Filelisting to Directory Creation P2

[podgodd]

Ok, the title sounds a little more simple than it seems. What I am trying to do is create a batch script where given a certain directory, say "z:\" creates a directory listing of certain file types (*.pst). From there, the listing then would make the folder structure from the file list in a different mapped out location, say "m:\" with a folder created for the .pst name as well. Sorry if this sounds confusing; I am relatively new to batch commands and scripting.

Foxidrive helped me earlier and put together this:

dir /s /a:-d /b /o:n "Z:\*.pst" > Filelisting.tmp
for /f "delims=" %%d in (Filelisting.tmp) do md "M:\"%%~na" 2>nul
del Filelisting.tmp

How would I go about adding to this to create a folder the *.pst within the listing?

Thanks in advance!

sorry but what do you mean with

with a folder created for the .pst name as well

the code you provided create directories when it copies the files.

Currently the created directory only creates the folder structure up to the *.pst filename, and doesn't create a folder for the filename which I do want

Currently c:\testcase\joeblow\testing\help.pst is creating the folder structure c:\testcase\joeblow\testing

However, I would like it to create the folder structure c:\testcase\joeblow\testing\help where the filename is actually a folder.

The code you posted above doesn't do what you said it does.

This might do what you want.

Code: Select all

@echo off
dir /s /a:-d /b /o:n "Z:\*.pst" > Filelisting.tmp
for /f "delims=" %%a in (Filelisting.tmp) do md "M:\%%~pna" 2>nul
del Filelisting.tmp
