About copying file - pijero1stjudnt - 04-08-2014

I want to copy all .txt files from "C:\" to "D:\" for example (include copying files from "Documents and Settings", "WINDOWS", etc). How can I do that?

RE: About copying file - chmod - 04-08-2014

This is fairly simple to do and could have been answered straight away with a simple google search:

Code:
for /r %x in (*.txt) do copy "%x" D:\targetDir\ /Y

Tks for your reply. I've tried this code but nothing happen Sad

I've found this code

Code:
xcopy "c:\folder a\folder b\my folder\*.*" "c:\*.*" /s /e /c

which is what I'm looking for. This topic can be closed now

I think you can do something like

Code:
copy C:\*\*.txt D:\

90% sure this would work but @chmod's looks more legit

I've tried it and it didn't work. I think you can't write "\*\" as all folders

scratch what I said before, I think all you need to do for C:\ is C:\*.txt
