Re: xcopy folder name with variables

Can you show the whole script... or at least the entire FOR loop?
Remember that variables are typically expanded at 'Load Time'. So if you are setting and interrogating a variable in a FOR loop or in a parenthesized block you will need to take that into consideration. Delayed Expansion is one way to do that.
