C:MyDownloadLocation= directory where there is this folder called
Naruto, and insideNarutothere'sNaruto.mkv
C:MyOtherLocation= default download location where I wantNaruto
folder moved, with insideNaruto.mkv
This is the command I ran:
FOR /R C:MyDownloadLocation %f IN (.) DO robocopy "%f" "C:MyOtherLocation" /S
This command looks for a folder (.) in C:MyDownloadLocation (%f is the folder) and will copy it with inside Naruto.mkv in C:MyOtherLocation
The problem is that in C:MyOtherLocation there's even Naruto.mkv, when it should be only in the folder Naruto
So, after the command FOR /R C:MyDownloadLocation %f IN (.) DO robocopy "%f" "C:MyOtherLocation" /S, I'm in this state:
C:MyOtherLocationNarutoNaruto.mkv
C:MyOtherLocationNaruto.mkv(this shouldn't exist)
Why does it copy even Naruto.mkv?
And how can I fix this?
