I am a newbie to writing DOS batch files. I've been doing countless research on this script and it's becoming futile. I am wanting a script that will search the local drive for a folder (parasysinfo). If this folder is found, I am wanting the script to copy the new folder from my network drive and replace the folder on my local drive. Can you please help me figure this out? Thank you in advanced.

This is what I have so far...

@echo off
setLocal DisableDelayedExpansion

for /f "tokens=* delims= " %%a in ('dir/b/s/a-d c:\parasysinfo') do (move /y
G:\\filer01\depthome\Paratran\MARK\parasysinfo "%%a")

The space behind delims= split the path if it contents spaces. Remove it.
/a-d excludes folders, you need /ad.

Untested:

Code: Select all

for /f "tokens=* delims=" %%a in ('dir /b /s /ad c:\parasysinfo') do (
  move /y "G:\filer01\depthome\Paratran\MARK\parasysinfo" "%%a"
)

I appericate the feedback. It's not working. I'll go back to the drawing board.

OK, step by step.

Code: Select all

@echo off &setlocal
for /f "tokens=* delims=" %%a in ('dir /b /s /ad c:\^|findstr /iec:"\parasysinfo"') do echo %%a
pause

Will this output the right path?
