robocopy files but exclude files in root

Hello,

I want to copy this directory, but exclude the files in root (a,b,c):

[table][tr][td]Source:c:\src\test\ - a.txt - b.txt - c.txt - sub1\ - d.txt - sub2\ - e.txt[/td][td]Destination:c:\dest\test\ - sub1\ - d.txt - sub2\ - e.txt[/td][/tr][/table]
I tried:

- robocopy c:\src\test c:\dest\test /s /xd c:\src\test => a,b,c are copied

- robocopy c:\src\test c:\dest\test /s /xd test => a,b,c are copied

- robocopy c:\src\test c:\dest\test /s /xd . => a,b,c are copied

- robocopy c:\src\test c:\dest\test /s /xd .. => a,b,c are copied

- robocopy c:\src\test c:\dest\test /s /xf c:\src\test\*.txt => Invalid parameter #5

I want to avoid a call for every \subX\ (robocopy c:\src\test\sub1 c:\dest\test\sub1 /s ...)

And I don't want to put robocopy inside a for loop to copy the subs or delete the files in a second step.

Is this possible anyhow?

 

Copying Windows 10 to new SSD from existing HDD while upgrading to SSD from HDD.

Hi,

I'm thinking about updating my 2 years old laptop from HDD to SSD. Since my HDD is still in working condition, I plan to use it as an external HDD. I have a pre-installed Windows 10 Home on my laptop.
Is it possible for me to transfer it to the new SSD while upgrading? If then please tell me the steps to follow.

Thanks and Regards,

Arjun.

 

Robocopy element fail's in Robocopy but works fine in Copy command.

Hi, DennisCPA. I'm Robinson, and I’m happy to help you today.

You are using the "~*.T*" in the /XF which means that you are excluding all file types that begin with T from the copy.

/xf <filename>[ ...]Excludes files that match the specified names or paths. Wildcard characters (* and ?) are supported.

You can see more information about the robocopy command at this link.

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-serve...

Replacing the *.* with the *.T* should work for you, doing this you will filter the files that you want to copy when listing the files to copy

Robocopy "C:\Users\Name\Documents\Tax Data" "F:\Tax Data" *.T* /XF *.txt /E /XO /COPYAT /R:2 /W:30 /Z /MAXAGE:360 /NJH /NJS /XX
