How to copy files using Windows package?

Question

I have a directory with several subdirectories with files.
How to copy all files to subdirectories in a new location?

Edit: I don't want to copy directories, just files ...

Since this is still on XP, I chose the following solution:

for /D %S IN ("src\*.*") DO @COPY "%S\" "dest\" 

Thanks!

Answer 1

Ok With your editing that says you don't need a directory structure, I think you will want to use something like this:

 for /F "usebackq" %s IN (`DIR /B /S /AD SrcDir`) DO @( XCOPY %s DestDir\%~nxs ) 

Answer 2

The Xcopy team should help here.

 XCOPY /E SrcDir\*.* DestDir\ 

Or, if you do not want any files in SrcDir, only subdirectories, you can use XCOPY in combination with the FOR command:

 FOR /D %s IN (SrcDir\*) DO @XCOPY /E %s DestDir\%~ns\ 

Answer 3

robocopy "c:\source" "c:\destination" /E

Answer 4

If I understand correctly, you have a large directory tree, and you want all the files inside it to be in the same directory. If this is correct, then I can do it in two lines:

 dir /s /b "yourSourceDirectoryTreeHere" > filelist.txt for /f %f in (filelist.txt) do @copy %f "yourDestinationDirHere" 

In the batch file compared to the command line, change% f to %% f

Answer 5

If you want to keep the same folder structure at the other end, it sounds as simple as XCOPY

xcopy c: \ old \ *. * d: \ new \ / s

Use / e instead of / s if you also want to copy empty directories.

Answer 6

  for /D %S IN ("src\*.*") DO @COPY "%S\" "dest\"
