REM for safety precautions, nothing will actually run or be modified if you run this script.

REM to actually make us of this script you should edit the safety variable below to "no"

set safety=yes

if /i "%safety%"=="no" set run=ECHO

if /i "%safety%"=="no" set run=@

set yourOldFolder=C:\Cadwell\Sierra Wave\Data.Cadwell

set yourNewFolder=\\nsm001\AppData\Backup\CADWELL\EMG Mesa

set logfile=%AppData%\filemove_log.txt

set TmpFile=%AppData%\variables.txt

set debug=no

REM possible formats are "mm dd yyyy", "dd mm yyyy" and "yyyy mm dd"

set DateFormat=mm dd yyyy

REM possible separators are - (dash), / (slash) or . (dot)

set DateSeparator=-

REM from now on, to use variables set within this FOR loop, an expression sign (!) is needed at start and end of the variable. e.g !var! instead of %var%

REM this also requires: setLocal EnableDelayedExpansion

REM set a variable to modified date of the current file

call set md=%%~ta

REM split up dd/mm/yyyy hh:mm to yyyy, mm and dd

REM create directory structure of parent directories in %yourNewFolder% path. Requires: setLocal EnableExtensions

the original script (which is not mine just to note) is by one year

REM set YYYY - (MINUS) 1 year

call set /a cy=!cy!-1

REM merge vars into one var

call set cdate=!cy! !cm! !cd!

REM remove spaces in cdate

call set cdate=!cdate: =!

what do i need to change this 2 month time frame

thanks,

I think you need to change this part of code, to months instead of years.

REM set YYYY - (MINUS) 1 year
call set /a cy=!cy!-1	
REM merge vars into one var
call set cdate=!cy! !cm! !cd!
REM remove spaces in cdate
call set cdate=!cdate: =!
