Solve : copy files from csv list?

Answer» HOLA,
All I need to do is copy files with one or another extension, from many many different sub- directories in a root directory, to an OUTPUT directory.
The list will be of the sub-directories to look in (I don't want files from all of the sub-directories)
Any help appreciated.

TimI'm not exactly sure what you mean, but this should GET you started
I'll assume your "files with one or another extension" are GIVEN in a batch file variable
I'll assume your "output directory" is given in a batch file variable
I'll assume your CSV file list is named dirs.csv

Code: [Select]@echo off
setlocal
set fileExtensions=.doc .xls
set outputDir=D:\output
for /f "delims=," %%a in (dirs.csv) do call :CopyFiles %%a
goto :EOF

:CopyFiles
for %%b in (%fileExtensions%) do xcopy "%*\*.%%b" "%outputDir%\"
goto :EOF
