I need a batch file that reads a list of directories from a batch file and copies each directory entirely, including all subdirectories, to a destination path that is based on a combination of user input (command line parameter) and the source path. Text file ([login to view URL]): \\server\share8\Col_3cf01b70-c413-4fba-bfd8-f4728c3db792\5 Aug 10 08 57 48 AM\Item_a54c4d15-324f-4ccb-a945-b7418193aed3\1 \\server\share17\Col_77b140e6-9909-4534-b2a5-4f34f60c2d7c\28 Feb 11 12 57 50 PM\Item_6d604a41-2fce-49a3-b2d8-1288d49011aa\1 \\server\share6\Col_0b9b6932-e71d-406f-a96c-edd3f1131f84\16 Oct 09 10 49 29 AM\Item_6742637b-2fb2-4be4-97c1-387b903a265a\1 \\server\share14\Col_2d0cf69e-121b-41ee-9fb7-d7ea0db510cf\23 Sep 10 11 39 58 AM\Item_13cd7388-74ab-46d8-902e-04ea6a3276e5\1 \\server\share6\Col_fd55faa0-f309-4793-8d53-51c36fee86a1\15 Oct 09 04 04 28 PM\Item_ebcc049e-77b4-454f-a3a5-b2e7b93df32d\1 \\server\share6\Col_74245aaf-25a9-4a1c-b907-fc9c81ff522b\6 Jul 10 04 44 17 PM\Item_b73790bc-fd55-478a-b29f-a624b40dc372\1 \\server\share6\Col_64e2a744-f6af-494d-9767-8155136534d4\15 Feb 10 06 42 15 PM\Item_83677379-cfd3-4037-9d0c-e394765c252a\1 Command line: C:/> copydirs "d:\" Result: all files and folders from the list above are copied to the d: drive and the source path is left intact (e.g., a directory is created in the desitnation path and all files and folders are copied recursively) The contents of \\server\share8\Col_3cf01b70-c413-4fba-bfd8-f4728c3db792\5 Aug 10 08 57 48 AM\Item_a54c4d15-324f-4ccb-a945-b7418193aed3\1 are copied to d:\server\share8\Col_3cf01b70-c413-4fba-bfd8-f4728c3db792\5 Aug 10 08 57 48 AM\Item_a54c4d15-324f-4ccb-a945-b7418193aed3\1 Something like this, but that works as described above for /f "delims=" %%i in ([login to view URL]) do xcopy "%%i" . /s Please advise with questions.

Hi, do put your stuff into a file called e.g. "[login to view URL]", then run this command: for /f/ "tokens=* delims= " %a in ([login to view URL]) do ( echo "%a" ) and be happy. You can modify the command in the () todo whatever you want... KR, Oliver
