ForFiles.exe question [ Batch ]

[0318]

hi ppl
i have to use forfiles, to copy files older then 7 days to another folder.
here is what i use

forfiles -pc:\temp -s -d-7 -c"cmd /c copy ""@FILE"" /Q /F c:\temp3":

in the directory c:\temp files older then 7 days copy to c:\temp3

doesnt work, it allways says: cant copy the file onto itself :S
someone.?

0318,

I do not use forfiles. But if you insist, try this.

forfiles -pc:\temp -s -m*.* -d-7 -c"cmd /c copy @FILE /Q /F c:\temp3"

c:\temp and c:\temp3 must be _existing_ folders.
