Windows 10: XCOPY is not copying subfolders

XCOPY is not copying subfolders even though I am using the parameters /S /E.I'm also using /D to just update the data. I've tried using /C to ignore errors. And I've tried using ROBOCOPY but I can not get the subfolders copied.I've tried to contact HP, but they said it was a software issue, even though it the batch file worked on old Win7 machine and on other peoples Win10 machines.Sample command:xcopy "C:\Users\...\Documents\SystemFiles\" "D:\NewWork\SystemFiles\" /s /e /d /cROBOCOPY doesn't work either.Testing on folders without spaces was done as well.Caps were tested for the parameters.C

Using xcopy to extract&copy files from certain subfolders

I have some data that is systematically organised into multiple-level subfolders, and I would like to copy all files that reside under certain subfolders, which I would like to specify using regexp-like syntax.

From the Windows 10 command prompt, I tried variations of the following command:

Just to explain how I was using (perhaps incorrectly) the syntax of the command: the first * in the command indicates that I want to continue on to the next subfolder underneath, for all folders directly under the home Project folder. The *Sess1 indicates that I then want to only proceed deeper to those subfolders that end in "Sess1"; and so on...

I have tried both with copy and with xcopy, with various command flags/parameters such as /s, /i, etc; but each time I get error messages of this type:

Thanks for any help!

 

XCopy not working on Win10

Hi,

There is a thread on this topic but it doesn't show a resolution.

Has something changed where xcopy doesn't work on Win10?

I am looking to copy files and I can't get even the simpliest .bat file to work. Copying 1 file to another folder on the C directory.

@EchoOff xcopy C:\files\test.bat C:\files-to\

Any suggestions are appreciated!

thanks,

joan

 

xcopy copy set-up

Can someone provide me with the xcopy setup to copy all files from drive c:\ to a Seagate Backup Drive, e.g., I mean the flags /e /s etc.? I'm forgetful and can't remember how to us xcopy. Thanks!
