I know this forum is for BASIC and not DOS. Nevertheless, I hope you guys
do
not mind my asking for suggestions from fellow old timers. I tried the DOS
group first without any response and it wouldn't surprise me if no
suggestions arise here either.
Batch file like this has always worked before -
REM /s=subdirs /d=date newer /f=full filenames /k=copy attributes
REM /y=supress prompting /h copy sys + hidden /r overwrite readonly
echo beginning xcopy
xcopy Q:\*.* T:\*.* /s /d /f /k /y /h /r
I have just created a similar file which doesn't work as I expected.
It copies the files unconditionally. Run it once. Run it again immediately
and it copies all the files again.
It appears to be ignoring the /d (newer) switch.
Ideas anyone?
(BTW re the drives - one is a SUBST, other a NET USE)
TIA
