I want to make a batch file that copies all the *_D08 directories and contents to another dir. Some thing like this:

Xcopy /e ???_D08 c:\SOME_OTHER_DIR

Could someone help me?

Thanks a lot.

Code: Select all

for /f "delims=" %%d in ('dir /ad/b ???_D08') do xcopy /e /i /y "%%d" "c:\SOME_OTHER_DIR\%%d"

Thank you!!!!
It really works! I have never used FOR command in batch files. I´m going to study its syntax.

Thanks for your help!
