There is a folder A. There are quite a few subfolders inside it. Can DOS complete the task of only copying all the files in folder A without including the subfolders (that is, excluding the subfolders)? If it can, how to do it? Thanks in advance!

copy A\*.* 2\
Should be okay```It won't copy the contents of subdirectories in directory A
Change the path yourself`

What is the 2\ at the end?
Actually, I want to copy all files inside subdirectory A. But I need to exclude the subfolders in A.
For example: There are subdirectories B, C, ..., F in A. I want to copy all files in B to F to G with just one command, and exclude subdirectories B, C, ..., F.

Just copy the folder directly. For example, copy A:\B G:
copy will exclude the subfolders in folder B
copy will exclude the subfolders in folder B

This only works if there are no subfolders in B. The problem is, when the directory tree is long, do we have to write out each path? That would be very cumbersome. Moreover, the number of subfolders in B can change. If we have to write the paths, it would be even more difficult.

Having a folder is also okay. For example, there is a test folder and a test.txt text file under folder B. Copying A:\b will only copy the test.txt text file. You should try it before asking questions.

I guess you still don't understand what I mean. It's not that I haven't tried, but that I have tried it long ago.
For example, there is a folder test and a text file test.txt under folder B. Can you copy A:\b and then copy all the files in B, excluding the folder test? The requirement is not to extend the path to the subfolder test.

You can use dir /a-d to find the path of COPY, excluding directories

Files and folders with filenames containing spaces were not handled.
Copy the files in the subfolders in the d:\a folder to e:\abc.
The general idea is like this, not tested....
@echo off
for /f %%i in ('dir/ad/b d:\a') call :lis %%i
goto :eof
:lis
for /r %1 %%j in (*.*) do xcopy/y/e %%j e:\abc\
goto :eof
