batch file - switch xcopy to robocopy -


i using following script. when swap out "move" "robocopy /mov /mt" doesn't work. destination goes 1 level deep , takes name of file destination folder. error below too.

how can use robocopy instead? need multithreading.

error= error 123 (0x0000007b) accessing source directory d:\source\file.tif\ filename, directory name, or volume label syntax incorrect.

@echo off  setlocal enabledelayedexpansion  set source=d:\source set destination=d:\dest  echo gather top 30 files set srccount=0 set srcmax=31 /f "tokens=*" %%a in ('dir /a-d /o-d /b "%source%"\*.*') (     set /a srccount += 1     if !srccount! leq %srcmax% ( move "%source%\%%a" "%destination%   ) ) 

this trying:

@echo off  setlocal enabledelayedexpansion  set source=d:\source set destination=d:\dest  echo gather top 30 files set srccount=0 set srcmax=31 /f "tokens=*" %%a in ('dir /a-d /o-d /b "%source%"\*.*') (     set /a srccount += 1     if !srccount! leq %srcmax% ( robocopy /mov /mt "%source%\%%a" "%destination%   ) ) 

look @ arguments robocopy:

robocopy /?

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------    robocopy     ::     robust file copy windows -------------------------------------------------------------------------------    started : wed jun 01 18:46:40 2016                usage :: robocopy source destination [file [file]...] [options]               source :: source directory (drive:\path or \\server\share\path).         destination :: destination dir  (drive:\path or \\server\share\path).                file :: file(s) copy  (names/wildcards: default "*.*"). 

the first argument source directory, not file. passing file name.

so, instead:

robocopy /mov /mt "%source%" "%destination%" "%%a" 

as /mt option, think threads used copy different files, not different parts of same file.

since call 1 file @ time, don't believe you'll multi-threaded copying.

you'll need gather 30 file names in single string result after substitution single execution of robocopy this:

robocopy /mov /mt "sourcedir" "destdir" "file1" "file2" "file3" ... "file30"
