Create a batch file to copy and rename file

I need to write a batch file that copies a file to a new folder and renam开发者_Go百科es it.

At the moment, my batch file consists of only this command:

COPY ABC.PDF \\Documents

As you can see, it only copies the file ABC.pdf to the network folder Documents.

However I need to change this so it renames the file ABCxxx.pdf, where xxx is a text variable that I would like to set somewhere in the batch file.

For example, if xxx = _Draft, then file would be renamed ABC_Draft.pdf after it is copied.

Make a bat file with the following in it:

copy /y C:\temp\log1k.txt C:\temp\log1k_copied.txt

However, I think there are issues if there are spaces in your directory names. Notice this was copied to the same directory, but that doesn't matter. If you want to see how it runs, make another bat file that calls the first and outputs to a log:

C:\temp\test.bat > C:\temp\test.log

(assuming the first bat file was called test.bat and was located in that directory)

type C:\temp\test.bat>C:\temp\test.log
