Is it possible to copy a set of files, but automatically skip if file already exists?
- by awe
I know that the copy command has an option to automatically replace a file if it already exists, but I want to know if it is a way to copy the files only if they not already exist (/Y). I do not know the actual file names in the batch code, as I copy from the source using wildcards in the copy command:
copy *.zip c:\destination
The reason I want this instead of automatic overwrite is that the files are large, and to skip existing would save a lot of execution time.
