Batch file help, who knows em

[unopescio]

Basically Im trying to copy a file from one folder and send it to a different folder with a new name, but I cant figure it out and its driving me crazy.

 

So lets say my batch file is in the root of my main folder, and im trying to copy f*ckface.txt from a folder named ASS to sh*thead.txt in a folder named BUTT, I would use this code

copy "ASS/f*ckface.txt" "BUTT/sh*thead.txt"

but it doesnt work, whhhhyyyyy????

Why a bat file?

 

Does the destination directory exist? If not you will need to create it or include a mkdir in your bat file.

 

 

copy c:/ass/f*ckface.txt c:/butt/sh*thead.txt

Using absolute paths may make things easier.

I dont know why a bat it just seemed the easiest thing to do. Is there anyway to do it without using absolute paths though? Like if I share the thing with other people theyll put it in a random folder and it wont work?

 

EDIT: and yeah the destination folder exsists

 

EDIT2: Never mind I put the slashes the wrong way. I am a f*ckwit.
