Use a Batch File

A file with a .bat file extension is called a batch file. You can use a batch file to execute a group of commands, sometimes called a script, from a command prompt. Do the following to learn to use a batch file:

1. Using a command prompt window, copy the files in your Documents folder (My Documents in Windows 7) to a folder named \Save on a USB flash drive. Don’t include subfolders in the copy.

2. Using Notepad, create a batch file named MyBatch.bat on the USB flash drive that contains the commands to do the following:

a. Create the C:\Data folder and a subfolder named C:\Data\Documents.

b. Copy all the files in your \Save folder to the C:\Data\Documents folder.

c. List the contents of the C:\Data\Documents folder.

3. Using a command prompt window, execute the MyBatch.bat file and fix any problems you see. What happens when you execute the batch file and the C:\Data\Documents folder already exists?

Answer 1

1. XCOPY C:\Users\Mayank\Documents E:\Save /i

2. a. mkdir C:\Data\Documents

2. b, XCOPY E:\Save C:\Data\Documents /i

2. c, dir C:\Data\Documents

3 The batch file will replace the already created folder
