[CLOSED] Simple script required - payment in btc

[bitcoinTrader]

Hi,

I require simple windows batch script to do the following:

If the file is older than 2 minutes in a particular folder, copy the file to another location.

Should be easy job.

Please post here or PM.

Thanks!

Not particulrly good with batch files, but if your running on Vista or 7, this powershell script should do it.

$files=get-childitem .
$date = get-date
$date = $date.AddMinutes(-2)
foreach ($file in $files) {
   if ($date -lt $file.LastWriteTime) {
      copy $file dir\
   }
}

Sorry, require simple batch script, not powershell.

I want to run the script on Windows Server 2003.

Bump

Any1?

Google is your friend. This should work with minor modifications:

Already tried that, doesnt work.

Any particular reason you want it to be a batch script rather than a simple exe file?
(If you would be happy with an exe I can make you one in about 2 or 3 mins)

[bitcoinTrader]

I want to run from Control M software.
I have never executed exe, only bat and sh files

Is there much difference between exe and bat files?

[BinoX]

If you can run bat files you should be able to run exe files.

If you can't do it directly then you could always put the exe file on the machine and then run it from a bat

[bitcoinTrader]

I assume if exe can be made, batch can also be made with same commands, right?

[BinoX]

An exe file is different. It's a complied program rather than a script.

There probably IS a way to do it with a .bat file, but I don't think it will be as simple as it seems

[bitcoinTrader]

Can you do it in batch?
How much will you charge for that?

To be honest, I'm not 100% sure that I would be able to do it as a batch file, it's been a long time since I've done any proper batch file creation (since I usually just write programs to do things these days)

If I find a solution, I will let you know

[bitcoinTrader]

BTW, in which language can you make exe?
Also, source will be available?

[eroxors]

Not sure if this will work for you, but it copies all files every 2 minutes (120 seconds) 720 times (1 day), regardless of age. You can then set the batch to run with windows task manager once a day.

@echo off
 for /L %%a in (1,1,720) do (
 xcopy /d /y /c c:\folder1\*.* c:\folder2\
 ping localhost -n 120 > nul
 )

For little utilities like this I use a language called purebasic (see www.purebasic.com for details) It's a great language to use for any small tools that you want written quickly.

And yes, source code would be available

This is kind of scheduler, but I already have scheduled job running via control m.
I want 2 min old files to be copied.

Write the program in any language you want and compile it if needed.
Then just call it from within a batch script by using "START".
Or maybe I don't see your problem here...

[gutschilla]

My solution would be a small c++ program that outputs every file in a given directoy that's older than 2 minutes. You would have to place this program somewhere in your $PATH. Then you would be able to create a batch file that simply copies each file somewhere. Do you have access to your machine in a way to install programs (I mean, just putting an .exe in your windows folder)?

If you can install software, you cal always use the above script i posted, just install powershell (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/968929 ) and make a batch file with "powershell -File aboveScript.ps1"
