I need your help. I am looking for a batch file to do a specific operation with a check. Let me explain the situation :

I have 2 folders (C:\Folder1 and C:\Folder2)
I wonder if it might be possible to have a batch file that for each *.TXT file that is placed into Folder1 places a copy of that file to Folder 2 (after comparing the 2 folders and making sure that this file is not present in Folder2).

Is it possible to also have a counter as when another TXT file is put in to Folder1 it should only copy that File to Folder2 (not all the previous txt files already added into A).

    The easiest way would be to use robocopy. It already will only copy changed files and has a lot of options to control what it will copy. It is built in in Vista+ and can be downloaded for Windows XP/Server 2003 in the Server 2003 Resource Kit.
