XCOPY

Are you saying you do not want any of the folders inside of the music dir, just all of the files dumped into a single directory?

I do not  think u can do (files and subs) using xcopy.

But u can do it using VHS script where u need to loop through the folders and copy the files.

I have similar script to delete files (not copy). I will pass it to you tomorrow when I reach the office.

Copy should be similar.

I don't think this is possible with xcopy.

You could just create a batch file to do this, or try xxcopy

Yes.. I need to just take all the files from a Dir and all it's Sub Dir's and dump them into a single directory.

Is it possible with any other scripting like VB?

for /f "tokens=*" %a in ('dir /b /s /a-d "C:\users\darcy\Music') do @copy "%a" "C:\Music"

Sorry... my previous post didn't work in Windows 7.

Try this:

Open a dos window:
navigate to C:\users\darcy\Music
Enter this command and press enter:

  for /f "tokens=*" %a in ('dir /b /s /a-d') do @copy "%a" "c:\Music"

No wonder it didn't work... I forgot to close quotes!
Try this (you won't need to navigate to the root directory):

for /f "tokens=*" %a in ('dir /b /s /a-d "C:\users\darcy\Music"') do @copy "%a" "C:\Music"

XXCOPY is not recognized as a operable program.....

Rick,

When I try yours I get:

C:\Temp>call music.bat > sam.log
\Users\Darcy\Music"') do @copy "\MusicFiles" was unexpected at this time.

Rick,

If i just run what you said and not put it in a .bat file and then call it, it works.. however there are duplicates and it stops and asks me to overwrite or not... Is there a parameter I can put in so it automatically overwrites?

Looks like a typo on the XCOPY one:

XCOPY C:\*.*  D:\mydocs\   /SL

Try that instead.

Please ignore my last comment, I hadn't heard of xxcopy before.
