[user-defined command] Copying multiple items to a location

[smahesh555]

Hi,

As part of my work, I require to copy few files from a particular directory to another directory frequently. I recently discovered the feature of 'user-defined' commands for this. However I face a problem something as below:

Say I need to copy only two particular files from D:\temp\1 to D:\temp\2.

In the source field of the 'Manage User-define commands' window, I tried the following inputs in the source input field:

D:\temp\1\abc.txt,D:\temp\1\def.txt
D:\temp\1\abc.txt;D:\temp\1\def.txt
"D:\temp\1\abc.txt","D:\temp\1\def.txt"
"D:\temp\1\abc.txt","D:\temp\1\def.txt"

But none seem to work.

- I could write d:\temp\*.txt, but this copies all files including ones I do not want as well
- If this is not supported, please consider it as a wish and let know if possible to provide
- If there is some way to do this already, please let me know the solution and move this post to 'Bug Report'

You need to use pipe, "|" to sepreate multiple source files. Here's a UDC setting screenshot that should do exactly what you need:
