使用批处理文件通过网络从动态创建的文件夹复制文件？

Question

I am using TFS2013 and when a build is completed, a new sub-folder would be created inside the Drop Folder. How can we copy files from this folder to another subfolder inside this folder (which has to be created by us) using batch files? I have to run this batch file as Post-Build script in TFS2013 Build Arguments.

Problem is we need to take care of network paths, as the drop folder is located in Dev server. The batch file which I created runs perfectly fine when run from the Dev server itself but gives file not found error when run after a build.

Here is the code:

@echo off
::Date - 6/16/2015  ;; 6:58PM
::Find the directory containing the latest build - latest created directory.
FOR /f "delims=" %%x in ('dir "\\HQVEBLD01\TestDrop\TSOLB\" /od /b') do set latest=%%x
if not exist "\\HQVEBLD01\TestDrop\TSOLB\%latest%\_PublishedWebsites" mkdir "\\HQVEBLD01\TestDrop\TSOLB\%latest%\_PublishedWebsites"
:: above line creates published websites folder if it doesn't already exist
if not exist "\\HQVEBLD01\TestDrop\TSOLB\%latest%\_PublishedWebsites\NotificationGenerator" mkdir "\\HQVEBLD01\TestDrop\TSOLB\%latest%\_PublishedWebsites\NotificationGenerator"
if not exist "\\HQVEBLD01\TestDrop\TSOLB\%latest%\_PublishedWebsites\Tasks" mkdir "\\HQVEBLD01\TestDrop\TSOLB\%latest%\_PublishedWebsites\Tasks"


::first copy common files. our first folder is scheduled tasks folder
::
xcopy.exe "\\HQVEBLD01\TestDrop\TSOLB\%latest%\A.dll" "\\HQVEBLD01\TestDrop\TSOLB\%latest%\_PublishedWebsites\Tasks\"

:( Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks :)

mkdir "\\HQVEBLD01\TestDrop\TSOLB\%latest%\_PublishedWebsites\Tasks*"
rem                             this * is an invalid character     ^

You need not test the created folder existence; just use

md "\\HQVEBLD01\TestDrop\TSOLB\%latest%\_PublishedWebsites\NotificationGenerator"  2>NUL
md "\\HQVEBLD01\TestDrop\TSOLB\%latest%\_PublishedWebsites\Tasks" 2>NUL

Try pushd if any used command does not support UNC paths :

@echo off

pushd "\\HQVEBLD01\TestDrop\TSOLB\"

::Date - 6/16/2015  ;; 6:58PM
::Find the directory containing the latest build - latest created directory.

FOR /f "delims=" %%x in ('dir /ad /od /b') do set "latest=%%x"
::                            ^
mkdir "%latest%\_PublishedWebsites" 2>nul
:: above line creates published websites folder if it doesn't already exist
mkdir "%latest%\_PublishedWebsites\NotificationGenerator" 2>nul
mkdir "%latest%\_PublishedWebsites\Tasks" 2>nul


::first copy common files. our first folder is scheduled tasks folder
::
xcopy.exe "%latest%\A.dll" "%latest%\_PublishedWebsites\Tasks\"

popd

When a UNC path is specified, PUSHD will create a temporary drive map and will then use that new drive. The temporary drive letters are allocated in reverse alphabetical order, so if Z: is free it will be used first.
