Hi all,
this would be my solution for the batch file:
______________________________________________
@ECHO OFF
SETLOCAL
PROMPT $S
MODE CON LINES=3 COLs=55
CLS
ECHO Please wait while the files are copied,
ECHO and the disk is erased......
TITLE Please wait...
xcopy /y A:\*.* C:\test 1>NUL 2>&1
@ECHO N | FORMAT A: /V: /Q 1>NUL 2>&1
ENDLOCAL
EXIT
_______________________________________________
Most of it is 'cosmetic':
ECHO OFF >> No echoing of commands
SETLOCAL >> All settings done only apply to this windows
PROMPT $S >> No 'C:>' Prompt
MODE CON >> Reduces the window size
TITLE >> Sets Window title
XCOPY /Y >> No files are shown
1>NUL 2>&1 >> Suppresses all messages, even error-messages
@ECHO N | >> Parses No to the question 'Format another disk'
ENDLOCAL >> ends the SETLOCAL command
Kind Regards,

|This may be easy for some of you. I suck at batch files and am getting =
|stuck.
|
|I need a batch file that will copy all the files on a floppy disk to a =
|network drive location, then reformat that disk.
|
|What I have so far is:
|
|copy a:\*.* j:\destination
|
|format a: /v: /q
|
|
|That works fine but I would like to streamline it so all the users see =
|is something like
|
|"Please wait while the files are copied and the disk is erased..."
|
|then when it is done the window goes away and they are back at the =
|desktop.
|
|
|The way it is happening now, they see all the file names go by one by =
|one (which is not that big a deal), then they get prompted to insert a =
|disk, then they get asked to format another. Then it ends. I would like =
|to be able to skip all that.
|
|I know it seems silly but my users are older and extremely intimidated =
|by technology. I have to break everything down to extremely basic =
|levels.
|
|
|Thanks!
|
|Greg
