Robocopy script

[repacker]

Hi,

 

I'm searching for a script to delete all files and folders from drive D: but at the same time I'd like to to exclude a few folders and files!

A was looking at Robocopy. Here is my testscript:

 

***************

mkdir C:\DELETE

robocopy "D:\" "D:\DELETE" /E /MOV /NP /XD "Dir 1" "Dir 20 00" "Dir3" /XF "File 1.dll" "File 2 0 .txt" /R:10 /W:30

rmdir "c:\DELETE" /s /Q

*************

 

It creates a directory > copies everything (except the excluded folders and files) to that directory and than it deletes the directory....but

 

It gives back this message:

 

ERROR: Invalid Parameter #4 : "00 Dir3 /XF File"

 

What is the right command line string?

 

Best regards

can you provide the full path for the file 1.dll after /XF ? something like /XF C:\eskonr\test.txt OR /XF C:\eskonr\test\test.txt

Hi Eswar,

 

Thank you for the reply, I'd tried the full path option, with and without quotes but that doesn't work.

I made one step; I decided to test with only one directory and one file and found that the syntasource directory was not correct

 

mkdir C:\DELETE

robocopy "D:\" "D:\DELETE" /E /MOV /NP /XD "Dir 1" "Dir 20 00" "Dir3" /XF "File 1.dll" "File 2 0 .txt" /R:10 /W:30

rmdir "c:\DELETE" /s /Q

 

robocopy "D:\" must be robocopy "D:", now its moving the directories and files to the DELETE directorie. but the script stops because it cannot copy the hidden 'System Volume Informatuion" directory.
