[SOLVED]folder filter by name

[tungle]

Hi,
I need loop through a list of folder that have the same prefix, say (A1, A2,...,A100) and copy my files (from a source folder) to each folder. My try:

FOR %%A IN (*A*) DO (

XCOPY sourceFolder %%A /s/e

)

It doesn't pick the folder, it picks some files with the same prefix (say Annn.zip). I want to avoid this problem too.
Hope you guys help me out, thanks.

With your code you will only use files not folders.
And you use files that have the letter "A" in the name.

You will do this with folders (directories) please use this code:

Code: Select all

FOR /d %%A IN (*A*) DO (

XCOPY sourceFolder %%A /s/e

)

If you will only use folders that will beginning with the letter "A" please don't use "*A*".
Please use this: "A*"
