the question was to copy file (make duplicates) to a number of files (not one to one)

and according to the file names from the list

example: copy file a.pdf to 3 different files taking names from file list.txt (ss.pdf, 231.pdf, dd.pdf)

How is anybody to know that you intend to take the file names from a list file if you don't say so? A good example of why it's important to phrase questions as exactly as possible.

I think (though I don't know) that there are some scripting solutions for such a task here in the forum. You could take a look at the MakeBAT plugin/addon that may help creating batch files that do the actual copying.

How to make duplicates with different names from a single file

if you have a constant file list and want to copy the selected file, you can use TCBL to do

Code: Select all

command: <Path to>\tcbl.exe
parameters: "<path to>\list.txt" copy "%N" $f

if you need more complicated stuff, you can use askparam and/or pre configured command inside tcbl.ini

Dalai, thank you

I downloaded this file, registered it as packer according to install.txt.

But how to use it? could you please explain

let's say in folder d:\test I want to copy initial file A.pdf to three files according to the names listed in list.txt file(SS.pdf, 231.pdf, DD.pdf)
what should be the sintax of command line?

thank you, but malware was detected from this URL
"File: TCBL/tcbl.exe, Enclosure: tcbl_dist.zip, malicious code name: PAK_Generic.005
The file is deleted."

I was wrong. I thought MakeBAT would help, because I hoped that you can work with a list file in the batch, but it doesn't look like it. So, you can either write a script by hand (if the list file is always the same) with any scripting language (Batch, PowerShell, Python etc) or try the tool nsp suggested.

You're using TrendMicro, aren't you? I'm pretty sure it's a false positive, according to this VirusTotal analysis.

thank you

but this script for duplicate files with numbering 01, 02, 03 etc and I need to take names from external txt file as I noted above like (SS.pdf, 231.pdf, DD.pdf)

[Vochomurka]

Have you tried Multirename tool (MRT)?
1) Make as many duplicates as you need;
2) Open MRT with these;
3) Press "Edit names";
4) In text editor replace column of target names with that from your list (powerful text editors like EmEditor can do this);
5) Save the file;
6) Press "Start!";
7) Enjoy

Also try this script

I tried to do this but as a result MRT duplicates just one name
result list:
"e:\aaa\TOC.pdf" -> "SS.pdf 321.pdf DD.pdf"

and I need to get in addition to initial TOC.pdf additional 3 files (and not one with this funny name)

[Vochomurka]

MRT does not duplicate files, my script does. Did you first perform step 1?
