Script to copy files from one folder to another

AngeB

Hi, I'm looking for a script to copy transaction log backup files from a network drive I have mapped to a local folder. Part of the filenames are common

dbname_tlog_datehour.trn (date is formated y/m/d and is 24 hour format ex: 1600, 1700, 1800....)

I've searched some perl forums and found a few scripts to try but haven't had any luck getting this working. Any help is appreciated.

We don't have any scripts. Do you know perl? Have to tried to write the code yourself? Are you having problems with your code?

Thanks for the reply Kevin. I know very little perl. I forgot to post the code that I was trying to get working. I managed to figure to figure it out. I'll make sure to post the code and error next time.

 use File::Copy;
 
$dir="\\\\Server\\logs\\"; # make sure you add the backslashes on the last directory

opendir(DIR, $dir) or die "can't opendir $dir: $! \n";
 
@files=readdir(DIR);

closedir DIR;
 
foreach $file (@files) {

  if (-f "$dir$file") {  
 
$moveloc="C:\\backup\\logs\\$file"; # Make sure the directory is already made.

$old = "$dir$file";

$new = "$moveloc";

copy($old, $new) or die "Copy Faild: $!";
