Move folders with specific files in to another location

[Poenika007]

I have a harddisk with more than 900 folders with files in.
265 folders contains BMP files together with other files.

I want to move the 265 folders with the BMP files complete to a other location on an other harddisk.

How can i automatic mark the 265 folders for move.


Do i need a script or a batchfile ?

Or can this be done easy in Totalcommander ?

Assuming that you only have BMP files in that directories, you can do the following:

• Install a packer plugin like CopyTree or TreeCopyPlus
• Search for the files and feed them to the listbox
• Mark the files and "pack" them using the plugin. The plugin will copy the files including their directory structure.

At the moment, I don't have an idea for the case that there're other files than just BMPs in the directories...

if you only need to copy the bmp files with folder, you can:
(1)use a filter *.bmp
(2)select branch view from where you want to copy the tree
(3)select all files
(4)copy to target selecting "keep relative path"

If you also need additional files, you will have to decide if you copy also subfolder or not, hidden files .....
After you can use a tcbl if you do not need unicode ! a non optimal sample could be:

Code: Select all

command:<path to>\tcbl.exe
parameters:-ep %L robocopy $p <NEW Drive>:$p!  /XC
