   Batch file help....
  Anyone know how to go through a folder and it's sub-folders and copy across files of a certain type to another folder keeping the same folder structure but changing the name of the top directory.i have something like this, but it does not let me change to name os the folder to where the file should be copied, i want to copy to C:\data_temp folder...any ideas? for C:\data  %%X  in( .txt) do( copy %%X %%X )   
  xcopy /E \source\*.txt \destination   ;  Do you *have* to do it in batch?   ;  no, infact i find batch files a bit of pain. just want an easy scripting language that is flexiable. i will try the code suggested.   ;Quote:Original post by gameplayprogammerno, infact i find batch files a bit of pain. just want an easy scripting language that is flexiable. i will try the code suggested.VBScript or JScript are generally less of a headache, for future reference (both are available on the majority of installations of Windows). xcopy or robocopy are probably what you need here, though, as mentioned above. [smile]   ;  In Python, this kind of thing can be done fairly neatly with os.walk.
