Morning all

Im hoping you can help me. We have a nice new oracle server and are needing to move some files around for EDI and BACS. The server runs windows but has an app called MKS toolkit installed which give unix commands. (Needed for the oracle stuff) I have had a go using dos commands in a batch file and also using things like touch but am not getting anywhere.
What im wanting it to copy files from the out folder into an edi folder and then move the files from the original out to an archive. Im wanting to log what is copied and moved. They want it to run every 10mins so I would like to create one log file per day and have the time in the file before the files are copied so we can look back and see what happend at what time.
My current attempt:
copy /V E:\oracle\uatcomn\admin\out\UAT_wendy\p??????.mf e:\edi\edi_out >> e:\edi\copy.log this works but just adds and adds.

This is probably very simple but its beating me

Thanks

Dont know about DOS... why arent you using your MKS toolkit shell to do the job then?

This will show you the idea:
All you have to do is redirect that line (>>) in you log, then do the copy/moves etc...

Thanks for the hint, Im not good at scripts, still learning. How would I make a file with that days date and within that file prefix each set of data with the time?
