Code: Select all

cd \

... changes the working directory to the root folder of the current drive.
%cd%\%username% does probably not exist. Try %userprofile% instead.

Thank you, I will give that a try.

No, sorry that did not work. Any other ideas?
Thanks,

Any other ideas?
Thanks,

Your description of the error doesn't show us where it is happening and you can help to resolve it for yourself with a simple debugging step.
1) Place a pause command after the first line that copies files and then run your batch script

If there is no error message and the files copy fine, then put another pause command lower down after another line that copies files. Repeat this until you can isolate where the error first occurs. The lines above the pause command is where a problem is.

If you can let the forum know which line is causing an error then people can give you more targeted advice.

Another debugging step you can help with:
2) When you isolate the line that causes errors then place a echo at the very beginning of that line and rerun your batch script. It will show you exactly what is being run in that line when the pause stops the script: then you can carefully read the paths and commands to help show you where the problem is.

Run...

Code: Select all

@echo off &setlocal
cd \
echo "%cd%\%username%"
if exist "%cd%\%username%\" (echo exists.) else echo does not exist.
pause
