Hi, I am trying to create a batch file to copy files from a list of locations in a .txt file to a new location. The code below gives me an error, because the files have spaces in the names. @echo off echo -- > C:\TestingTMP.txt xcopy /y C:\Testing.m3u C:\TestingTMP.txt find "H:\Music" C:\TestingTMP.txt >> C:\Testing.txt for /f %%a in (C:\Testing.txt) do ( xcopy /y %%a H:\Music\Testing ) "Testing.txt": H:\Music\Kutless\Kutless - Sea Of Faces.mp3 H:\Music\Tree 63\The Life And Times Of Absolute - Tree 63 - How Did I Sleep.mp3 etc. Using a third party program (because all the forums indicate this is what it will take to do text find and replace), I have changed the list generated in "Testing.txt" and put inverted comma's around the files with spaces. H:\"Music"\"Kutless"\"Kutless - Sea Of Faces".mp3 H:\"Music"\"Tree 63"\"The Life And Times Of Absolute - Tree 63 - How Did I Sleep".mp3 etc. Now the code for /f %%a in (C:\Testing.txt) do ( xcopy /y %%a H:\Music\Testing gives me a "Parse Error"! And it still only looks at the title before the first space! eg. c:\>(xcopy /y H:\"Music"\"Kutless"\"Kutless - Sea H:\Music\Testing Parse Error Can anyone please shed some light on this supposed to be simple function and how to solve the problem?

Use your original list and modify the For /F statement as below for /F "delims=" %%a in (C:\Testing.txt) do ( xcopy /Y "%%a" H:\Music\Testing )

That works beautifully, thanx!!
