You might want to account for spaces in file names.
Code: Select all
for /f "delims=" %%a in ("c:/a/b/c/filelist.txt") do (
cd "c:/d/e/f"
if exists "%%a" copy "%%a" "c:/g/h/i"

Copy C:\a\b\c\*.* C:\d\e\f
Of course, the dir command can be redirected to create a filelist.txt and then use that to carry out the copying in the order that the file dictates.
I thought there might be a way to skip the creation of the filelist.txt and do it all in one likeCode: Select all
for /f %%a in dir....
