I have .xml file in my folder.
I want to specifically transfer them to another folder.

For Example:

FOLDER A:

2012P02B.XML
2012P02B.XML
2012PCXB.XML
2012P80K.XML
2012PC6H.XML
2012P93L.XML
2012P02X.XML

I want to transfer all of the others except to "2012P02B.XML" to FOLDER B.

Help me please. Thanks and Regards!

Use the wildcards: "*" is "any text", "?" is "any character"
Try:

If you want to move all files except one single file, you can rename it before moving the other files and restore it when your done.

set KEEPFILE=2012P02B.XML
set TARGETDIR=C:\FOLDERB

ren %KEEPFILE% %KEEPFILE%.kept
move *.XML %TARGETDIR%
ren %KEEPFILE%.kept %KEEPFILE%
