Hello,
I am looking for a script to save a pdf file to a path with a special name.
The trick is i only want to have to fill in a small part of the path and a part of the file name, and the file name also has to containe the date.
For example the path/name is:
C:\projects\13-2332\calculations\R2R 13-2332 20180519 Main calculation.pdf
The 2 varaiabels are 13-2332 and Main calculation
And 2080519 is the date
Is that possible ?

This should do what you want. Just save it as a .bat and change the two things in ( ) after ‘cd’ and ‘ren’.
Only problem with the user input parts is you can’t use spaces.
REM Finds the date
for /f "tokens=1-4 delims=/ " %%a in ("%date%") do (
set month=%%b
set day=%%c
set year=%%d
)
set date=%year%%month%%day%
REM This is where the replacement for 13-2332 would be typed
set /p var="Type folder name: "
REM This is where the replacement for Main calculation would be typed, NO SPACES.
set /p var2="Enter last part of file name: "
REM Renames PDF and moves to folder (creates if it doesn't exist).
cd (Location where pdf is saved)
ren "(name of pdf when saved).pdf" "R2R %var% %date% %var2%.pdf"
xcopy "R2R %var% %date% %var2%.pdf" "c:\projects\%var%\calculations\R2R %var% %date% %var2%.pdf*"
del "R2R %var% %date% %var2%.pdf"
