Batch file to create folder and subfolders and copy files

[lgt]

I have multiple project folders that contain files. The folders are named by their project id. I need to copy any pdf files that contain the word "approved" to a new folder. Below is an example.

Copy from here:
C:\Projects\Project_1\*Approved*.pdf

To here:
C:\Attachments\Project_1\Documents\*Approved*.pdf

The batch file needs to create a new project folder in "C:\Attachments" as well as 2 subfolders, "Documents" and "Images" and put the corresponding pdf files in the "Documents" folder.

I appreciate any help.

Test this:

Code: Select all

@echo off
for /r "C:\Projects" %%a in ("*Approved*.pdf") do (
   for %%b in ("%%~dpa\.") do (
      echo processing "%%a"
      md "C:\Attachments\%%~nxb\Documents" 2>nul
      md "C:\Attachments\%%~nxb\Images" 2>nul
      copy "%%a" "C:\Attachments\%%~nxb\Documents" >nul
)
)
pause

That worked great! That's exactly what I needed. Thank you!

I noticed that the batch file is copying all the files every time it is run. Could it be possible to only copy new or modified files?

Figured out my last question. Am able to copy just new or modified files by using xcopy instead of copy and /s /d /y. Thanks!
