xcopy only copy subdirectories with their contents

Question

As the title says...

An example: I have these files & dirs:

c:\file.txt
c:\a\somefile.txt
c:\b\anotherfile.txt

And with some magic I want this structure on the destination:

d:\a\somefile.txt
d:\b\anotherfile.txt

Can this be done with xcopy?

Answer 1

Yes:

C:\> FOR /D %d in (*) DO xcopy /S /I %d d:\%d

• /D : Just directories
• /S : Copy subdirectories
• /I : Targets are directory (not file)
