I want to make a .bat to copy & rename a file multiple times. I want to have a list of names, and an original file, then I want to copy that file and rename it for each name on the list.

How I can do this using a .bat file?

Also is it possible to run winrar fromthe .bat to .rar or .zip every file after copying/renaming?
