Copy subdirectories with the same name in windows 10

Question

On my Windows machine, S drive, under the OF folder I have the following structure :

S://OF
├── FolderA
│   ��── FolderA1
│        └── FolderA2
│           └── FolderX
|                 └── myFolder  
│   
│             
├── FolderB
│   └── FolderB1
│        └── FolderB2
|              └── FolderX
|                    └── myFolder
│                
│             
├── FolderC
│   └── FolderC1
│        └── FolderC2
               └── FolderX
                     └── myFolder

I would like to copy all of the myFolder directories into a new directory (AH) on my R drive

R://AH
├── myFolder1
├── myFolder2   
├── myFolder3  

I have tried the following but with no success!

For /D %G In ("OF\*") Do @%__AppDir__%Robocopy.exe "%G\myFolder" ".Destination\%~nxG_myFolder">NUL

This should do it for you, it traverses the folder tree using dir, when it finds a match creates the folder.

If you want to copy over or move the contents as well, replace md with any of xcopy or copy or robocopy depending on what you want to do.

@echo off

setlocal enabledelayedexpansion
set "_pattern=MyFolder"

rem change this line to the fully qualified root of the tree where where your targets are:
set "_path=S drive path"

rem change this line to the fully qualified new location they will be copied to:
set "_newroot=R drive path"

rem loop through the tree where your the folders are:
for /f "delims="  %%i in ('dir "%_path%" /b /ad /s') DO (

  rem this is what you will compare to:
  @set "_foundpath=%%i"
  
  rem extract the last 'n' characters of the path found:
  call set _compareto=!_foundpath:~-8!

  rem if the folder pattern matches, perform the action:
  IF !_compareto!@ equ %_pattern%@ (
    set /a _cnt+=1
    rem  remove the echo in this line to make the directory:
    echo md %_newroot%\%_pattern%!_cnt!
  )
)
endlocal
exit /b
