Copy command for folders with \..\ and \= names with .bat files -

i searched everywhere on google , there doesn't seem solution. xcopy, copy, robocopy, parsing literal string via variable, wildcard characters..

copy c:\soulworker\datas\bin\table\nf2\data12.v   c:\soulworker\datas\=true_english\  /r c:\soulworker\datas\bin\table\nf2\english\ %%f in (*.res) copy %%f  c:\soulworker\datas\bin\table\nf2\data12.zip\..\bin\table\ 

on = equals sign in path or file name, read cmd syntax: escape characters, delimiters , quotes:

delimiters

delimiters separate 1 parameter next - split command line words.

parameters separated spaces, of following valid delimiters:

• comma (,)
• semicolon (;)
• equals (=)
• space ( )
• tab ( )

to keep delimiter in file or path name, use double quotes follows:

copy c:\soulworker\datas\bin\table\nf2\data12.v "c:\soulworker\datas\=true_english\" 

on using .. doubled full stop, read naming files, paths, , namespaces:

use 2 consecutive periods (..) directory component in path represent parent of current directory.

for instance,

dir c:\soulworker\datas\bin\table\nf2\data12.zip\..\bin\table\ dir c:\soulworker\datas\bin\table\nf2\data12xzip\..\bin\table\ dir c:\soulworker\datas\bin\table\nf2\foobar.exe\..\bin\table\ dir c:\soulworker\datas\bin\table\nf2\foobarabcd\..\bin\table\     

would resolve

dir c:\soulworker\datas\bin\table\nf2\bin\table\ 

even if skipped directory component in path contains inadmissible characters e.g. * (asterisk), ? (question mark) or : (colon), see next example:

==> dir /b /s c:\windows\foo***...???:::\..\system32\notepad.exe c:\windows\system32\notepad.exe  ==> 

the \foo***...???::: path part (preceding \..) not parsed @ all…
