Batch command to move directory to another directory

Question

I have an .exe that produces a directory and a .zip of that directory.

I can move the .zip file into a another directory using:

move /y C:XXX/*.zip C:YYY/

I try moving the raw directory using something like this, but it gives me a filename/directory syntax error.

move /y C:XXX/Data* C:YYY

I am using a wildcard because the number may change at times but Data will always be there. Does anyone know another method?

Answer 1

for /d %%a in (c:xxx\data*) do move "%%~fa" c:yyy

for each folder matching the indicated set, move the folder to the target. The syntax is for batch usage. To use from command line, replace %% with %

But this (the move command) will fail if the moved folder still exists on target.
