copy newer files to specific folder

[chrisb421]

im using this command:

for /R C:\testfrom %%F in (*.zip) do @copy "%%F" C:\testto

and i want to search all the subdirectories and copy all the zip files and put them in one folder (no subfolders) and overwrite any files that are older.

the above command works in my batch file but will overwrite newer items in the target directory. i believe its a /D option I need to put in somewhere, but i don't know where. i figured it would go at the end of the line, but that didn't seem to do it. any help would be appreciated.

That would be true if you were using XCOPY.

The /D option of the COPY command does something completely different. Helps if you read the help files.

i guess it does. i changed the copy to xcopy and added the /D and /Y and it works now
