Hi, May I know how can I write a batch file to copy multiple files(few thousand) from different raid drive and respective directory? I had the database of the whole list of respective file names and it's directory stored. I planned manually copy & paste all the files that I wish to copy out in the script file. And it will just copy all the files I want without me doing it one by one. Thanks!

If you have stored the list with the files you want to copy you can read it out with a for loop. Please try it with echo if it reads out what it should before you do copy. Evtl. you have to skip the first 2 lines.
@echo off setlocal set source=your list set target=your destination folder for /f %%a in ('type %source%') do xcopy %%a %target% endlocal :EOF
hope this helps uli

Oh, I didn´t read you post carefully. Different raid drives and respective directories might make it a bit complicated. You might have to filter with find and need a few if statements. Depends on your list.
