Re: XCOPY folder wildcard?

That's odd. It doesn't seem to recognize XCOPY.

'xcopy' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
Press any key to continue . . .


Thanks for your help so far, by the way. You've done far more than I could have by myself.

Re: XCOPY folder wildcard?

Hmm..same deal. It does not appear to be working no matter where I type it.

EDIT: I just discovered the CLS command. If I place it on a line above the XCOPY command, the errors are erased from the final output.
Looks like this is as good as it gets. Thanks for all the help, everyone. :)

Re: XCOPY folder wildcard?

Would there be any way to use >nul or something similar to simply hide the first six lines of what I posted above? After some searching I can't seem to find any solutions. D:

Re: XCOPY folder wildcard?

You need to build an array of folders matching the first wildcard, then build another array of folders matching the second from the first array, then process that list through your xcopy command all with for loops. I'm pretty sure wildcards only work on the last part of a path. @echo off&setloc...

Here's what I'm trying to do: Use XCOPY to copy a file from a folder to another folder. However, I want to use a wildcard for folder names, specifically the underlin...
