Script to create folder with time stamp and then move into folder

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

Hello,
I am trying to script something to creat a folder with the time and date inthe name and then copy files into it. I have a set of files i want copies of every hour. Due to the way the app was created the files do not appear to change since they take a certain size to satrt and then data is appended to them so the size does nto change. Backup sees that they didnt change so doesnt back them up again.

Any help would be apreciated. I have found an applicaiton to create the folder with the time and date, but i cant figure out how to copy into that folder dynamically. I need to bring the name of the folder created by the app into a copy command. I can redirect the output of the create into a txt file but how do I read from that to copy into the folder.
Thanks
Jim
