Copy files from mult. subfolders

Comment:

Does anyone know how to copy files from multiple subfolders (under the same parent folder) to another directory using DOS commands? For example, if I wanted to copy all text files named *test.txt located in folders C:\A\1\, C:\A\2\, C:\A\3\, and paste them in C:\B\, is that possible? Thanks!

To Copy all *test.txt files in the same folder: xcopy C:\A\1\*test.txt C:\B xcopy C:\A\2\*test.txt C:\B xcopy C:\A\3\*test.txt C:\B If you want to copy files from all subfolders xcopy C:\A\*.\*test.txt C:\B Check also if xcopy /s is useful for you. It copies all subfolders with files in the directory. (xcopy /?). hope that helps uli
