Batch - Copy file into a newly created directory
-1
I've written the following batch:
@echo off
set /p dname= Define Project Name
mkdir "%dname%1 Project Folder"
mkdir "%dname%2 Folder Two"
mkdir "%dname%3 Folder Three"
mkdir "%dname%4 Folder Four"
mkdir "%dname%5 Folder Five"
mkdir "%dname%6 Folder Six"
I've tried to write a code where a Adobe Premiere Project File (.prproj) is renamed (%dname%) and moved into the recently created directory: 1 Project Folder".
I'm trying to avoid fixed directory paths since I'm going to share it with other users
The untitled.prproj files gets renamed (%dname%) and moved into 01 Project Folder:
windows batch-file cmd copy

this is a little unclear, how do you want to dynamically determine what the project folder name will be in order to not accidently copy into any other folder? Also, you seem to want to rename the prject file to the value of%dname%, does that mean you want to both create a folder, create the relevant subfolders and then move the file from the root of where you created%dname%directory?

@GerhardBarnard "does that mean you want to both create a folder, create the relevant subfolders and then move the file from the root of where you created %dname% directory?" Yes almost. It has to copy (not move) the project file and then rename to whatever the %dname% is set to. It's just an empty project file ready to be double clicked on and start the video editing work.

and there will only be 1 .prproj file in the root ditectory where the batch is? and will the main project folder exist already, or do we mkdir them?

If I get your question 100% correctly:
@echo off
set myfolders="01 Project Folder","02 Folder Two","03 Folder Three","04 Folder Four","05 Folder Five","06 Folder Six"
set /p "dname=Define Project Name "
mkdir "%dname%" >nul
for %%i in (%myfolders%) do mkdir "%dname%%%~i" >nul
copy *.prproj "%dname%1 Project Folder%dname%.prproj"
We create the directory %dname% if not existing. Then create each subfolder, then simply copy the file to the project directory with the new name.
