Hi,

Can you please help to capture copy time in seperate text file when I start copy folder from one location to another location using Batch file.

Thanks,

Put "echo Copy started at %date%%time% >>file.txt" before copy command

Thanks,

Can you please send me the script for this. I am new for batch file creation. It would be helpful.

I am expecting that how many "hh:mm:ss" it would take copying the folder from one location to another location. I need the folder copy duration in a seperate file.

Is it possible or not? Can you please anyone help me on this.

It's possible. With plain batch it is tedious.

It would be better to use a program like timethis.exe that times a task:

---------------------------------------------------------------
TIMETHIS : Command Timing Utility : by kevina@microsoft.com
---------------------------------------------------------------

Usage : TIMETHIS "command"

TimeThis executes the command specified by its arguments, then reports its
run time in HH:MM:SS.TTT format. Quotes around the command are required only
when the command involves redirection via <, >, >>, or |, etc. Quotes ensure
that the redirection is applied to the command being timed, rather than the
TimeThis command itself.

Examples :

TimeThis DIR C:\WINNT
TimeThis "DIR C:\WINNT | MORE"
