Hi,

I think I need to create some kind of batch file to do this - copy and xcopy don't seem to have the functionality.

I have a file that I want to put in 100 subdirectories (I will need to do this on a regular basis). If the file already exists I want it to overwrite and, obviously I want it to do this all without user confirmation.

Does anybody know the easiest way this can be done?

Thanks

Shaun

How about

For /R E:\USERS %%I IN (.) DO COPY /y C:\PROFILES\sample.pro "%%I\sample.pro"

which copies sample.pro to all subfolders of E:\USERS

The quotes are to accomodate long subfoldernames.
