Question : Batch file to copy folders with a certain name

Hi,
I am a programmer, but the for loops in DOS really confuse me.  I've been struggling for the past 2 hours to figure this out.  We have certain folders on one drive named "_DAILY".  I would like to copy each folder named this to an external hard drive (using the same folder structure).

For instance take the output of this: dir /b /s D:\*_DAILY

and then for each filename do:

robocopy %copyDirectory% %destinationDirectory% /S

Thanks,
Jamie

Answer : Batch file to copy folders with a certain name

Give this a try, see if it gives you some ideas:

@echo off
set DestinationDirectory=X:\
for /F "tokens=*" %%A in ('dir /b /s "c:\*_daily"') do (
  robocopy "%%A" %DestinationDirectory%" /S
)
