First, don't use copy - use robocopy instead.
Next, do it this way:
robocopy c:\somedirectory\ d:\temp\ file1 /log d:\results.txt
robocopy c:\someotherdirectory\ d:\temp\ file2 /log+ d:\results.txt
blat.exe d:\results.txt -f [email protected] -subject "Copy
Job Results" -t [email protected] -server exchange.somewhere.com
or this way, if both files are in the same directory:
robocopy c:\somedirectory\ d:\temp\ file1 file2 /log d:\results.txt
blat.exe d:\results.txt -f [email protected] -subject "Copy
Job Results" -t [email protected] -server exchange.somewhere.com
