Greg,
Use xcopy with the /Q switch to turnoff display of the listing of files. =
You can control what the user see with something like:
ECHO OFF
CLS
ECHO "Please wait while the files are copied and the disk is erased..."
xcopy a:\*.* j:\destination /q/s/c/h=20
format a: /v: /q
ECHO "Copy complete..."
PAUSE
Heres the details on xcopy=20
xcopy /?
Copies files and directory trees.
XCOPY source [destination] [/A | /M] [/D[:date]] [/P] [/S [/E]] [/V] =
[/W]
[/C] [/I] [/Q] [/F] [/L] [/H] [/R] [/T] [/U]
[/K] [/N] [/O] [/X] [/Y] [/-Y] [/Z]
[/EXCLUDE:file1[+file2][+file3]...]
source Specifies the file(s) to copy.
destination Specifies the location and/or name of new files.
/A Copies only files with the archive attribute set,
doesn't change the attribute.
/M Copies only files with the archive attribute set,
turns off the archive attribute.
/D:m-d-y Copies files changed on or after the specified date.
If no date is given, copies only those files whose
source time is newer than the destination time.
/EXCLUDE:file1[+file2][+file3]...
Specifies a list of files containing strings. When any =
of the
strings match any part of the absolute path of the file =
to be
copied, that file will be excluded from being copied. =
For
example, specifying a string like \obj\ or .obj will =
exclude
all files underneath the directory obj or all files with =
the
.obj extension respectively.
/P Prompts you before creating each destination file.
/S Copies directories and subdirectories except empty ones.
/E Copies directories and subdirectories, including empty =
ones.
Same as /S /E. May be used to modify /T.
/V Verifies each new file.
/W Prompts you to press a key before copying.
/C Continues copying even if errors occur.
/I If destination does not exist and copying more than one =
file,
assumes that destination must be a directory.
/Q Does not display file names while copying.
/F Displays full source and destination file names while =
copying.
/L Displays files that would be copied.
/H Copies hidden and system files also.
/R Overwrites read-only files.
/T Creates directory structure, but does not copy files. =
Does not
include empty directories or subdirectories. /T /E =
includes
empty directories and subdirectories.
/U Copies only files that already exist in destination.
/K Copies attributes. Normal Xcopy will reset read-only =
attributes.
/N Copies using the generated short names.
/O Copies file ownership and ACL information.
/X Copies file audit settings (implies /O).
/Y Suppresses prompting to confirm you want to overwrite an
existing destination file.
/-Y Causes prompting to confirm you want to overwrite an
existing destination file.
/Z Copies networked files in restartable mode.
The switch /Y may be preset in the COPYCMD environment variable.
This may be overridden with /-Y on the command line.

Subject: [windows2000] Batch File
This may be easy for some of you. I suck at batch files and am getting =
=3D
stuck.
I need a batch file that will copy all the files on a floppy disk to a =
=3D
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 =
=3D
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 =3D
desktop.
The way it is happening now, they see all the file names go by one by =
=3D
one (which is not that big a deal), then they get prompted to insert a =
=3D
disk, then they get asked to format another. Then it ends. I would like =
=3D
to be able to skip all that.
I know it seems silly but my users are older and extremely intimidated =
=3D
by technology. I have to break everything down to extremely basic =3D
levels.
Thanks!
Greg
