How do I copy a file multiple times and rename it different every time

P0pcan — Thu, 12 Jan 2012 15:13:23 +0000

So I am not very good with scripting and was wondering if someone could help me. What I want to do is copy a single file multiple times and have it renamed almost the same with one letter different each time. Example, I have file ReportA.r and I want to copy it multiple times and rename it like this: ReportB.r, ReportC.r, ReportD.r etc.
Can someone help with a batch file or powershell or whatever that I could run that could possibly make this work??

Thanks in advanced
Brandon

How to remove specific lines from a text files using either vbs or bat.

swinehart6803 — Fri, 29 Oct 2010 17:07:31 +0000

We have a text file that is a result of an export from an application we have.
We use the following bat file to rename and remove blank lines from it based on the way it exports the export options/format cannot be changed. I would like a way to add to this bat file a method to remove specific lines for the renamed, blank space removed text file.

Example of the needs:

text file is 30 lines long and we would want to remove line 3,7,18,19 and 28. Not the actual lines or length we would want to remove, just an idea of what we would like accomplish.

These lines are informational and cannot be removed from the export option and are not needed for the SQL import.
When this runs we would use a bat file in dump this cleaned up file into a SQL table.

BAT file begins====================================

@echo off
pushd C:WE_Reportuser
for /D %%j in (*) do move “%%j” “%%~dpjapps”
popd

move C:WE_Reportuserapps* C:WE_Reportapp_csv

:: removes blank lines from file for import into SQL

For /F “tokens=* delims=” %%A in (C:WE_Reportapp_csvuser_app.txt) Do Echo %%A >> C:WE_Reportapp_csvtestuser_app.txt

============NEED specific line removal code here==========

Does anyone know of any useful Active Directory reporting tools that could: pull a list of users and there password age, pull a list of users and the OU they are in, or any variation there of to view AD maintanence? This could be a simple batch file or VB script that might output to a text file. Nothing fancy really.

The Email Parser call Process Them

jutpro — Thu, 07 May 2009 19:06:36 +0000

Is there anyone who has used or is using an Email Parser call Process Them? We are considering downloading the free trial.

Can this email parser be setup to run on a schedule, like every 1 minute or every one hour, etc, or does this require human intervention?

Thanks.
