Hi all,
I have a notepad file with a list of folder names. what i need is a batch file that will read from the text file and cut the folders (with subfolders and files) and paste it to a different directory.
The txt file will have the names of the folders listed.
for example
Folders are located here: C:\source
Folders should be copied here: C:\destination
Which folders exactly needs to be copied stands in the txt.
Thanks,
@echo off
for /f %%a in (copyjob.txt) do (
xcopy /e /i c:\source”%%a” c:\destination”%%a”
:: i don’t think the following is required, but ya never know.
:: del /s c\source”%%a”\*.*
rd /s /q c:\source”%%a”
)
::==== end
and here’s another approach, based on Tony’s and Mike’s excellent suggestions (which i did not think of):
@for /f %%a in (copyjob.txt) do move c:\source”%%a” c:\destination”%%a”
:: end
