files copy from network fs 1

[inunix]

I need to copy all txt files from a dir and it's subdirectories to my local disk.

How can i do that...?

say i've a folder call "aaa";
underneath there are lot of subfolders, each subfolder have 'n' number of files(including one txt file). I need to transfer only the txt file from all the subfolders of "aaa" to my local disk.

Assuming your text files all have same extension (eg, .txt), and all have different names, you could use xcopy (run xcopy /? at command prompt for parameters - there are a number of xcopy experts on these forums, so one may give you exact syntax). Or find xxcopy (freeware, with more options than xcopy) on the net.

If some duplicate filenames in the subfolders, you'll need a more programmed approach (eg, use a for statement) - again there are a number of experts in this here too.

If you need a more detailed replay and get none here, try the 2k & XP forums (more people use them, and commands similar to NT)

In this instance, the DOS XCOPY syntax would be (assuming your files were on D: and you wanted to copy them to C :-

D:\AAA:>xcopy *.txt C:\AAA\*.* /s

This will copy all txt files from D: to C: and place them in the same directory structure.
