Yet another Xcopy question

[kpropell]

Is it possible to use this example from dostips:

Code: Select all

set sourcedir=c:\Documents and Settings\*.pst
set backupdir=c:\pstbackup
for /f "tokens=*" %%a in ('dir "%sourcedir%" /s/b') do (
    xcopy "%%a" "%backupdir%.%%~pa" /Y/U
)

With a .txt file containing lot's of .extensions?
Say I have this rawimage.txt file, and it contains some 40 extensions of different formats.
Call up the script and just search the whole partition.

Is that possible?

Hi kpropell,

extend it to backup one extension at each call

Code: Select all

@echo off
setlocal EnableDelayedExpansion EnableExtensions
for /F "delims=" %%e in (rawimage.txt) do (
   echo backupExtension %%e
   call :backupExtension %%e
)
goto :eof

:backupExtension
set sourcedir=%CD%\pp\*.%~1
set backupdir=%cd%\backup\
for /f "tokens=*" %%a in ('dir "%sourcedir%" /s/b') do (
    xcopy "%%a" "%backupdir%.%%~pa" /Y
)
goto :eof

Hi! Very good, it works Thank you so much.

I'm wondering why

Code: Select all

echo backupExtension %%e

is echo'd, when

Code: Select all

echo %%e

works just fine.

edit:

I think it's starting to form.

Code: Select all

@ECHO OFF
SETLOCAL ENABLEEXTENSIONS
SETLOCAL ENABLEDELAYEDEXPANSION

Set SourcePath=%~0\..
