批处理文件以复制文件

Question

Need to have a batch file that will actually check if the file name has "abc" in its name and if its there , then it will initiate a copy. So suppose folder /test has 5 files

apt.text 
mar.text 
may.text 
Jan.text 
abc_xyx1234.text

So since "abc" appears in string only in the last file , it should pick only last one. I tried

@echo off 
for /f %%a in (' dir /b /a-d ^| find /v /i "abc" ') copy "%%a" 
pause

but it didn't work out.

Answer 1

You have no destination for your copy.

The find /v /i will find those filesnames that do not ( /v ) match abc

It's probably easier to use

copy *abc* destination

Answer 2

I think part of your problem is the following:

Even though forward slashes work sometimes , Windows' canonical path separator is the backslash \\ . Using forward slashes as path separators confuses programs which use the forward slash as parameter prefix, and most if not all of the Microsoft Windows tools do so, including FIND and FINDSTR .

Also, if you're talking about /folder - which should be \\folder as explained above - you're talking about a directory in the root of the current drive . I'm not sure you really mean that.

Apart from that, Magoo's suggestion is still kind of valid, but it omits the path "problem".

So let's use absolute directories to clarify:

I'll assume your source directory is c:\\work\\source and contains the file set you've stated in your question. I'll assume your target directory is c:\\stackoverflow\\target . So you can do the following from anywhere on your system:

copy c:\work\source\*abc* c:\stackoverflow\target

If you're doing this from an arbitrary folder on drive c , you could omit the drives:

copy \work\source\*abc* \stackoverflow\target

And, if you're inside the source folder, you could use Magoo's answer:

copy *abc* \stackoverflow\target
