Hi Folks, Here's an annoying one...I have 502 folders: c:/a bit of a path/dir1 containing various files, amongst them 20-30 jpg's c:/a bit of a path/dir2 containing various files, amongst them 20-30 jpg's etc. I need to copy them like so: d:/20071109/backup1 containing 1000 jpg's found amongst the above d:/20071109/backup2 containing 1000 jpg's found amongst the above etc (but with a lot less directories and nothing but jpg's) the best I have achieved: I can manually mess about for ages dragging bunches of files from windows search, but this takes time and it looks like I'll have to do this quite often, so a bat file would be a timesaver. All the files will always be in the same place (source). using xcopy or robocopy: d:/20071109/dir1 <----old directory name from source 20-30 jpg's from the source folder over on c: d:/20071109/dir2 20-30 jpg's from the source folder over on c: etc. Under Linux, probably not such a big deal, what with the ability to | the results of one op to the next etc, I'm sure I'd work something out. Any ideas without having to delve into filesystemobject and *shudders* visual basic? Have I missed something mind-numbingly simple that will have me pulling my eyes out with a corkscrew? -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/linux_adm/list-faq.html
