For /f "tokens=*" %i in ('dir *WORDS_TO_SEARCH* /s/a/b/ad') do robocopy /mir 
"%i" DESTINATION_PATH

This will search a folder tree for directorys.  Change the dir command to 
eliminate the /s if you only want to search the root.

Subject: file searching and copying

I'm attempting to search for particular words in a directory name (must use 
wildcards!), and, if found, copy the the directory tree while maintaining its 
structure to another directory.

Are there any native tools (or reskit like robocopy) that can accomplish this 
somewhat easily?

thanks,
Jeff
