ROBOCOPY - Copy folders content to a single folder

Question

Here is some code I made :)

@echo off
set source=\"R:\\Contracts\\\"
set destination=\"R:\\Contracts\\Sites\\\"
ROBOCOPY %source% %destination% *.srt *.pdf *         


        

Answer 1

There's an old PCMag utility called Sweep.exe that can operate the same command in the current and subdirectory. I wouldn't put the destination as a subdirectory of the source directory. Put the destination elsewhere.

cd c:\contracts sweep copy *.* c:\sites

This will copy everything from c:\contracts and underneath to c:\sites

I use a similar command to flatten the hierarchy of a directory.

Take care with duplicates and how you want to handle them. Do you want to overwrite or handle a different way.
