Command Prompt Problem

[vaibhavtek]

Hi Friends,

I have a problem in Command Prompt.

Suppose If have a folder named "test" located in C: and want it to copy it in a folder name "result" located in C: then we write the command:-

CD C:\
copy test result

But if I have a folder named "My Test" and want it to copy it in a folder named "result" both are located in C: then what command I must use.

If I use:-

CD C:\
copy My Test result

then this doesnot work because in "My Test" folder I have "My<SPACE>Test" and if I use this how it can copy as Command Prompt will be confuse.

so for space what command I should write..

Hope u understand what I mean..??

If not then pls reply..

Awating for reply and help..

Put "My Test" within quotes. If the second line is
copy "My Test" result

it should work...

I typed:-

CD C:\
COPY "My Test" result

It gives me error saying:-

My Test\*
The system cannot find the file specified.
0 file(s) copied.

So it doesnot help and other suggestion.

Pls help me.

Try ".\My Test" or "C:\My Test" instead of just "My Test"

the command

copy "my test" result

will copy only the files located within the directory "my test". i guess u dont have any files under the directory "my test" so the error msg u got. create some files inside the folder and see the result. copy command only copies files not the folders. to copy folders or sub-folder u need to give the command

"xcopy"
