Apply For...do command ??

[ceesvb]

Hi,
I have on my laptop a collection of MP3 files in multiple folders and want a selection from it (including the folders!) copied to an USB stick, to be played in the car.
I already figured that I for example can mark certain numbers as read-only, and then exclude these numbers from copying.
Or exclude files with the name of the artist or a string in this name.
In any case I myself did not succeed using Xcopy.
Perhaps with FOR ... DO Copy ?? what syntax to be used??

Why don't you provide use with the directory/file structure and the attempts you have made so far to achieve you goal? (ensuring that you goal is fully understandable).

The mp3-files (att) are stored in submaps 1,..2 en ..3 (att).
All files are to be transferred to an usb-stick including the respective directories, except those of one or more singers whose numbers do not have to be copied.
On my radio I can first choose the wanted SubMap and then travel through the files.
With excuses because of my language being not my native.

Until someone provides a solution this is what you can do:

1. copy all files to USB stick
2. on USB stick: delete files you don't need

Execute ROBOCOPY /? and see what its option /XF is for.
