MS-Dos script to run command

[kouliscon]

Hello all

I need help by someone if possible for the following:

I need to run a command of copy at a .bat file only if the user which logged in that computer is the same name as the computername.

So something like that:

If %username% = %computername% then goto 1 if not 2

1
robocopy c:\docs d:\docs *.*

end

2
end

Can anybody help?

Thanks

That's doable:

Code: Select all

@echo off

for /f "tokens=1 delims= " %%! in (
   "%date%"
) do set "$File=%username%_%%~!.LOG"

echo.$File=%$File%_

You are now ready to over/write this log :)

Hello

Thx for the fast reply.

I need this new log per day to be created when I run the robocopy command.

In other words

Robocopy c:\data d:\files /log:d:\data\log\%username%_%%~.log

You think you can modify it?

Thx for the link.

   Robocopy "c:\data" "d:\files" /log:"d:\data\log\%$LOG.File%"
)

I never use robocopy so I'm unsure /log: will accept quoted params, it should though...
I advice using quotes by default otherwise you'll get into problems when the path contains spaces.

Hello

Sorry for the late responce but i was away.

Out of the 4 scripts which you wrote below the first 2 are working ok.

the last one which i am interested for the log i can tell you the following:

1) it doesnt copy the copy from location 1 to location 2.
2) it does creat a log file at location /log:"d:\data\log\%$LOG.File%" but the name of the file is %$LOG.File% maybe that can point you where the mistake is.

Thx in advance
