Copy and paste from below the line.

@ECHO OFF
SET DIRCMD=/OGN
A:
MD TEST
CD TEST
COPY C:\MYDOCU~1\*.DOC
DIR /P

 

[vi edit]

Andy, what does the line "SET DIRCMD=/OGN" do?

Thanks!

Thank you very much!

vi_edit: SET DIRCMD=/OGN means to set the DIR command environment to sort order with directories first, then files, in alphabetical order.
