copy files
in [Shell]
|
From: rvaede on 25 May 2010 17:48 I have a main subdirectory and a bunch of subdirectories. I wanted to copy files from all the subdirectories that start with 2009* as the file name to another location. I wanted to also create the directories in the destination location. Example: Source MainDirectory directory1 (has 2009* and 2010* files) directory2 (has 2009* and 2010* files) directory3 (has 2009* and 2010* files) directory4 (has 2009* and 2010* files) directory5 (has 2009* and 2010* files) Destination Directory1 (includes 2009* files) Directory2 (includes 2009* files) Directory3 (includes 2009* files) Directory4 (includes 2009* files) Directory5 (includes 2009* files)
