XCOPY /Exclude Directory Syntax
- by Onion-Knight
I'm trying to use XCOPY to copy a directory that looks like this:
-MainFolder
-ManyFoldersIWantToCopy
-ManyFoldersIWantToCopy
-...
-Source Code
I want to use the /EXCLUDE option to copy every folder except Source Code.
I tried using the following, but I did not have any luck:
xcopy "Source" "Destination" /EXCLUDE:"\Source Code\" /E /C /R /I /K /Y
The error message I receive says: Can't read file: "\Source Code\".
I've tried removing the double-quotes all together, using single-quotes instead, with/without the \'s, but I get the same error message.
Any ideas?
