i want to copy two files for example c:\a.jpg and c:\a.txt to d:\

how to do it by 1 line command?
(not using "for" command)

In this example, this should work.

i just want to copy these certain files. not any more. some other files with the same name "a" my be exist

My question is why do you want that?

Only way I can see to do it is with a FOR command.
for /F "tokens=*" %G in ('dir /a-d /b C:\a.txt C:\a.jpg') do copy %G D:\

He doesn't want to use the for command, Squashman.

The solution is very simple - and it seems to me like it is a question from an academic course.

I suppose you could do this as well.
copy a.txt T:\ & copy a.jpg T:\

Yeah. Maybe you should let him think for himself for such an elementary answer.

I thought that as well.

thanks to all
