Answer 1

Easy:

copy "c:\A" "d:\%username%_A"

EDIT finally, after some of your comments here and in your other question, I understood your request (I think).

@echo off
for %%i in (%*) do if /i "%%~xi"==".eps" copy "%%i" "\\10.10.14.13\adman\in\displ\%%~ni%username%.%%~xi"
pause

Answer 2

If your file names do not have an extension or if you want the user name to be appended after the very end of the name (i.e. even after the extension), you could just use the following simple command:

COPY * \10.10.10.1\BasketsIn\*%USERNAME%

where USERNAME is a system environment variable that resolves to the user name of the current user.

If, however, you have names with extensions and you want the user name to be appended after the file name but before the file extension, you could use the ? mask character like this:

COPY * \10.10.10.1\BasketsIn\???????????????????????????????%USERNAME%.*

Just make sure you have provided enough ?s to cover the longest possible name in your case. If you are interested, you can learn more about this method in this excellent, in-depth Super User answer by dbenham:

One more note: this method may not work as expected with file names that have "multiple" extensions, i.e. like some.txt.doc.
