Copy 1 file multiple times taking name from csv or similar?

[DCUK6]

Hi,

 

Been asked to create a copy of one file for every student renaming the file to their name.

 

Gotta do this for multiple files and dont like the though of spending hours copying and pasting names and then do it again next year.

 

Has anyone got a CMD script using robocopy or similar?

 

 

If not, think im gonna need a FOR, Robocopy and an awake mind to work it out.

 

Thanks.

Something like this should do it.

@echo off for /f "tokens=1,2 delims=," %%j in (project.csv) do ( copy "%%j.jpg" c:\mytestproject\newimages rename "c:\mytestproject\newimages\%%j.jpg" %%k.jpg )

Get the students to copy it from the shared area to their home drive and then rename it themselves.
