    Batch file needed !!!

    Locked

    by pop-eye · about 20 years, 6 months ago

    I need a batch file. any guru’s out there?
    What I need is a file that checks a condition, in true – exits, false copys a shortcut (stored on server) to the users desktop.

    So, something like this…

    if xxx.xxx exists (on the desktop) then end
    else xxx.xxx doesnot exist, then copy xxx.xxx from \\server\share to desktop
    end

    Thanks in advance….

      If you have any spaces in the path or filename, be sure to put “quotes” around it.

      Not to be picky, but could be shorter (all on one line)

      if not exist “C:\desktop\filename” copy “\\server\share\filename” “C:\desktop”

      Agree to all above…

      Assuming it’s a Windows (DOS based) system!

      You would probably need something slightly different for Unix/Linux.
