Loop though multiple folders and xcopy to target

Question

I am trying to create a windows batch to loop through multiple folders and copy *.txt from each to a single target folder. Here is where i have started:

set inbox=C:\Test\inbox
for %%i in (C:\Test\Archive\ C:\Test\temp\) do (xcopy %%i\*.txt %inbox%\)

Answer 1

Try like this code :

@echo off
set source="C:\Test\Archive" "C:\Test\temp"
set Target=C:\Test\inbox
for %%i in (%source%) do (xcopy "%%~i\*.txt" "%Target%" /Y /I /D)
pause

How to do something to each file in a directory with a batch script

Basically, looks like the first parentheses part should be

('dir /b C:\Test\Archive\ C:\Test\temp')

I'm not sure how that works with two directories - I think it should work but may require doing two runs and merging results.
