    i dont want to make backup
    i already got the folders backed up with True Image
    what i want is batch file that will move the directories while overwriting all the existing files\directories
    same as this command

    Code: [Select]
    @echo off
    for /f "delims=" %%F in ( ' dir /b /s /a-d ' ) do move "%%F" "C:\prison"


             
    just that this command move only the files inside the directories and leaving the direcories empty

      ignore the phrase "backup". It just means "copy".

        No. But he understands the adage that when in Rome, you do as the Romans do.

        Or, when you're on a forum you follow the rules. It's really quite a simple premise. I'm rather surprised it so easily slips out of the clutches of the cognitive skills of so many people seeking assistance.

          mad joker, you do post like a complete jerkwad sometimes. Most of the time in fact. Maybe even all of the time.
