xcopy wildcard source folder name to destination
batch-file, cmd, wildcard, xcopy
Solution
for /f "delims=" %%a in ('dir /b/ad "a:\parentfolder\n*" ') do xcopy "a:\parentfolder\%%a\*" x:\parentfolder\
As you have it, XCOPY assumes that `n*` is a filespec, and there's no way to tell it otherwise.
Problem
I want to copy from a wildcard source folder to a destination folder: ``` xcopy a:\parentfolder\n* x:\parentfolder ``` Only folders starting with "n" should therefore be copied to the destination. Any help to get this working would be much appreciated.
