Copy specified folders

Comment:

I have a directoy that has 600 folders and I want to copy about 200 folders and their contents(folders and files) that all start with the letter K. Can I use xcopy? if so what is the proper syntax. I tried xcopy c:\folder\F??? E:\folder /s/v But it wouldn't work. Any other ideas?

Hello JoelG, I use back up individual files/folders tool provided by Acronis. It has very comfortable interface.

Maybe like this: XCOPY C:\folder\K* E:\folder\ /S But this will only work if there are no files in \folder\, only directories. If there are files with first letter K, they would also be copied. Try DIR C:\folder\K* to see how it lists things. See XCOPY /? Best ________________________________________________
