I'm looking for an efficient way to copy pictures from SD card to HDD. I'm using adobe suite for editing, and I don't want to "clutter" my PC with otherwise useless software (like Picassa). It would be much nicer to have a .bat file stored on the SD card, that I could execute on any PC. This is what I have so far:

FOR %%f IN (*.jpg *.raw) DO XCOPY G:\DCIM\100MSDCF\"%%f" C:\images /m /y /d[:08-17-2014]

  1. How to make "xcopy" command copy from current batch file destination, instead of pre-defined destination? (in this case, G drive)

  2. Is it possible to use input from command line for /d[:date] parameter? (so that the user inputs the date in cmd line, instead of manually changing the .bat file)

For syntax of xcopy see: http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/windows/xp/all/proddocs/en-us/xcopy.mspx?mfr=true

All feedback is welcome, as I'm a new user here:) Hello world!

  • There are tons of tools that do file copying that are both and free. Which of these tools have you decided does not meet your requirements? – Ramhound Aug 19 '14 at 17:17

  1. . references the current folder, as does %CD%. %~dp returns the path where the batch file lives. Pick yer poison.
  2. set /p myVariable=Date? will prompt the user for input ("Date? ") and place it in a variable (named "myVariable") for use.
