Solved Having Problem with xcopy Command ???

[BuckSkin]

On several occasions, I have successfully followed the instructions provided here:

How to copy an entire folder structure without copying the files (tip for starting the new financial year) | Cameron Dwyer | Office 365, SharePoint, Outlook, OnePlace Solutions

In fact, I did the exact same command yesterday and the only thing I changed tonight was one drive letter.

When I first discovered the article, I copied the command straight off the web-page and pasted it in Notepad; then, on the same notepad page, I made a duplicate paste of the command.
I edit this second copy to suit my needs; then, copy/paste it into the Command Line.

It has always worked up until tonight; now, I get an error "invalid number of parameters"

I have checked and double-checked and I cannot see anywhere I could have erred from the path, so to speak.

In fact, as I already said, for tonight's attempt, I only changed a single drive letter.

My navigation paths are both a lot shorter than the examples in the article.

It worked yesterday, it just will not work tonight.

My command looks perfect in the Command Line; what could I possibly be doing wrong ?

Thanks for reading and all help is appreciated.


>>>Edit:>>> I kept messing with it; did a bit of wasted Google-searching; and, I honestly don't know what I did, as I entered the path exactly as I had been and it just decided to work.
According to what I found in my search, that error is very common and nobody really seems to have a solution.

Yes, that is strange, That can sometimes happen if a quote is missing. There is no accounting for computers!
