Seeks help on Xcopy muahaah

[Havek]

Hi ther friendly geek here. I have used xcopy and im fairly familar with dos commands, but for some reason I cant get xcopy or a batch file to really do what I want. Here is what I want to do. I want to copy the all my *.tif files from a dir that has subfolders. Sounds easy aye??? Also I just want to copy the files not the subfolders..

IE

Xcopy c:\mytif*.tif /s e:\ ( currently copies subfolders )

In the folder mytif I have X amounts of sub folder over 4,000 tifs. I could use the search function on 2000,,but when I do and hit copy or cut PC here at work goes slower than dirt..

Thanks for the help in advance

Could try freeware xxcopy (this page

http://www.xxcopy.com/xxcopy16.htm

seems to cover your requirement).

Try this:

for /R c:\mytif %%G in (*.tif) DO xcopy "%%G" e:\ /y

Caution: The /y parameter does an automatic overwrite so if you have duplicate filenames the last file copied wins.
