My goal is to make a directory in a sub directory and copy files in the map dir

example:
c:\dir\1
c:\dir\2
etc..............
what i want
c:\dir\1\map
c:\dir\2\map
c:\dir\3\map
etc.................

i know a few commands but that whont work
copy files works whit this command
FOR /R %%g IN (.) DO xcopy *.jpg "%%g\*"

i want the jpg files in a sub dir (map)
so i try this command
FOR /R %%g IN (.) DO md map "%%g\*"

it makes directory's in a loop c:\dir\1\map\map\map\map\...........
c:\dir\2\map\map\map\map\...........
c:\dir\3\map\map\map\map\...........

Who knows the command for creating sub directory's an copy *.jpg files to the created directory

I hope you'll understand i'm dutch sorry

another question..........

is it possible to move files with the same directory name to that directory
c:\map\photo1.jpg (file) (move this file to photo1 map)
c:\map\photo1 (map)

One thing isn't clear to me. Do you try to copy only the .jpg files or the entire directory structure as well?

only *.jpg files
copy .jpg files to (created map directory)
c:\dir1\map
c:\dir2\map
c:\dir3\map
etc..............

I see. You could try the following code:

As you can see I prefer to process the DIR command, but it's up to you ...

thank you it works almost good

it makes the right directory and copied the jpg files in it
but my jpg files are in the root and not in sub dir
if i change the command
for /f "delims=" %%b in ('dir /a-d /b /s "%root%\%%a\*.jpg"')
in
for /f "delims=" %%b in ('dir /a-d /b /s "%root%\*.jpg"')

it copies the jpg file from the root to the map dir (c:\dir\dir1\map)
but if i look at the command shell it copies more than there are folders
see my image


there are no copies all jpg files are in the right directory

OK if all .jpg files are placed in the root you don't need DIR /S.
Try
