See... I told you there was a complicating factor you didn't share. :) From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of James Rankin Sent: Thursday, March 6, 2014 7:27 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [NTSysADM] Easiest way to do this....
Unfortunately I don't know the name of the source file, just a part of it. So I guess I am going to have to parse out the existing filename to a variable and do it from there.

I have a file in a specific folder that has a name which differs from system to system. I need to take a file from a different folder and replace the original file, but preserve the unique filename. Is there a command or util which can do this easily, or will I need to pull out the existing filename, store it, and then do a delete + copy + rename?
