[CMD] Move all non-links

[Zxian]

I've got another small batch file job that I'm hoping people can help me out with.

I'm trying to create a batch file that will take all the non-links from the desktop and move them to a folder, including directories.

This is what I've got so far...

@echo off&setlocal enableextensions

set src=C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Desktop
set dest=C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\My Documents\Desktop

pushd %src%

for /f "tokens=*" %%a in ('dir/b/a') do (
    IF /I %%~xa NEQ .lnk (
	robocopy %%a %dest% /S /MOVE>nul
    )
)
popd&endlocal&goto :eof

When I run this... nothing happens...

Any ideas/suggestions would be appreciated.

You can just use the exclude option in robocopy, for example:

@echo off

set src=C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Desktop
set dest=C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\My Documents\Desktop

robocopy "%src%" "%dest%" /copyall /mov /xf *.lnk /r:30 /w:10>nul

goto :eof

<Edit>

Replaced my test dirs with your %src% and %dest%

That would probably work...

I'll test it out tomorrow. Thanks!

robocopy = this?

[Zxian]

Yup... it's included by default in XP, but not in 2K.

[prathapml]

what's included in XP?

'robocopy' is not recognized as an internal or external command,

operable program or batch file.

Wierd... I've got it on my laptop and I haven't installed any extra packs...

Maybe it's XP Pro?
