Copy several files listed in a text file to a new folder when list file contain different paths

Question

I would like to copy several files (with different paths) in one folder. I tried this solution explained here page of example on stackexchange but when I run the file (I choosed .bat file) I have "0 file copied" like that: screen capture 0 file copied

here is some example of my list.txt :

T:/audio/enregistrements/2023-03-mars/maroc_2023/msd1/test.txt
T:/audio/enregistrements/2023-03-mars/maroc_2023/msd6/20230324_0454_0627_ailes oiseau et cris oiseau indetermine cala iris sentier maroc_35.1287,-4.3661_MKH8020_AB_230324_014.WAV

my script.bat is into T:\audio\enregistrements\2023-03-mars\maroc_2023\ folder. It contains that :

@echo off
for /f "tokens=* delims=" %%a in ('type "T:\audio\enregistrements\2023-03-mars\maroc_2023\list.txt"') do xcopy /hrkvy "%%a" "T:\audio\creation_sonore\projet maroc\complement"
pause

I'm sure folder T:\audio\creation_sonore\projet maroc\complement exist.But there is also nothing in "complement" folder..

what could be the problem please ? Thanks

Answer 1

In fact I asked to chatgpt, it solved my problem. I post here the solution with powershell :

Here is the PowerShell script to use to copy a list of files to a directory:

Get-Content "path\to\file\list.txt" | ForEach-Object {Copy-Item $_ -Destination "path\to\destination\directory"}

Make sure to replace "path\to\file\list.txt" with the full path to the text file containing the list of files to copy, and "path\to\destination\directory" with the full path to the destination directory where you want to copy the files.

It works very well :)
