I have a question regarding windows command prompt. I tried to create a cmd file containing simple commands for the use of creating a folder named after the current date , have it create some files and finaly move the folder to a diffrent location. For some reasons the last part is not working right. Here is my code
cd Desktop
mkdir "%DATE%"
cd "%DATE%"
echo new > index.html
echo new > main.js
echo new > style.css
//move "%DATE%" MeineProjekte <—- thats the problem. Hope someone could help me on this.
And if you have any better ways of displaying this code I would appreciate this aswell
I tried to google for a solution and had not mutch luck.
>Solution :
After using CD command you changed the directory. If your MeineProjekte folder located not inside the %DATE% folder, you can not move %DATE% there. I assume that you should use cd .. after echo commands. Something like that:
cd Desktop
mkdir "%DATE%"
cd "%DATE%"
echo new > index.html
echo new > main.js
echo new > style.css
cd ..
move "%DATE%" MeineProjekte
It will works only if MeineProjekte is in the scope. In opposite case you should specify absolute path to this folder (e.g. C:\MeineProjekte if it is on your C disk).
