Hi all,

I'm trying to use batch file as command to move file from current folder to another folder. From what I search in Internet, I've found a way to move all file in folder or all same extension in a folder. But I'm not found the way to move anything in folder but with exception file.

For example, let's say in a folder, I have 20 *.txt file, 15 *.dll file, 30 *.pdf file, 2 *.exe file and 1 *.ini file..so I have an options to:

move D:\MyFolder\*

OR

move D:\MyFolder\*.txt
move D:\MyFolder\*.dll
move D:\MyFolder\*.pdf
move D:\MyFolder\*.exe

Case here is I want to use move D:\MyFolder\* but I don't want to move the .ini file which means it will move all the content except *.ini file. Could someone tell me how to complete this?

Do you really mean DOS? MS-DOS, PC-DOS? :-)

This is a combination of FOR loop with IF.

You can use wildcards (regex patters etc) to move particular files.
