Copy sub folders with them files from folder a to folder b

[moh_salah8]

Hello all,

the problem
If i've one folder (a) contains many sub folders, these sub folders contain files with the same them folder name and another folder(b) contains 4 or 5 sub folders from folder (a)

I need your help to copy sub folders and them files from folder (a) to folder (b)


i hope to find your reply soon.

Thanks.

with the same them folder name

Try writing that again, and use some punctuation.

I, for one, don't quite understand what you want to do.

[moh_salah8]

i mean if the folder name is "a", the file name in this folder is "a" .

Thanks for ur reply.

So you have


c:\a\one\one.txt
c:\a\two\two.txt
c:\a\three\three.txt


What do you want to do with them?

[moh_salah8]

Sorry for late.

There is amendment to make the issue more clarification

We can change the batch idea to copy and replace some folders with sub folders and files to many paths.

c:\a\one\one.txt
c:\a\two\two.txt
c:\a\three\three.txt
---
c:\b\one\one.txt
c:\b\two\two.txt
c:\b\three\three.txt

I need to copy and replace them to

d:\a\one\one.txt
d:\a\two\two.txt
d:\a\three\three.txt
---------
d:\b\one\one.txt
d:\b\two\two.txt
d:\b\three\three.txt


- I need to copy sub folders with files to many paths by only one step to save a time.

sorry because i can't explain the issue as well and thanks for your patience


Thanks.

Maybe this will do what you want.

Code: Select all

@echo off
xcopy "c:\a\*.*" "d:\a\" /s
xcopy "c:\b\*.*" "d:\b\" /s

[moh_salah8]

Not exactly,

I've this command to copy files but the folders should be .Zip

FOR /F %%G IN ('dir /b %1') DO ROBOCOPY %1\%%G\ *.* %2\%%G /z

I need it to copy folders and files without compressing them.

What's wrong with the commands I gave?

[moh_salah8]

Your command line is fine but it works on one case.

I need command line work generally by giving it the original and the another path.

[foxidrive]

Then add parameters to the commands.

Next time you ask for help, please describe exactly what you want.
If you want to specify paths on the command line, then say so. Give examples.
