- COPYTO.BAT September 1993 Tyler Abbott
- MCOPY.BAT Page 293
- ----------------------------------------------------------------
- Purpose: Used in batch files, COPYTO, and MCOPY will help you
- move several files to the same directory without
- having to continually enter the directory to copy
- the file to, and will let you set up programs to run
- on specific days of the week.
-
- Syntax: COPYTO
- MCOPY
-
- COPYTO
- Remarks: DOS lacks an easy way to copy several files to the
- same location at once. Use the example batch file
- below to copy as many files as you want into one
- directory.
-
- @ECHO OFF
- SET DESTDIR=%1
- :START
- SHIFT
- IF "%1" == "" GOTO END
- COPY %1 %DESTDIR%
- GOTO START
- :END
-
- MCOPY To run the program, type COPYTO followed by the
- Remarks: destination directory and the list of files you
- want to copy. For example, the command line
-
- COPYTO C:\TEMP *.BAK DELETE.DOC EXTRA.WP
-
- copies all BAK files, DELETE.DOC, and EXTRA.WP
- to the TEMP directory on C:.
-
- Syntax: MCOPY
-
- To avoid COPYTO's backward destination-first
- syntax, create this batch file (called MCOPY)
- that lets you copy using a more familiar DOS
- syntax.
-
- @ECHO OFF
- SET COPYLIST=
- :START
- IF "%2" == "" GOTO END
- SET COPYLILST=%COPYLIST% %1
- SHIFT
- GOTO START
- :END
- SET DESTINATION=%1
- COPYTO %DESTINATION% %COPYLIST%
-
- To use the batch file program, type MCOPY
- followed by the files you want to copy and the
- destination directory. For example, the following
- command copies the same files as the COPYTO command
- line above:
-
- MCOPY *.BAK DELETE.DOC EXTRA.WP C:\TEMP
-
