Batch Files

[DylanHaskin]

I need a batch file to duplicate a folder structure(only the folders), as well as copy any .exe and .ini files in that directory. It can be two separate batch files - don't really mind. One to create the folder structure and one to copy only .exe's and .ini's.

Any help will be much appreciated!

You can do it with xcopy. Just check the command line options and work it from there.

Useta work in dos 6.22 back in the day not sure nw but:
Xcopy *.exe [target folder, eg c:\temp\] /s

That should copy all exe's (including exe's in the subdirectories, lol remember when folders were called directories? Showin my age i guess) into their corresponding folders. Rinse and repeat for ini's if it worx

Xcopy is good, robocopy is better. If you want an even easier option use Richcopy. It has GUI, and an option to output all your selected options to a command line for use in a batch file. You can use it to set filters to only copy what you want.

And FastCopy if faster, especially when copying onto the same drive
