Creating a general batch that must run from the parent folder. It would serve to move...
- PARENTphotosJan_2018.jpeg
- PARENTphotosFeb_2018.jpeg
- PARENTphotosMar_2018.jpeg
- etc
into...
- PARENTJan_2018_Backup
- PARENTFeb_2018_Backup
- PARENTMar_2018_Backup
- etc
respectively
The final destination folder will always end with _Backup
This is what I have attempted and hit a dead end with:
for "%~dp0photos" %%A in (*.jpeg) do move "%%A" "%~dp0%%~nA_Backup"
However I keep getting the error:
PARENT/photos was unexpected at this time
PS: "PARENT
" is not the actual folder name, but a placeholder for any directory that may be the parent folder to run the batch in.

You cannot specify a path after theFOR

command.
