I've got a TEXT file with the full PATH and I want to copy all the symbolic links from a source folder to each folder in the text file. Text file is CALLED subs.txt looks like this:
C:\data\2653\arc2015
C:\data\8893\arc2015

the real text file will have around 30 or so of these entries. Here's what I've tried in several VARIATIONS:

for /f %%i in (subs.txt) DO xcopy "C:\forms\!SLinks\*.*" "%%i" /b /y

nothing happens, no errors messages or anything.

Thanks

use the following command from elevated command prompt:
xcopy /b /i <source symlink name> <destination symlink name> it will say that 0 File(s) copied but the symlink will appear in the destination. This is tested under Windows 7 and Windows 8.x but should work starting as of Vista
