Question

I have a directory (source) with a bunch of files and these two dlls

file1.dll

file2.dll

I want to copy these to destination but on the copy have them renamed

file1_a.dll

file2_a.dll

Basically append _a to every dll copied

I need a very basic way to generate this script with a batch file
Can’t use perl because it’s not built in to windows.

Is vbs my best option?

I tried good old

copy *.dll *64.dll 

but that was a no go.

Answer 1

Use the for command:

for %f in (t*.dll) do copy SourceDir\%f  DestDir\%~nf_a.dll

Remember to use a double % (%%) if used in a batch file.
