DOS Batch file to move 2000 files every 10 minutes

Question

Is it possible to create a DOS script that will move 2000 files to another folder every 10 minutes?

For example:

C:\MyFolder\

Every 10 minutes move 2000 files to C:\MyNewFolder\

Thank you!

I would use something like xcopy as recommended, however I would use the date flag to specify only copying new files. Just omit the date and it will copy only newer files.


  /C           Continues copying even if errors occur.

  /D:m-d-y     Copies files changed on or after the specified date.
               If no date is given, copies only those files whose
               source time is newer than the destination time.

  /E           Copies directories and subdirectories, including empty ones.

xcopy C:\Source Z:\Destination /C /D /E

Read the question again. He doesnt want to copy files; rather he wants to do some operation every 10 minutes or so. — UltraInstinct, Jan 23 '11 at 17:31
