I am trying create a script to copy files with the same extension out of multiple directories into a single directory.
It looks a little like this..
c:\mydir\dir1\file1.RTA
c:\mydir\dir2\file2.RTA
c:\mydir\dir3\file3.RTA
..into a single directory..
c:\newdir\file1.RTA
c:\newdir\file2.RTA
c:\newdir\file3.RTA
I can’t use XCOPY because it copies the subdirectories, which I don’t want. So far I’ve created a small batch file that pipes the output from..
DIR c:\mydir\*.RTA /S /B > temp.txt
..giving me the full paths of all the files which looks like..
c:\mydir\dir1\file1.RTA
c:\mydir\dir2\file2.RTA
c:\mydir\dir3\file3.RTA
All I need to do is create some kind of a filter to add in COPY before each path in the file and the destination. So the TEMP.BAT file will look like..
COPY c:\mydir\dir1\file1.RTA c:\newdir\
COPY c:\mydir\dir2\file2.RTA c:\newdir\
COPY c:\mydir\dir3\file3.RTA c:\newdir\
But I don’t know how to do that in a DOS environment.
Anyone know how or an easier way to do it?
