如何使用Windows Shell将使用脚本找到的所有文件复制到另一个文件夹

Question

I want to copy the files that are found from a search into a folder.

The script where /r C:\\ *.jpg *.jpeg *.png *.gif >> C:\\output.txt

gives a text document with the location of the files I want. How can I create a copy of the files found from the search into some output folder X:\\output\\

I want to get copies of all images in a folder including all subfolders into an output folder of all the images.

You could get the output of a command with a for /f loop:

for /f "delims=" %%A in ('where /r C:\ *.jpg *.jpeg') do echo working on %%A

or process a file with:

for /f "delims=" %%A in (C:\output.txt) do echo working on %%A

But for is capable to do it itself:

for /r "C:\" %%A in (*.jpg *.jpeg *.png *.gif) do ECHO copy "%%~fA" "X:\output\%%~nxA"

(remove the ECHO after troubleshooting to actually enable the copy command)

Note:
- this doesn't take care of possible duplicate names.
- this is batch file syntax. For use on command line, replace every %% with a single %
