Copy files from one folder hierarchy to an other

[svjensen]

I need to copy all files from one folder hierarchy to an other.

An example:
My source is in 'c:\1' which has a number of subfolders, some of which have subfolders, etc. Along the lines of:
c:\1
c:\1\a
c:\1\b
c:\1\b\1
c:\1\c
c:\1\c\1
...

All files have to be copied to 'c:\2' and go to the same folder as they come from. If the folder does not exist it should be created.

Is there an easy way to do this, or do I have to loop through all folders and subfolders, and do them one at a time?

If you are referring to my post then yes this is an alternative answer to your query which copies the files from C:\1 to C:\2

You can read up on the xcopy switches (for example to prompt before overwriting files, to copy files changed after a particular date etc ) at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/289483
