Default any xcopy experts?
Code:
@echo off
pause

for /F "tokens=*" %%* in ('dir /ad /b *') do call :Sub %%*
goto :eof

:sub
echo Current folder: %*
mkdir D:\backup\%*

xcopy "D:\path\%*\"*.* "D:\backup\%*\"*.* /e /v /c /i /h /y /k >>D:\backup\copytest.txt 2>> D:\backup\error.log

:eof
The script gets a list of the directory in the folder it is ran, and copies it to another location.
I'm trying to log errors into a separate file. Which is working but will only display the error and not the path it was trying. Which isn't very helpful

Access denied
File not found - *.*

Anyway to do log the path it was trying in the error log?
Thanks

Not sure there is one but errors are easy to pick out of the log, just use a find at the end of the job.

At the end of your xcopy line use the following

>> c:\logfile.txt 2>&1
