Batch to copy files to another folder with breaks

I need开发者_如何转开发 a script, prefferably a windows batch or C# to do as following:

Show a prompt that first ask for the source folder, then it should ask for the destination folder. At last, it shall ask how many files it should copy to the destination, from the source.

// We talk about aprox 100.000 files and they can be moved in random order.

After the process has been run, the program shall make a break of 10 minutes, then loop the process it was told to earlier, by previous answers to the prompt.

---

I've tried a little, but haven't found a solution. As far as i can see, XCOPY is unable to work around all these criterias.

Thanks in advance, Mark

1. RoboCopy (the See also section might interest you as well) or
2. (more recent:) RichCopy (download)

You can use something like this:

string source  = Console.ReadLine();
string destination = Console.ReadLine();
int numberOfFilesToCopy = int.Parse(Console.ReadLine());

DirectoryInfo di = new DirectoryInfo(source);
var files = di.GetFiles();
for(i=0;i < math.Max(files.Length, numberOfFilesToCopy);i++)
{
    files[i].CopyTo(destination);
}

In C# using System.IO.File.Copy(sourceFileName,destFileName) followed by a System.IO.File.Delete(path) will do the "move" for you. You can create a simple console app that takes in the information you need and then does the work.

Have a look at the docs for System.IO.File for more info on File operations.

I'm not sure this fulfills all your requirements, but it may be useful to have a look at robocopy (robocopy /? in the command line).

Don't think I missed anything =D
