Re: How can I get all folders to show date modified?

Hi Pegasus,
For some reason I can't send you all my data. I tried twice and it won't post here so here is the short version.
It is now 6:18 PM and the third try.

Hi,
I sent this message @ 1:07 PM and haven't seen it posted yet. It's now 5:36 PM so I am sending it again.

I have exhausted all my know how on the three that didn't copy all the files and really don't know what else I can do?

This shouldn't apply this time since all the folders are empty.
If you still believe that a single file failed to get copied
then you should post its full name and location.
These files are posted below with my Test bat file executing them.

Hi Pegasus,
Sorry, I guess I don't know enough about this. Although some files were copied none of the destination folders had the
correct amount of files or the size in them except Agent on the third try. See below.
I posted this bat file:
@echo off
xcopy /s /y /d /h "C:\test" "J:\test"
xcopy /s /y /d /h "C:\Cookies" "J:\test cookies"
xcopy /s /y /d /h "C:\favorites" "J:\test favorites"
xcopy /s /y /d /h "C:\Program Files\Agent\" "J:\test Agent"

After a lot of thinking I did get one right but don't know about the other three folders. I am stumped.

Here are the results:
c: test had 3328 files, 293 folders, 1.09 GB
j: test had 3328, 283 1.09 10 less folders

c: agent 192, 5 480 mb
j: test agent empty

SECOND try with out the extra \
xcopy /s /y /d /h "C:\Program Files\Agent" "J:\test Agent"
j: test agent 194 5 481 mb

c:favorites 160 9 54.5 kb
j test favorites 160 9 648 kb 593.5 kb more

c:cookies 120 0 115 kb
j:test cookies 120 0 556 kb 441 kb more

That makes sense but It can't be that cause all these files should have been updated. The test folders on J: were empty
so they all should have been copied.

If you still believe that a single file failed to get copied
then you should post its full name and location.
According to my J:folder all the folders had some copied files in them except Agent which was empty
but the script said only 120 files were copied.

The second time I ran it the program seem to work except for the agent folder.
There is still files missing that didn't get copied the first or second time.

Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600]
(C) Copyright 1985-2001 Microsoft Corp.

C:\Documents and Settings\HP_Administrator>test
0 File(s) copied
0 File(s) copied
0 File(s) copied
Invalid path
0 File(s) copied

this is the path from Explorer:
C:\Program Files\Agent
this is the path from my batch file:
C:\Program Files\Agent\

So I tried it again with out the extra \ and it worked.the extra files are because I received emails.

Hi,
I can't understand how it can have an invalid path since I just put in the
command to copy and they are there.

There was a program in the old Norton Utilities called File Compare or
something like that. It would highlight the
different items in the two files you were looking at. Is there a way to
get that now or any other that will do the job?

I guess I go to bed now, I can't seem to get any more done.
I would really appreciate your help now.



Have a good day,
RScotti
