Robocopy from list.txt

  • 772

I have a ton of user directories, that I need to move along with permissions to another location, the command I use on an individual basis is :

robocopy "\filer\home" "h:\UserHome" /E /SEC /Copy:DATSOU /log:c:\logfile.txt

Is there a way that robocopy can point to a list of directories in a test file, that need to be moved, instead of doing it one by one which is the way im currently doing.

  1. Create a file named directories.txt:

    C:\dir1
C:\dir2
C:\dir3
C:\dir4\subdir

    Then write a Powershell script named RobocopyDirsFromList.ps1:

    Foreach ($Directory In Get-Content .\directories.txt)
{
    robocopy "$Directory" "h:\UserHome" /E /SEC /Copy:DATSOU /log:c:\logfile.txt 
}

    Note: I've not tested this, please test first.

  2. You need to create folder list file

    copy this script and save as BAT/CMD file:

    for /f "tokens=*" %%a in (list.txt) do robocopy "%_source%\%%a" "%_dest%\%%a" /E /SEC /Copy:DATSOU /log:c:\logfile.txt
