Batch file is moving files individually and not folders.

Hi

I have the following script Ive tried to write and 90% there but it moving the files individually and not the subfolders.

Any Ideas?

Code: Select all

@echo off
set Source=C:\DOWNLOADS
set Target=C:\DOWNLOADS1
for /F %%a in ('dir  /od /b "%Source%\btp*.*"') do set Folder=%%a
copy /y "%SourcE%\%Folder%"  "%Target%"
set Source=C:\DOWNLOADS
set Target=C:\DOWNLOADS2
for /F %%a in ('dir  /od /b "%Source%\chiltern*.*"') do set Folder=%%a
copy /y "%SourcE%\%Folder%"  "%Target%"
del /q "C:\DOWNLOADS\*"
FOR /D %%p IN ("C:\DOWNLOADS\*.*") DO rmdir "%%p" /s /q
xcopy C:\DOWNLOADS2 C:\DOWNLOADS3 /E
