Hi. I have a deep directory tree. for example: c:\0001 c:\0002 c:\0003 c:\0004 These folders have files in them that start with D and others that start with T. Does anyone know how I can copy all of the files that start with T? I've tried xcopy c:\000\t*.* c:\test\*.* /s but this copies the folders\subfolders as well. I just want to end up with all of the files in one folder. Anyone have any ides? By the way. I am just looking for dos commands or maybe suggestions for utilities that are out there. (I do not know programming) Each folder may have a few sub folders so I am looking to see if anyone has any suggestions besides writing a batch file to go into each and every folder.

Hi Try something like this @echo off dir /b ad *.* | find "000" > dirs.txt for /f %%a in (dirs.txt) do copy c:\%%a\t*.* c:\all\

worked perfectly. thanks to you dtech10
