Re: Modifying batch to accommodate for any subfolder with "classified" in its name

I'm more than grateful Steffen for your solution. However, I tested it, but unforturnately I couldn't make it work. Your code was pasted in a batch file at it is, and tested on C:\My Documents directory that has all subfolders with word "classified" as part of their names, but nothing was changed. W...

I just want to create subfolders under any subfolder that has "classified" as part of its name.

Re: batch to overwrite files in all subdirectories in one folder if their names match with files in another folder

I did used ECHO ON, and "as usual" it was my silly mistake adding a forward slash to the path.
You did a great favour to me tonight, and I do really thank you very much.
You do have a great value added to this world.

All the best.

Re: batch to overwrite files in all subdirectories in one folder if their names match with files in another folder

I found the following solution at this link: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/53350200/batch-script-for-copying-files-based-on-name, which worked only on one directory which is the main one and did not run through the tree down to the subdirectories at all levels: for /r "C:\folderA" %%a in (*.fi...

Re: batch to overwrite files in all subdirectories in one folder if their names match with files in another folder

Thanks very much Steffen for your reply. Destination folder A has hundreds of subfolders where each of them has one third level subfolder named "resfiles" where all mp3 files exist. Source folder B has no subfolders and all the mp3 files are just staying in its root. I hope I didn't make it more dif...

Pardon me for a silly mistake that I made before running your code which made it not to run at first time.
