That's the reason the syntax is wrong. You'll need to fix that.

I try the syntax below
@ echo off
Move /y ''C:\Program%20Files\2BrightSparks\SyncBack\*.html'' C:\delete
del /Q c:\delete\*.*
pause
and i get the error
The system cannot find the path specified.
Could Not Find c:\delete\*.*
Press any key to continue . . .
PS: C:\delete\*.* is not giving any problem, its the move which is giving us problem
Not C:\Program%20Files
by swisse - 10/2/06 4:55 AM In reply to: but.... by CharlorneYour code should look like this:
@ echo off
Move /y ''C:\Program Files\2BrightSparks\SyncBack\*.html'' C:\delete
del /Q c:\delete\*.*
NOT:
@ echo off
Move /y ''C:\Program%20Files\2BrightSparks\SyncBack\*.html'' C:\delete
del /Q c:\delete\*.*
Because you don't have a directory with the name C:\Program%20Files - unless you really have one.

try this solution
by saido.org - 10/1/06 6:02 AM In reply to: Batch file help (i already search google) by Charlorneat the command line,
del "C:\Program Files\2BrightSparks\SyncBack\*.html"
Wrong del syntax
by swisse - 10/1/06 8:31 AM In reply to: Batch file help (i already search google) by CharlorneWrite it this way:
@ echo off
Move /y C:\Program Files\2BrightSparks\SyncBack\*.html C:\delete
del /Q c:\delete

Correction
by swisse - 10/1/06 8:59 AM In reply to: Wrong del syntax by swisseSorry, the original del code was correct. I agree with Bob. There should be quotation marks around C:\Program Files\2BrightSparks\SyncBack\*.html. So the code should read:
@ echo off
Move /y "C:\Program Files\2BrightSparks\SyncBack\*.html" C:\delete
del /Q c:\delete\*.*
