Hi,
Need an urgent help on finding and copying.
I need to copy 2 cookie files from many PCs. Wish to create a batch program.
1) It must be able to search for the cookie file '*@rls*.txt' in both the c:\windows\cookies and the c:\windows\profiles folder.
2) Once it finds the files, it should copy them to the a temp folder.
3) Aftwhich, should delete all the other contents in the both folders.
4) Copy back the '*@rls*.txt' files to their original respective locations.
Pls help. Thanks!
This should work.
1 md c:\windows\temp\cookies
2 md c:\windows\temp\profiles
3 IF EXIST c:\windows\cookies\*@rls*.txt copy c:\windows\cookies\*@rls*.txt c:\windows\temp\cookies
4 IF EXIST c:\windows\profiles\*@rls*.txt copy c:\windows\profiles\*@rls*.txt c:\windows\temp\profiles
5 del c:\windows\cookies\*.txt
6 del c:\windows\profiles\*.txt
7 copy c:\windows\temp\cookies\*.* c:\windows\cookies
8 copy c:\windows\temp\profiles\*.* c:\windows\profiles
9 deltree /y c:\windows\temp\cookies
10 deltree /y c:\windows\temp\profiles
hi markp62 ,
thanks for the info. but i got a bit of a problem here.
the directory c:\windows\profiles\ contains many other folder, for eg.
c:\windows\profiles\david
c:\windows\profiles\john
c:\windows\profiles\peter
c:\windows\profiles\mike
each of these folders might or might not contain the cookie file. and these profiles\sub-folders vary from PC to PC.
Pls help.
Well, you've got a good template to edit. All you need to do is add those in. For example the second line would be duplicated 4 times and edited as follows
md c:\windows\temp\profiles\david <edit name and do the next one
The fourth line the same.
IF EXIST c:\windows\profiles\david\*@rls*.txt copy c:\windows\profiles\david\*@rls*.txt c:\windows\temp\profiles\david
Then do the same for the eighth line.
Leave the last two lines alone. Leave out the line numbers, though.
thanks for the help markp62!
it works!
Cool, and thanks for posting back.
Here's a different approach. It does NOT require knowing what names are listed under "C:\Windows\Profiles" but, it does require Windows 9x/Me and having DEBUG.EXE somwhere in your PATH:Note: If you do NOT want to see the name of every cookie file being deleted, change the third line from:Code:@echo off
cls
echo @echo on>~.bat
echo cls>>~.bat
echo Searching for all cookie files except "*@rls*.txt" in:
echo.
echo C:\Windows\Cookies ...
dir/a/b/s c:\windows\cookies|find/i "\cookies\"|find/v/i "@rls">>~.bat
echo C:\Windows\Profiles\{whomever}\Cookies ...
