Copy a file into every directory

Locked

Is there a way to copy a .txt file into every folder, but only two level
down. The alldone.txt resides @ d:\IMS\alldone.txt. I need it to be
copied to d:\IMS\PACS\”Physician’s Name”\*.*. I would prefer a batch file
os a script, something that I can set as a scheduled task.

You will have to create a list of the Doctors in notepad to reflect the folder names and save it to the IMS folder as DR.txt
EG:
Dr.txt
==========
Dr Jones
Dr Bob
==========

Copy and paste the line below into notepad and save it to the IMS folder as finnish.bat

for /f “delims=” %%i in (dr.txt) do echo D|xcopy “d:\IMS\alldone.txt” “d:\IMS\PACS\%%i” /i /z /y
