I made a HUGE mistake by executing a .bat file, and it changed some files in my folder, especifically from Microsoft Visual Fox pro 5.0, which uses some .dbf, .cdx, .dll, etc., so yeah, is kind of important

copy %1*.exe %2*.exe
copy %1pueblos.* %2pueblos.*
copy %1usuario.dbf %2usuario.dbf
copy %1usuario.cdx %2usuario.cdx
copy %1grupos.dbf %2grupos.dbf
copy %1grupos.cdx %2grupos.cdx
copy %1configuracion.dbf %2configuracion.dbf
copy %1*.dbc %2*.dbc
copy %1*.dct %2*.dct
copy %1*.dll %2*.dll
copy %1*.adx %2*.adx
copy %1*.cdt %2*.cdt

is there a way that I can undo these changes?

thank you in advance

    You replace the damaged files with the ones you backed up before breaking them. You did that, right? Right? –  Mar 05 '19 at 21:23

So, if I understood the case..,

Why not simple invert the command line argument passed to the bat file again, but change this time:

%1 to %2, and the %2 to %1 by:

copy %2*.exe %1*.exe
copy %2pueblos.* %1pueblos.*
copy %2usuario.dbf %1usuario.dbf
copy %2usuario.cdx %1usuario.cdx
copy %2grupos.dbf %1grupos.dbf
copy %2grupos.cdx %1grupos.cdx
copy %2configuracion.dbf %1configuracion.dbf
copy %2*.dbc %1*.dbc
copy %2*.dct %1*.dct
copy %2*.dll %1*.dll
copy %2*.adx %1*.adx
copy %2*.cdt %1*.cdt

obs.: So sorry my limited English!
