Dude, please chill out and stop creating new threads and double-posting, ok?

You didn't read the helpfile...

In the case of copyto and moveto, the source(s) may contain wildcards, for example:

copyto "D:\Backup\XY files\<date yyyy-mm-dd>", "<xydata>\*.ini|<xydata>\*.dat"

Copies all *.ini and *dat file from the XYplorer data path to D:\Backup\XY files\2008-04-22\ (if that's the date today).

Note that backupto, however, does not support wildcards!

Yes, yes, yes *sigh*

Code: Select all

Note that backupto, however, does not support wildcards!

so

Code: Select all

backupto "D:\", "C:\*.txt", 2

won't copy anything BECAUSE BACKUPTO DOES NOT SUPPORT WILDCARDS.

sooorrryyy!!

i dont understand....but wildcards is not this?? |
"<xydata>\*.ini|<xydata>\*.dat"

for including 2 different file ext???


Edit: Sorry, I was wrong. wildcards is *
ok!

[swan_x]

ok! if you have understood, You can not post the correct script????

[swan_x]

if i write
copyto "D:\", "C:\*.txt", 2

i have one copy C: folder in D: but in folder C: is empty!

[swan_x]

is incredible!
so many people here but no one answers to get a simple thing, copy 2 file with same ext from from one folder to another!

[highend]

Because it's so simple that you can do it yourself. Everything that's needed is in the helpfile!

Code: Select all

backupto location, [source], [on_collision], [preserve_dates], [create_log], [pop_stats], [skip_junctions], [verify], [show_progress]

and later on, what can be used for multiple files?

Code: Select all

You can also use multiple sources by using pipe ( | ) as separator, for example:

backupto "D:\Backup\XY folders\<date yyyy-mm-dd>", "<xydata>\Scripts|<xydata>\FindTemplates"

So what's so hard that you can't fill in a few parameters that are all explained there?

Code: Select all

backupto "D:\", "C:\555.txt|C:\666.txt", 2;
