It will copy all files found in test1 (including subdirectories) in the directory of test2. It will overwrite existing files as it copies. text/html 2007-10-08T16:58:33-05:00 Scott Harris http://www.hardwareanalysis.com/content/topic/68932/#513380 i have a similar batch i need to run. i have 1600 folders containing 2 files. i need to copy just those files in each folder to another single folder. i cannot program my way out of a paper bag so i need help. any ideas? text/html 2007-10-04T11:01:35-05:00 DublinGunner http://www.hardwareanalysis.com/content/topic/68932/#512824 xcopy - now there's a blast from the past.<br /> <br /> <br /> Could you not just use explorer?
