How do I copy files using Windows Batch?

Question

I have a directory with several subdirectories with files.
How can I copy all files in the subdirectories to a new location?

Edit: I do not want to copy the directories, just the files...

As this is still on XP, I chose the below solution:

 for /D %S IN ("src\*.*") DO  @COPY "%S\" "dest\"

Thanks!

Answer 1

The Xcopy command should help here.

XCOPY /E SrcDir\*.* DestDir\

Or if you don't want any of the files in SrcDir, just the sub directories, you can use XCOPY in conjunction with the FOR command:

FOR /D %s IN (SrcDir\*) DO @XCOPY /E %s DestDir\%~ns\

Answer 2

robocopy "c:\source" "c:\destination" /E
