Help me in my Batch Script

[akki15623]

I have a batch script which copies the targeted files from drives, for example if I want all .doc to be copied from C Drive it copies all, the thing is I need it to copy 20, or 10 files not full .doc from C drive.

Can anyone help me in this please.

Here is the code for the script.

Code: [Select]

@echo off
SETLOCAL EnableDelayedExpansion
set destfolder=D:\copiedjpegs
set searchdrive="C:\"
for /f "tokens=*" %%P in ('dir %searchdrive%*.doc /s /b') do copy "%%P" %Desktop%
