automated loading routines in win 2k

[chrisd33]

hi


i wish to do the following. i'm running win2k on an nt server

i have a file that I have to copy to 7 different directories on a regular basis. The file which i have to copy changes each time i'm supplied with a new one. I therefore wish to set upan automated routine that will take the file which i'm supplied with and import it into each of the 7 direcories, can anyone suggest how i'd do this ?

cheers

Chris,

The way i would do it is create a batch file i.e.
In Notepad write the line (Add/Amend as needed)

To copy files
~~~~~~~~~~
copy D:\temp\email1.txt /D C:\Winnt
copy D:\temp\email1.txt /D C:\
~~~~~~~~~~
The 2 lines above copies the email1 text file from the D:\temp\ drive into the C:\Winnt and C:\ folders

To copy directories
~~~~~~~~~~
copy D:\temp\ /D C:\
~~~~~~~~~~

and save with a .bat extension (and double click to run)
