Can I make copies of a source file and copy it to multiple locations. I want to put robots.txt into multiple httpdocs folders that dont already have one there
The following tutorial will demonstrate using the command line feature of FileMonkey to make a copy of a single source file in every sub folder of a root folder.
For example, you could use this feature to make a copy of c:\robots.txt in every sub folder of your target folder.
1. |
Use the folder tree on the left of the main window to navigate to the root folder that you wish to work on. As you are working on sub folders, tick the "Include Sub Folders" tick box. Tick the "Include Hidden Folders" box if you also want to include hidden folders. This operation will copy a source file to the root folder that you have navigated to and all sub folders of that folder. |
2. |
Once you have targeted your folder, select the "Quick-Find, Command Line" menu item from the main window. |
3. | The Create/Run batch file window should now be open |
|
6. |
Next, you need to enter the path of the source file that you wish to use. In the "Head" section, find the following line: set SrcFile="C:\robots.txt" |
7. |
We have entered the file "C:\robots.txt" as the default source file. You may want to change this to something else if your source file is on a different path or has a different name. Delete the text "C:\robots.txt" and enter the file and path that you wish to use here. You MUST keep the encompassing quote marks otherwise this operation may not work. For example: If you wish to use the file C:\New Folder\List.txt then replace the line: set SrcFile="C:\robots.txt" with the line: set SrcFile="C:\New Folder\List.txt" |
8. | To start the operation, select the "File/Compile And Run" menu item. |
