Question

I’m writing a batch script and need to copy the content of a certain folder to another folder.

For example I have the folder

source/
  file1.txt 
  file2.txt 
  file3.txt 

and I have files in a destination folder. How do I copy the contents of source into destination so the final destination would look like this

destination/
  existing1.txt
  existing2.txt
  file1.txt 
  file2.txt 
  file3.txt 

I tried xcopy but can’t quite get it right.

Answer 1

Just use wildcards:

xcopy source\*.* destination\*.*
