
:Fun1
set Str1="%~1"
cd %dTarget%
If Exist %Str1% ( Echo file alredy present
) ELSe ( copy %dSource%\%str1% "%dTarget%\")
cd %Filepath%
Exit /b

I can't do the filepath or copy folder tree unless I change this code too:
Code: Select all
>Campaign_SCR.mis.tmp (
for /f "tokens=1* delims=:" %%A in ('findstr /n "^" Campaign_SCR.mis.backup') do (
( echo !ln!| findstr "^Type=12$" >NUL && set ln=ln ) || (
set "ln=%%B"
if "!ln:~0,6!"=="Class=" (
findstr /s /c:"ClassName=!ln:~6!" "C:\Users\P Ditty\Documents\SH3\data\cfg\Backups_SCR\*.clg" >"C:\Users\P Ditty\Documents\SH3\data\cfg\Backups_SCR\null" && (
echo Class=ShipDummy
set "ln=Type=12"
)
)
if #!ln!==# (echo;) else echo !ln!
)
)
)
That only searches in Backups_SCR for .clg not its subdirectories. So unless I change that. It would be best to just give it a random number.

You can also check, if the file with the random number already exists:
Code: Select all
setlocal enabledelayedexpansion
for /f "delims=" %%f in ('dir /a-d /b /s "%dSource%\%fType%"') do (
echo %%f
if exist "%dTarget%\%%~nxf" (
:loop
set "tname=%dTarget%\!random!.clg"
if exist !tname! goto :loop
copy /v "%%~f" "!tname!"
) else (
copy /v "%%~f" "%dTarget%\"
)
)

)
Is that the full search code? Where do I put the source, filetype and destination?
Sorry I'm learning, but I'm learning fast. Thank you.

This will work for you
Code: Select all
@Echo OFF
cd > a.txt
set /p "abc="< a.txt
set dSource=C:\Users\P Ditty\Documents\SH3\data\cfg\Careers
Set dTarget=C:\Users\P Ditty\Documents\SH3\data\cfg\Backups_SCR
for /f "tokens=* delims=" %%f in ('dir /a-d /b /s "%dSource%\*.txt"') do call :Fun1 "%%~nxf"
cd %abc%
del a.txt
Exit /b
:Fun1
set Str1="%~1"
cd %dTarget%
If Exist %Str1% ( Echo file alredy present
) ELSe ( copy %dSource%\%str1% "%dTarget%\")
Exit /b
