Hi,

I have a question. consider i am copying 100 images from one drive with same path to another drive.

copy /Y "d:\log\games\images\283.png" "c:\log\games\images\283.png" >> log.txt
copy /Y "d:\log\games\images\289.png" "c:\log\games\images\289.png" >> log.txt
copy /Y "d:\log\games\images\285.png" "c:\log\games\images\285.png" >> log.txt
copy /Y "d:\log\games\images\284.png" "c:\log\games\images\284.png" >> log.txt

this is just an example. i have thousands of images like this to move.

i just want the log to show me the path 'if image not found or any error
currently it is showing "The system cannot find the path specified."
i want it to display me which image it didn't copy or atleast the cmd it executed.

like if there is a failure on
copy /Y "d:\log\games\images\285.png" "c:\log\games\images\285.png" >> log.txt
i want it to echo me the command or line linked with it. is this possible with looping. or if you can suggest me a better way to copy.

Thanks in advance.

Better way:
copy /Y "d:\log\games\images\*.png" "c:\log\games\images\" >> log.txt

It will copy all png from d: to c: with same names...

If you want to create the folder if it doesn't exist you'll have to delve into batch files[^] to run :)

Or use xcopy, I vaguely remember there is an option to create non-existing folders during copying...

If this helps please take time to accept the solution. Thank you.
