how can I copy files from all subdirectory according to a specific file type

I have a Makefile that has a bash command that I need to convert to a Windows batch file.

The command is:

find "source" -type f -wholename '*/.bin/output/*.dll' -exec cp\{\} "./dest" \;

The idea of this command is to copy all DLL files in /.bin/output/ folders and copy them to the dest folder.

To my knowledge, there is no equivalent command for find.

Can someone help me with that?

Solution

  • I finally succeeded in solving this.

    @echo off
 
set "sourceDir=%cd%"
set "destDir=%cd%\build"
set fileCount=0
 
if not exist "%destDir%" (
    mkdir "%destDir%"
)
 
for /r "%sourceDir%" %%d in (.bin) do (
    if exist "%%d\output" (
        for %%f in ("%%d\output\*.dll") do (
            copy "%%f" "%destDir%" >nul
            if not errorlevel 1 (
                set /a fileCount+=1
            )
        )
    )
)

    This works as expected. Thanks to everyone who commented on this post.
