Copying 1 file into multiple subfolders
To copy a file into multiple subfolders in Windows, you can use a PowerShell script. Here's an example of how to achieve this:
powershell# Define the source file path and the destination root folder
$sourceFile = "C:\path\to\source\file.txt"
$destinationRootFolder = "C:\path\to\destination\root"
# Get a list of all subfolders in the destination root folder
$subfolders = Get-ChildItem $destinationRootFolder -Directory
# Copy the source file into each subfolder
foreach ($subfolder in $subfolders) {
$destinationPath = Join-Path -Path $subfolder.FullName -ChildPath (Split-Path $sourceFile -Leaf)
Copy-Item -Path $sourceFile -Destination $destinationPath
}
Make sure to replace "C:\path\to\source\file.txt"
with the actual path of the file you want to copy, and "C:\path\to\destination\root"
with the root folder where you want to copy the file into the subfolders.
This script retrieves a list of all subfolders within the destination root folder using the Get-ChildItem
cmdlet with the -Directory
parameter. Then, it loops through each subfolder and constructs the destination path by joining the subfolder path with the base name of the source file using Join-Path
and Split-Path
cmdlets. Finally, it copies the source file to the destination path using the Copy-Item
cmdlet.
Execute the script in PowerShell, and it will copy the file into each subfolder within the specified destination root folder.
