help with simple batch file issue

cojomo2

Hi,

I'm trying to create a simple batch file for end users that will serach their entire c:\ and make a copy of all files with a specefic extension. These files will be copied to a folder created on their U:

I was going to use Xcopy, but that is copying the folder structure too, which is unwanted.

This is what I have:

@echo off
c:
mkdir backup
for /R "c:\" %%f in ("*.rsf") do copy "%%f" u:\backup\ >nul

This works - copies over all .rsf file from the C to the U, however it also copies over all .rsft files - which I don't want.

What should I adjust so only .rsf files are copied?
Thanks

think I figured it out:

for: /r "c:\" %%f in (*.rsf) do if /i !%%~xf"==".rsf" copy "%%a" u:\backup\ >nul

What about robocopy??

doesn't robocopy copy directory structures also?

Robocopy has plenty of arguments, I'm pretty sure you can flatten output.
