    <p>Needs to be a simple script anyone with XP/Vista/7 can run (no PE or Powershell).</p> <p>I need to move a random amount of files (eg. 1-15), and also similarly named folders (which are in a different location), to their own folder at the same time. 30 files and 30 folders to choose from:</p> <pre><code>C:\game\store\XMLs -&gt; C:\game\mod\0.1.2\map\data map01_aaa.xml map02_bbb.xml map03_ccc.xml ... map60_zzz.xml C:\game\store\models -&gt; C:\game\mod\0.1.2\sky\stuff 01_aaa_map 02_bbb_map 03_ccc_map ... 60_zzz_map </code></pre> <p>Hope that makes sense if not I'll go to sleep and try again tomorrow. I read about a dozen questions related to moving random files thoroughly (such as <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/a/5552764/2003492">this one</a>), few hours of google, and reading robvanderwoude.com, I'm not very experienced. If anyone has any suggestions of what to do, what to read, or can give an example I can work off of to accomplish this, I'd appreciate it.</p> <p><strong>Edit:</strong> Here is the code I have so far, updated with the answer from jimhark:</p> <pre><code>@ECHO OFF &amp; setlocal ENABLEDELAYEDEXPANSION ENABLEEXTENSIONS SET SrcCount=0 SET SrcMax=15 FOR %%F IN (C:\game\mod\store\XMLs\*.*) DO IF !SrcCount! LSS %SrcMax% ( SET /A SrcCount += 1 ECHO !SrcCount! COPY %F C:\game\mod\0.1.2\map\data\ COPY %%F C:\game\mod\0.1.2\map\data\ SET FNAME=%%~nF XCOPY /s "C:\game\mod\store\models\!FNAME:~3!" "C:\game\mod\0.1.2\sky\stuff\!FNAME:~3!\" ) </code></pre> <p>It's not randomly selecting files though, even with %RANDOM%%%15, it always moves the first 8 files for example. Also the code to move the folders doesn't work, it will only move the files.</p>

    1. COThe original code moved a random *number* of files, but doesn't randomly pick them, always picks from the beginning. You now have is set to always copy the first 15.

    3. COIn file layout description you say the source files are `C:/game/store/XMLs` (the slashes go the other way, I'm tired of retyping them every time I copy/past them), but in your .bat file you copy from `C:\game\mod\store\XMLs\`. Which is correct?

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
