Batch file tree structure

[Kyle123]

I'll bet there's plenty of people around who know their way round batch files, they really ain't my thing, I've written the below to convert all .md files to .docx, it works, but I want the output files in another location with the same file structure (there is a file tree in Documentation) - assume I already have the same file structure here: "U:\Documentation", I suspect that there's a way of removing parts of the file path, specifically anything before "Documentation", but I can't suss it out.

Any ideas?

I've attached the code, since if I try and post it, the forum has a hissy fit

Hi Kyle,

I'm not exactly sure what you want, but it seems like you want to put the output in a different folder. I've attached a zip file containing the following 3 files, which were tested and working on a Vista 32 bit system. I put both .bat files in the source folder. To test, I double clicked file Kyle123Master.bat.

File Kyle123forum.bat

I commented out the pause above because it was easier for me to test the .bat file by running the above file from a Master .bat file that redirects output to a file. It is almost impossible for me to read the output in the .cmd window.

Ouput in file x.txt (I had two .md test files in the source folder):

Thanks Lewis, it doesn't do what I want I'm afraid, using your code (tweaked for reading), I get:

I want:

Is that any clearer?

So that it mirrors the file structure

I think I see what you want now. Hopefully lines 4 and 5 of your what 'I want' are incorrect, otherwise my solution is also incorrect. See the code below and the attached zip file that contains all 3 files.

Please note that my source folder names are still in the .bat files and must be commented out and replaced with your folder names.

Try the following file Kyle123forumA.bat:

Thanks Lewis, that's great - I'll try it in the morning it's 2130 now so not at work. You're right my "I want" is incorrect, your output is what I'm after
