select/search multiple files, copy and paste to a new folder

Thanks for the script! Can you adjust it so, it will only search for 2 file extensions: .sldprt and .slddrw

I have a folder with 30000 drawings named (examples):
123.sldprt
123.slddrw
1234.sldprt
1234.slddrw

so it would help if i only put this in the text file:
123
1234

(I know this is an old post)

is there any way to run this without administrator?

Is there any other way to do it? i mean with out running any codes?

This isn't working for me. I followed all the instructions but I probably missed something. I right click and run as admin right?

Can i use this for copying jpg files.... tried a lot, but was not working

That is an easy task for a batch file, if your list of 1000 files names can be saved in a txt file with every file name on separate line. Something like this:

Code:

Report_23.docx
Presentation45.ppt
Diagram_67.xls

Then save this list to txt file; rename it to list.txt and put in your folder of 5000 files.

Download and extract a script in attachment. Start that script "ZZZZ_script.bat" AS ADMINISTRATOR , in the same folder of 5000 files. It will open your list.txt file(which should be there already) and will start searching for files and making copies to C:\your_files folder, which is predefined in that script.

AR_sister_76475.xls

My list will contail like:

father
mother
sister



can you please modify the batch for me pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Hi Alex,

Is this batch file (attached) what you were after?

Define your list inside the batch file rather than having a separate .txt file hold your list of words.

Brilliant , thanks Neutron16. I started with a list of 350 .MOV files that I needed to retrieve from amongst ~10000 video and image files spread over hundreds of sub-directories. The script took almost an hour to finish but it worked perfectly.
It has inspired me to put some time into learning some of these command line super powers.

Awesome and ive tried to modified the destination and excellent
