file copying

[sbitaxi]

I am trying to copy a series of directories, and it keeps failing
because of an invalid or non-existent file on the source CD. I would
like it to continue copying and just skip the invalid files as it finds
them. Is there a DOS command or a macro that I can write that will do
this? I don't want to waste my time chasing down the invalid files, I
have a dozen CDs with data, and I know each of them have a few invalid
files. I'm wasting a whack of time on this and hope someone has an
answer. I have tried XCopy but none of the switches allows me to ignore
invalid files.


Regards,

Did you use this switch with xcopy? /C Continues copying even if errors
occur.

That worked. I didn't see that switch when I /?

Thanks everyone!

Does

XCOPY/C

do the trick?
