Solve : XCOPY - How to avoid the "FILE or Directory" messa?

1.	Solve : XCOPY - How to avoid the "FILE or Directory" messa?
Answer» I've been USING XCOPY forever and never figured out how to avoid the nasty message: Does C:\NewPlace\Data.txt specify a file name or a directory name on the target (F = File, D = Directory) Is there a way of saying up FRONT that it is a file - so if SOMEONE other than me is running the batch file they don't get prompted with what they consider a meaningless question. I LOOKED at all the XCOPY OPTIONS and didn't see anything that would help. I am running XCOPY from the following .BAT file. Thanx in advance! Angelo Code: [Select]@echo off for /F "tokens=1,2*" %%i in (H:\AppDevCtr\DistAppl\DataFile.txt) do xcopy %%i %%j /y /q /k echo You are done! ------------ but we have to get rid of that nagging file or directory message pause exit: This was answered in your other post. Please don't double post as it confuses the natives.
