I want to copy the contents of one folder to another folder, and pause after each file is copied. How can this be done with a batch file? (HAT already solved)

One more question: if I use the xcopy command, how can I pause after each folder is copied? I'm sincerely asking for advice, experts please help

Oh, thanks. So it turns out do( can be split across lines after it!!!) I really need to study the for command properly

One more question: why can't xcopy copy folders? In other words, how should the variable for folders under c:\test\aaa\ be set?

First take a look at xcopy's help
xcopy /?

xcopy source destination /E really can copy folders, but it won't pause. Is there any other parameter?

@echo off
for /f "delims=" %%a in ('dir/b/ad d:\test') do (
echo d| xcopy "d:\test\%%a" "c:\test\%%a" /e /s
pause
)

Done, if there are still problems please advise!
