Conditional copy

[Manu310]

Hi all !
Quite new to batch (or at least to do more than call scripts and change
directory) here...
For my project, I'm trying to copy all dll from a directory in delivery
directory... I can already to that "brainless" with :

Code: Select all

FOR /R %srcDir% %%f IN (*.dll) DO COPY %%f %destDir%

But the goal has changed since. Indeed, I need to copy dll but not all of them
(I want to copy release dll but not debug dll... for a lib like Qt for instance)
So far here is the sort of terrible thing I tried to write:

Code: Select all

FOR /R %srcDir% %%f IN (*.dll) DO (
 SET temp = %%f
 SET temp = !temp:d4.dll=!
 IF %%f==!temp! COPY %%f %destDir%
)

Could you help me get this working ? (Actually, I'm kind of lost with
variables in batch, between var, %var%, %%var, !var!...)

You could put the release and debug dlls into different locations:

Code: Select all

FOR /R "%srcDir%/debug" %%f IN (*.dll) DO COPY %%f %destDir%
FOR /R "%srcDir%/release" %%f IN (*.dll) DO COPY %%f %destDir%

Thanks for your answer !
That would be the most relevant way to do it, but I'm working on an existing architecture and I can't simply move every files as I want with no consequences ^^

I actually managed to make it work, and learnt from my mistake: no whitespaces around the attribution = !
So I came with :

Code: Select all

setlocal enabledelayedexpansion
FOR /R %srcDir% %%f IN (*.dll) DO (
    SET t=%%f
    IF %%f==!t:d4.dll=! COPY %%f %destDir%
)

Now, I need to do the same kind of verification with scripts using xcopy and robocopy ^^
