copy 3 files to every directory in a certiain folder

[ehsan_08]

lets say i have about 10 folders in C:\files\
and i have 3 files that needs to be copied to every of those 10 folders, any idea how?
and let me know if i can make a exception for a folder to not be cpoied


maybe something like:

Code: [Select]

set /p dir= DIR
copy "1.txt+2.txt+3.txt "%dir%



thanks

the code you've got should work just without the quotation marks...
also unless you want to change the directory you're copying into then there's no need for the /p argument.

Code: [Select]

set dir= DIR
copy 1.txt+2.txt+3.txt %dir%
keep us informed

Code: [Select]

@echo off
set folder=c:\files
for /f "tokens=* delims=" %%v in ('dir /a:d /b %folder%') do (
copy 1.txt %folder%\%%v
copy 2.txt %folder%\%%v
copy 3.txt %folder%\%%v
)
   

Using code like copy "1.txt+2.txt+3.txt "%dir% will append the text files into a single file labeled 1.txt

I expect the target folder name needs quote marks around it, judging by that screen shot.

Code: [Select]

copy 1.txt "%folder%\%%v"
... etc

[ehsan_08]

thanks, that worked!!

now to improve it a bit more, if u will help
anyway to make it ask u for the location, so i don'y have to edit the bat everytime, instead the bat asks me for the dir

i tried this, doesn't work:

Code: [Select]

@echo off
set /p location= Type in the directory please.
set folder= %location%
for /f "tokens=* delims=" %%v in ('dir /a:d /b %folder%') do (

copy 1.txt "%folder%\%%v"
copy 2.txt "%folder%\%%v"
copy 3.txt "%folder%\%%v"
)



pause
EDIT:btw,
about this part:

   copy 1.txt "%folder%\%%v"
   copy 2.txt "%folder%\%%v"
   copy 3.txt "%folder%\%%v"

one file's name has an space in the name of it, so it says not found, but when i replaced with a _
it worked
anyway to not put _?

[Dias de verano]

That screen shot is much too big. Making scroll bar appear.

The file names are 1.txt 2.txt and 3.txt. I do not see any spaces.

Do not understand about _ An underscore _ is not a space.

When you say "doesn't work", please give more details.

Code: [Select]

@echo off
set /p location= Type in the directory please.
set folder= %location%
Remove the spaces after the = signs.

[ehsan_08]

i see, it worked
ty
sorry for that huge pic

and btw, the names of those txt files, those were the samples, tests out

wut i mean, i have 2 files, lets say "Dos is cool.txt"
it won't find it, since theirs space in the filesname

[ehsan_08]

PLEASE HELP!!

its almost done!!!
im having one problem, when u put a DIR to go on, if the dir has space in it, it won;t work?

for ex: C:\files to backup\
won't work cuz of the space in em

but this:
C:\filestobackup\
works?

any idea??

[fireballs]

Code: [Select]

)

works fine on my system.

What does xxxxxx represent? If it represents filenames with spaces, then you should know by now what to do.

[ehsan_08]

im sorry
the xxxxx are for some files, if i put the real name, might be a spam in here

im having trouble with the folder name, when it asks for a folder,
the folder:
C:\files backup\
won't work, and when i put ""

here, the real file:

try it on a folder that has spaces

I am having great difficulty understanding what you are trying to do.

Why have you posted a link to an exe file? I though this was a batch file forum.

This is turning into one of "those" threads.
