Batch - copy file using relative path

Question

I'm a beginner with batch. I would like to copy file in \Debug\test.ext into ..\..\new by batch command.

I tried copy "\Debug\text.txt" "..\..\new", but get error "the system cannot find the file specified"

Solution 1

if you start your path with \, it's an absolute, not a relative path. Try copy "Debug\text.txt" "..\..\new" instead

Solution 2

if you have Debug subdir try with

md   "..\..\new" >nul 2>&1
copy ".\Debug\text.txt" "..\..\new"

md will create a new directory two levels up if you don't have it already.
