如何使用xcopy将文件复制到非现有目录？

Question

As a part of an automated script, I am trying to do achieve something like this in windows command prompt:

xcopy /I /Y resources\xyz\pqrs.txt %TEMP%\resources\xyz\pqrs.txt.bak

In %TEMP%, there is no resources directory.

This is the interactive output, that I get:

Does C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Temp\resources\xyz\pqrs.txt.bak specify a file name
or directory name on the target
(F = file, D = directory)?

The whole thing is that I want to create a directory and copy file without interaction.

If I use a mkdir, I will have to extract the directory path out before using mkdir. I was just wondering if its possible to use xcopy to achieve mkdir+copy at the same time.

xcopy reference for all.

Thanks for the help.

Answer 1

Try this:

echo d| xcopy /f C:\\abc\\file1 C:\\abc\\newfolder\\file2

Answer 2

If the destination path ends with a backslash it will automatically be treated as a directory:

xcopy /f C:\abc\file1 C:\abc\newfolder\file2

will ask

Does C:\abc\newfolder\file2 specify a file name
or directory name on the target
(F = file, D = directory)? f

but

xcopy /f C:\abc\file1 C:\abc\newfolder0\newfolder1\newfolder2\

will just do the right thing.
