China DOS Union

Little brother wants to copy all folders and subfolders under a certain folder, but not copy the files inside the folders (except for jpg and gif image formats). How to write this? Thank you!
If there are no jpg or gif files in a certain folder? Then do we still need to copy that folder? Yes.

That makes sense. Why didn't I think of that... First copy all the files and folders. Then delete the files that are not JPG or GIF.

The original poster said: "Don't just give me a Chinese explanation, and don't just give me a short piece of code and let me figure it out by myself. If that's the case, replies are declined"... I'm wondering if I should reply to you. But having a Chinese explanation is better than nothing, right?

robocopy Log log2 /mir /zb /xf *.*

Just copy using robocopy while ignoring all files

C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator>xcopy /?
Copies files and directory trees.

XCOPY source ] ]


...]

source Specifies the file(s) to copy.
destination Specifies the location and/or name of new files.
/A Copies only files with the archive attribute set,
but doesn't change the attribute.
/M Copies only files with the archive attribute set,
and clears the archive attribute.
/D:m-d-y Copies files changed on or after the specified date.
If no date is given, copies only those files whose source
time is newer than the destination time.
/EXCLUDE:file1...
Specifies a list of files containing strings. Each string
must be in a separate line in the file. If any string matches
the full path of the file to be copied, that file will not be copied.
For example, specifying a string like \obj\ or .obj will exclude
all files under directory obj or files with the .obj extension.
/P Prompts for creating each destination file.
/S Copies directories and subdirectories except empty ones.
/E Copies directories and subdirectories including empty ones.
Same as /S /E. Can be used to modify /T.
/V Verifies each new file.
/W Prompts you to press a key before copying.
/C Continues copying even if errors occur.
/I If destination does not exist and copying more than one file,
assumes that destination is a directory.
/Q Does not display file names while copying.
/F Displays full source and destination file names while copying.
/L Displays files to be copied.
/G Allows copying unencrypted files to destinations that do not support encryption.
/H Copies hidden and system files also.
/R Overwrites read-only files.
/T Creates directory structure but does not copy files.
Does not include empty directories or subdirectories. /T /E includes
empty directories and subdirectories.
/U Copies only files that already exist in destination.
/K Copies attributes. Normal Xcopy resets read-only attributes.
/N Copies using generated short names.
/O Copies file ownership and ACL information.
/X Copies file auditing settings (implies /O).
/Y Copies file auditing settings (implies /O).
Existing destination files.
/-Y Causes prompting to confirm rewriting an
existing destination file.
/Z Copies network files in restartable mode.

The command-line switch /Y may be preset in the COPYCMD environment variable.
This may be overridden with /-Y on the command line.

Try XCOPY /T to create directory structure

People have all said: no Chinese explanations, and no trying to figure it out by himself. Brother yishanju, just post a complete code segment.

It's not that I don't want to find a way, but that I'm already trying to find a way. Because the source file is very large, there are hundreds of gigabytes of files. The picture files alone that need to be copied might exceed a gigabyte. Copying all and then deleting, this kind of reply is obviously irresponsible without considering the poster's mood. But I'm grateful for everyone's enthusiastic replies. Thanks! I've already made three batch files by myself, and then used call to call them to achieve the goal. Thanks again!

The complete code of this post is as follows, and it has been tested!
@echo off ::The target folder name is temp set wjj=temp ::Copy folders and subfolders for /f "delims=" %%a in ('dir/b/s/ad') do ( if not exist "%wjj%\" md "%wjj%" set "var=%%a" setlocal enabledelayedexpansion set var=!var:*%cd%=! md "%wjj%!var!" endlocal ) ::Copy jpg and gif files for /f "delims=" %%a in ('dir/b/s/a-d *.jpg *.gif') do ( set "var=%%a" setlocal enabledelayedexpansion set var=!var:*%cd%=! copy /y "%%a" "%wjj%!var!" endlocal ) pause
Thanks to Suifeng from the batch processing forum.

1, Create the same folder.
2, Copy the image file.
Reasonable.

Hey, it's a pity that the original poster's system doesn't have XCOPY!

If that's the case, then it's the "copy first and then delete" in the "2nd floor"

The code on the 9th floor, after md, you can immediately copy *.jpg... &copy *.gif... and omit the subsequent for. It should be more efficient.

It's not that I don't want to find a way, but that I'm already trying to find a way. Because the source file is very large, there are hundreds of gigabytes of files. The image files alone may exceed a gigabyte. Copying all and then deleting, and then posting back, is obviously an irresponsible reply without considering the mood of the person who posted it.

Why didn't you state at the top that the source file is very large? Isn't this a waste of other people's time? You always feel that others' replies are irresponsible, why don't you think about whether your own way of asking questions is responsible? Have you considered the mood of the person who is helping you solve the problem?

What did you conclude that the owner's system doesn't have XCOPY from?
