Copy Files with exact Structure into another Directory using XCopy

Question

Think I want to copy this file C:\\Majid\\File\\text.txt to D:\\Copied ( C:\\Majid\\File\\text.txt ---> D:\\Copied )

I want to use Xcopy to copy that file with its full directory into D:\\Copied , then I should have something like this ---> D:\\Copied\\Majid\\File\\text.txt , as you see the drive letter is removed and all of other directory is created in destination directory.

How can I do this action by XCopy?

Answer 1

this one was good for me

xcopy $(SolutionDir)Libs\YourFolder\* $(TargetDir)YourFolder /s /i /r

source

Answer 2

see this:

XCOPY COMMAND

... Syntax xcopy Source [Destination] [/w] [/p] [/c] [/v] [/q] [/f] [/l] [/g] [/d[:mm-dd-yyyy]] [/u] [/i] [/s [/e]] [/t] [/k] [/r] [/h] [{/a|/m}] [/n] [/o] [/x] [/exclude:file1[+[file2]][+[file3]] [{/y|/-y}] [/z] ...

what you will find interesting in that page is this:

/s : Copies directories and subdirectories, unless they are empty. If you omit /s, xcopy works within a single directory.

Answer 3

set sourceFolder="C:\test\new folder\text.txt"
set destinationFolder=%sourceFolder:~3,-1%
echo %destinationFolder%

xcopy %sourceFolder%  "D:\xcopied%destinationFolder%"

Something like that could work. Remove the first few characters of the source ("C:"), then add the characters for the destination folder ("D:\\xcopied").

Answer 4

Here it is:

set sourceFolder="C:\Users\User\Desktop\34\*"
set destinationFolder=%sourceFolder:~3,-1%

xcopy %sourceFolder%  "D:\xcopied%destinationFolder%" /s /i /r

based on @daniel and @WahidBitar answers. Thank you men ;)

Answer 5

try something like this:

System.Diagnostics.Process.Start
("XCOPY.EXE", "/E /I /Y " + filename + " " 
+ pfadauswahl + "Backup\\" + dt.ToString("yyyy-MM-dd") 
+ "\\UserData\\" + File_Name + "* ");

with the star at the end of the line, i got rid of the question if its either a file or a dir.. since you didn't specify anything on how you want to use it... here is the solution for c#
