that will take the name of a file and copy it onto itself 6 times
this way i dont have to goto the command promt and type copy name.txt + name.txt + name.txt + name.txt + name.txt + name.txt name.tx6

is it possible??

stanrc

do you want six seperate copies of the same file?

I can probably program you something that will do that for you. Just take a selected file and copy it 6 times?

Maybe something like a macro recording program?

I know I could use the macro keys on my Logitech G11 to program that function.

Perhaps there is a windows based macro program that will let you define and run macros to do that?

Just search around on things like "freeware macro recording program", etc.

Here's one I just found: http://www.freedownloadscenter.com/U...utoHotkey.html

i want to take teh same file and copy it onto it self.
one file copied 6 times into a new file. its like opening a text file in windows and doing a ctrl c then hitting ctrl v 5 times. (does that make sence)


btw dont mind my spelling

If such a thing is even possible, and at the DOS level ... your still just inputting text and so I'd say a macro program of some kind is what you need.

..

for instance, I never type in my user name and password at forums ... I just hit the "G2" key on my keyboard and it types itself ...

i cant use anything downloaded like that, i am at work and they would flip a bird if i did that lol, that is why i thought a batch file made in the windows/command/dos enviroment would work the best

pretty much i want to type upit name.txt name.tx6 and it will run the batch file inserting name.txt into the right spots and name.tx6 into the right spot, as seen up above in my op

ok, i dug around the web after work and figured out how to do it...
i make a bat file named test.bat and inside of it i put the following text.

@echo off
if(%3) == () goto end2
if(%3) == (3) goto three
if(%3) == (6) goto six

:three
copy %1 + %1 + %1 %2
goto end
:six
copy %1 + %1 + %1 + %1 + %1 + %1 %2
goto end
:end
echo thank you have a nice day
:end2
echo please enter file to be copied, name to be saved and either 3 or 6 for how many times to copy it, for exameple will.bat will.txt will.tx6 6

and that does exactly what i want it to do, but htank you guys for the quick replies.
