The output folder and the projects folder are at the same level. Inside the projects folder there are multiple project folders . Each project folder has a bin folder and an obj folder, and inside the bin folder and obj folder there are debug and release folders. Now I want to copy the contents of the debug folder inside the bin folder into output, but not the ones in obj. Also, because project2 also has a file called project1.dll, I need to skip that file. This batch file is too hard for me. Please give me a hand.

It should be copying the *.dll and *.xml files from the debug folder inside the bin folder into the output folder

Do you mean this?
@echo off set SrcDir=C:\test\projects set DstDir=C:\test\output for /f "tokens=*" %%a in ('dir /s /b /a-d "%SrcDir%"^|findstr /i "\\bin\\"') do ( echo n|copy /-y "%%a" "%DstDir%" )

Uh, the requirements changed.

Thank you so much................................

But I still have one more question. Right now project2 comes after project1. If project2 comes before project1, then the dll inside project1 won't overwrite project2's, right? What I mean is, the one coming out of the project1 folder, and then the ones from other folders, should not overwrite it. Can this be done? Sorry to trouble HATle again

These dll names are definitely the project names,

The results of dir should be sorted in ascending order by default, so project1 is automatically placed before project2.
echo n is exactly so the later ones won't overwrite the earlier ones.

Uh... the problem is, project1 may not be called project1... I'm just writing it like this for convenience. It could be wpfproject, and project2 could be sileverlightproejct....

Strings are sorted according to ASCII codes
wpfproject will come after sileverlightproejct
Do you mean you want wpfproject to come before sileverlightproejct?

Uh... let me put it this way. It's still the same file structure as above, except that the debug folder under project1 has project2.dll
project1
--bin
--debug
project1.dll
project1.xml
project2.dll
--project2
--bin
--debug
project2.dll
project2.xml
What I mean is, when copying, the contents of the debug folder under project1 will definitely be copied first, so then output will have project2.dll, and when project2 gets copied later, it won't overwrite project2.dll. But what I need is for project2.dll inside project2 to overwrite the project2.dll in output. Because project2.dll is produced by the project2 folder. I don't know if you understand what I mean~。~ Thanks again for your help. Thank you

Still thanking you................
