Question

so I have a few excel sheets that contain directories all stemming from a single root directory. Is there anyway to have robocopy (or similar program) read the excel sheet as input to only copy over the selected files?

This is the format of the spreadsheets:

I would like to copy these files to another filesystem with the same structure (For Example, if the image originates from C:\Apps\Test\Site\NMMC\c6\31b5ac6c-1377-4a86-90a0-73c6335907e3.IMG then I need it to copy to Z:\Apps\FileSystem\NMMC\c6\31b5ac6c-1377-4a86-90a0-73c6335907e3.IMG

Is this possible to do?

Thanks

Ok, I think I pretty much have it. Here’s the command prompt script that I’m running:

for /f "delims=, tokens=1,2,3" %i in ( D:\foo.csv ) do xcopy /i /y "Z:\%i\%j\%k" "D:\%i\%j\%k"

This is doing exactly what I want, however for each file it tries to copy a prompt appears asking me if it’s a file or a directory. Is there anyway to tell xcopy that they’re ALL files? I thought that’s what /i did, but that doesn’t seem to suppress the prompts.
