I am trying to copy specific files to a common directory and have looked at the script in the solution under the title “Copy specific file to specific folder” on this site but I am unsure what the contents are of the filemove.txt to replicate this solution as it would likely work for what I am trying to do.

I am assuming that if I cut and pasted this solution into a .txt file and saved as a .scr file and had a filemove.txt file with the appropriate content that it would work but I am not sure.

However, I would prefer to use the robocopy solution also listed under the title “Copy specific file to specific folder” on this site but have found that following this always results in the error:
2006/12/03 23:10:19 ERROR 123 (0x0000007B) Accessing Source Directory C:\artist name\album name\song title.mp3\
The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect.

The only time I am able to get robocopy to work is when I use syntax like:
C:\Documents and Settings\My Name>ROBOCOPY "C:\Artist Name\Album Name" 04*.mp3 "C:\Copy To Me"

But this is a pain because I would have to change the file names for every file that had any spaces. IE “song name 123.mp3” would have to become “song*.mp3”

I am hoping there is a way to copy several files using robocopy or possibly the script above. Does anyone have any ideas on how to do this?

robocopy is used with source destination filespec
as in
robocopy "C:\Artist Name\Album Name\" "C:\Copy To Me\" *.mp3

What is it that you are trying to accomplish? How do you want to choose which files get copie
