Why do you need batch files?

Why not just substitute human speak for computer speak and do it from the CL?

...or is this just a sneaky way of completing a school assignment...?🫣

Why do you need batch files?

For specific repeatably tasks that will be needed at specific moments of the week.

It's not sneaky, nor school assignment. It's a simple request for help with batch files. That's all.

Just kidding around... no offence intended.

I had a great help in other forum. I almost solved 99% of my needs. I share with you here, in case is useful to someone:

This batch will format F: (more efficient and fast than command delete). Then it will copy everything inside E: (except Folder One and Folder Two) to F:
@echo off
Format F: /FS:NTFS /V:NAME /Q /X /y
robocopy.exe E:\ F:\ *.* /mir /XD "Folder One" "Folder Two" /copyAT /dcopyA /r:0 /v /xj /mt:32

And this batch will copy everything inside I: (except Folder One and Folder Two) and then it will copy to J:
This batch is amazing because only pastes (at J new or changed files.
@%SystemRoot%\System32\robocopy.exe I:\ J:\ /E /MIR /MT:32 /NDL /NFL /NJH /NJS /R:0 /XJ /XD "I:\Folder One" "I:\Folder Two"

Another different version:
@echo off
md J:\empty
robocopy /mir J:\empty J:\ /xd "Folder One" "Folder Two"
robocopy.exe I:\ J:\ *.* /mir /XD "Folder One" "Folder Two" /copyAT /dcopyA /r:0 /v /xj /mt:32

All batches are tested and working like a charm.
Hope it'll help.

Was ChatGPT unable to compile these, or you just don’t like it? Also, are you looking to format flash drives or something?

I do like ChatGPT, and it has helped me a lot in several different subjects.
But, when I try ChatGPT for computer programming, or for CMD commands and similar... ChatGPT is full of wrong stuff. Honestly, that's my personal opinion, and I lost patience with ChatGPT on specific subjects. I'll say is a great tool, but for me it's not the answer for everything... at least, not yet

Also, are you looking to format flash drives or something?

Backup software (even Windows one in Control Panel) are not customizable enough for my needs.
So I built specific batches for specific partitions in order to keep some backups, images and clone partitions.
