file copy..

[Nimmy]

Any one have a script to run on my Windows Xp machine for the following file
operations:

a) I have a file called xyz.ppt
b) If the time and date stamp changed, I mean basically if the file has been
modified, I want the SCRIPT to copy/overwrite that file in few other
different directory folders.

Why do I want to do this?
- I may have to do for different other files, iterative
- I have to copy them on my network drive as well from my C: drive
- To avoid manual copying all the times.

Thanks

Though you can still write most of the scripting logic in Perl, I would use
Windows xcopy /D for this, since it adheres closely to what the Win32 system
thinks is a modified file and does not make Unix file system assumptions. Look
up the docs for xcopy.
