Question : Need a batch file to copy files in a folder and append the date and time

Need a batch file that will copy files in a folder (c:\folder1) to another folder (c:\folder2) and append the date and time to the filename.  So if the source files were c:\folder1\file1.txt and c:\folder1\file2.txt it would copy them to c:\folder2\file1datetime.txt c:\folder2\file2datetime.txt

Thanks

Sorry about that.

I've fixed it up now.  Hopefully the code is understandable.

Mine will do recurse subdirectories and keeps the folder structure to the destination.
