Peter I use something simular
xcopy d:\aaadir\*.log e:\bbbdir /idechk
This will create the same directory layout as the orginal source but only
copy log files to the target location that are newer than the destination files.

Then do the same command with you *.dat. You could place the two copy
commands into a single batch file so only would have to run the batch file

Hope this helps

I want to perform some tasks with XCOPY and need the detailed syntax for

it.

I want to copy all files with the extensions *.log and *.dat (only those

!) in the directory D:\aaadir

(and recursively in the subdirectories) to the target directory E:\bbbdir.

If one of the subdirectories in D:\aaadir contain a file which matches

e.g. *.log then in the targetdir

the same directory should be created (or if already existing it should be

used instead).

All other files should be touched.

How do I specify the appropriate XCOPY command ?
XCOPY syntax show only options to EXCLUDE files but NOT to INCLUDE them.
