Batch File to Move or Copy Files

[Pratim]

I want to create the Batch File to move executable files from a source directory and its sub-folders to another location. Also I want to create the Batch File to copy certain files in the specific location. Does anyone have an idea how to create it? Please help me as soon as possible.

You can try the following batch code to Move the files :
@echo off
for /F "delims=" %%i in (files.txt) do (
echo %%i
move "%%i" c:\hello
)
Space is a default delimiter. The delims parameter fixes that (here there are no default delimiters other than a newline). You'll also need double quotes around your variable name on the move line. Hope that you were looking for the same.

Try the batch command that I mentioned below which can be useful to copy the files :

set path=c:\WINDOWS\system32;
echo Copying started at %date% %time%>>_date_.txt
xcopy E:\backup \\SERVER\BACKUP\others /s /a /d
echo Copying finished at %date% %time%>>_date_.txt
echo Completed Successfully at %date% %time%>>_date_.txt

I think that the Batch Code mentioned by the "Macarenas" should work. I have not tried to check that personally, but seeing that I guess it should work properly. If you are not able to then just use
Xcopy directory [destination-directory]
and then turn this into a .BAT file

I have used the following script to copy file quickly from source to destination. This script can work on Windows XP, 2003 or the lower version. This script accept the two command line argument and the syntax for that is :
mycopy.bat {source} {destination}
Where,
mycopy.bat is script that copies files and directories including subdirectories using Windows xcopy program.
source is used to specify the location and names of the file/directory you want to copy.
destination is used to specify the destination of the files you want to copy.

The source code of the mycopy.bat should be as follows :
@rem BATCH FILE
@echo off
if "%1" == "" goto error1
if "%2" == "" goto error2
@rem * Copy from source to destination including subdirs and hidden
@rem * File
xcopy "%1" "%2" /S /E /H
goto endofprogram
:error1
echo You must provide source
echo Syntax:
echo %0 source destination
goto endofprogram
:error2
echo You must provide destination
echo Syntax:
echo %0 source destination
goto endofprogram
:endofprogram

I want to create the Batch File to move executable files from a source directory and its sub-folders to another location.

# Script MoveExe.txt
var str source, destination, list, file
lf -r -n -g "*.exe" $source > $list
while ($list <> "")
do
    lex "1" $list > $file
    system move ("\""+$file+"\"") ("\""+$destination+"\"")
done

Script is in biterscripting. Save the script in file "C:/Scripts/MoveExe.txt". To call the script, type this command into biterscripting GUI.

script "MoveExe.txt" source("C:/testfolder1") destination("C:/testfolder2")

Will move all .exe files from the source directory "C:/testfolder1" and its sub-folders (see the -r flag) to the destination folder of 'C:/testfolder2".
