Copying files from one folder to another using batch - batch-file

Question

I'm trying to copy some files from one directory to two other directories, using batch.
First i'm making 3 directories and after that, i want to copy the following files to backup1 and backup2.
The files are named 010101.txt - 300101.txt (To backup1) and 010102.txt - 300102.txt (backup2).
mkdir backup1
mkdir backup2
mkdir backup3
copy 1.txt C:\User\Test\Backup1
copy 2.txt C:\User\Test\Backup2
I guess i have to use wildcard somehow, but if i write ?????1.txt and ?????2.txt i get an syntex error.

Answer 1

Try this out:
#echo off
setlocal enabledelayedexpansion
cd /d "C:\Temp\copytest"
set "b1=C:\Temp\Backup1"
set "b2=C:\Temp\Backup2"
for /l %%a in (1,1,300102) do (
set num=%%a
if %%a GTR 10000 if %%a LSS 100000 set num=0%%a
if !num:~-1! EQU 1 (
if exist !num!.txt echo copy !num!.txt %b1%
) ELSE (
if !num:~-1! EQU 2 (
if exist !num!.txt echo copy !num!.txt %b2%
)
)
)
Change paths where applicable. Remove the echos after verifying the output is correct to do the actual copy.
Edit: Simpler way
Copy *1.txt "C:\User\Test\Backup1"
Copy *2.txt "C:\User\Test\Backup2"

Answer 2

#ECHO OFF
SETLOCAL
SET "sourcedir=."
FOR %%b IN (1 2) DO (
FOR /f "delims=" %%a IN (
'dir /b /a-d "%sourcedir%\*.txt" ^| find /i "%%b.txt" '
) DO (
XCOPY "%sourcedir%\%%a" "c:\user\test\backup%%b\" >nul
)
)
GOTO :EOF
I've assumed you want all files in the directory that contain 1.txt to be copied to ...\backup1 and those that contain 2.txt to ...\backup2.
I used my current directory for testing. You'd need to change the value assigned to 'sourcedir' to suit yourself.
Note that the xcopy will create the destination directory if necessary.
