I have little to no experience in writing batch files.
I need to write one that copies a file to a new folder and renames 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.
Thanks
