Am I supposed to leave the %file% at the end of the source path?
I have tried it without the %file% and it copies ALL files from source to the destination. (not just the files named in the textfile.txt) I then added it in the %file% at the end of source and get "error 267: the directory name is invalid Any ideas what I am missing? thanks! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ --------- @echo off setlocal for /f %%a in (textfile.txt) do set file=%%a& call :COPY endlocal goto :eof :COPY Echo copying %file%... robocopy \\server1\data2\%file% \\server1\test goto :eof ________________________________ From: James Rankin [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, January 03, 2008 9:25 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Re: copy files from destination folder by UNC path to new folder It would be simple enough to....
