I'm pretty new to this and i've been playing around with it on my machine at home.
I'm curious, if i use a batch file to copy some files and folder and turn on verify is it possbile to make the batch file continue copying if the verify fails? and is it possible to make the batch file create a txt log of everything it copies and what fails ?
any help would be appreciated ^^, thanks in advance!

and here: https://ss64.com/nt/syntax-loops.html
in common:
* get variable (current date and/or time)
* create (or append to) a file with appropriate name
* redirect command output (probably in loop) into this file
exact examples how to get time/date are here: http://ss64.com/nt/syntax-getdate.html
and here: https://ss64.com/nt/syntax-gettime.html
... and for startup reading:
* commands: https://ss64.com/nt/
* syntanx: https://ss64.com/nt/syntax.html

^^ I've read most of whats on here https://ss64.com/nt/index.html but I'll have a look at the others now, thnx!
I was hoping to stay away from like programming code, I'm still getting used to the simple batch commands let alone the otha stuffs

This is a simple example of a method one can use to get a file name using the current date:
Code: Select all
some.exe > "%date:/=%.log"
cmd | *sh | ruby | chef

as i don't know your file operation, what errors you want to log, those script should help you (lines wiht doulbe colon are ignored and for remarks)Sockmaster1942 wrote:

Code: Select all
echo on
::define location of error log files
set ErrorLogFolder=C:\ErrorLogs\
::if ErrorLogFilder don't exist make it
if not exist %ErrorLogFolder% md %ErrorLogFolder%
::catch current path where you start this batch file as variable
set curdir1=%CD%
::catch current system date and time (, change the sequence of c,b,a and d,e according to your system date-time settings to get desirable output)
for /F "tokens=2,3,4 delims=.-/ " %%a in ('date /t') do set CurrDate=%%c%%b%%a
for /F "tokens=1,2 delims=: " %%d in ('time /t') do set CurrTime=%%d%%e
::display date-time variables
@echo system date is %CurrDate%
@echo system time is %CurrTime%
::make an empty file with the name datetimeError.log
set file1=%CurrDate%%CurrTime%Error.log
echo. >NUL 2>"%ErrorLogFolder%%file1%"
::in loop with elements [???] redirect all command [command] errors into previously created file
for %%i in [???] do %curdir1%\[some command] >> %ErrorLogFolder%file1%
