Really simple/easy request for a script, one minutes work

[stigmata]

There is a bug with PartyPoker in the latest version that the notes.txt file gets deleted/truncated.

We need a script that does this:

1) Copies the notes.txt file to a specified folder, and names it notes.datestamp-timestamp.txt
2) Starts party poker.

At least this way we can recover it, if it gets deleted again.

Copy paste the text into notepad. Save as a .bat file. Double click to run. The window will hang around until party is closed, someone else might be able to prevent this.

@echo off
IF NOT EXIST "%programfiles%\partygaming\partypoker\notes backup\" MKDIR "%programfiles%\partygaming\partypoker\notes backup\"

for /f "tokens=1-3 delims=/- " %%a in ('date /t') do set XDate=%%a-%%b-%%c
for /f "tokens=1-3 delims=: " %%a in ('time /t') do set XTime=%%a-%%b-%%c


IF EXIST "%programfiles%\partygaming\partypoker\notes.t xt" COPY "%programfiles%\partygaming\partypoker\notes.t xt" "%programfiles%\partygaming\partypoker\notes backup\notes.%XDate%_%XTime%.txt

cd %programfiles%\partygaming\

start partygaming.exe -P=PartyPoker

Try changing them all to "progra~1" instead.
