in reply to Copy files and subdirectories
but Xcopy does not have a way to exclude ... I need it to look for files such as ".lck" files and not copy them
Hm. According to the documentation:
/EXCLUDE:file1[+file2][+file3]... Specifies a list of files containing strings. Each stri +ng should be in a separate line in the files. When any of +the strings match any part of the absolute path of the file +to be copied, that file will be excluded from being copied. F +or example, specifying a string like \obj\ or >>>.obj<<< wi +ll exclude all files underneath the directory obj or >>>all files w +ith the .obj extension<<< respectively.
suggests that you've misread the documentation and that:
"xcopy /E /I /F /R /exclude:.lck <source> <destination>"
should do exactly what you are asking for.
