copy and rename using batch files

Question

Hi I need to create a batch file that will copy the information in the batch file to a new .txt file. Also I need to make a batch file that will rename a .txt file

And what exactly is the question? Do you have a specific problem with these batch files that you need us to help you with? — fvu, Feb 07 '13 at 23:20
Ya I have hardly any experience with batch files, I dont really know what commands or what to enter — user2052694, Feb 07 '13 at 23:24
In that case I'd suggest you start with a good [tutorial](http://www.computerhope.com/batch.htm) — fvu, Feb 07 '13 at 23:29

Use ren and rename to rename files, and copy to duplicate a file.

rename oldname newname
copy oldfile newfile

I am assuming you're using MS-DOS.

Another question, how would I make a loop to copy it at a certain time? – user2052694 Feb 07 '13 at 23:51
