I'm attempting to search for particular words in a directory name (must use
wildcards!), and, if
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.

You're going to have to script that, certainly.
You could use robocopy or xcopy or do the whole thing in powershell, but no
native tool provides the logic you want without some form of scripting.
For instance, assuming that you were going to start in the C:\TEMP folder,

Good one, Scott.
Jeff, remember to add a % to each variable if used in a batch file, vs the
command line.

Thanks all. Scott's suggestion is close and at least got me pointed in the
right direction. Some of the paths are too long for DIR which throws a
wrench in the works, so I'm going to have to rely on windows search for now.
Powershell, unfortunately, currently isn't an option.

How long are the paths?
There are other ways to handle this, btw...
Try the following snippet. It should handle long folders even if Windows
complains about them
@echo off
SETLOCAL ENABLEDELAYEDEXPANSION
SET @SOURCE=%SystemDrive%
SET @DEST=D:\SomePlace
SET @FIND=PrivacIE
:Main
for /f

Nice to see pushd and popd making an appearance :)
Few nits and questions, just to make sure I'm not missing something:
1. The echo in front of xcopy shouldn't be there. I'm sure it's just
there for troubleshooting and left
