How to Copy AWB Image Files in Bulk from Network PC or Local Drive

If you’re dealing with multiple AWB image files and want to copy them quickly, don’t worry — there’s an easy way to do it using a Windows batch file. In this guide, I’ll show you step by step how to get it done, whether your images are on a network PC or stored on your local computer.

Step 1: Prepare Your AWB List

First, create a text file that lists all the AWB numbers for which you want to copy images. Open Notepad and type the numbers like this:

9221118866
9221118806
9221118805
9221118801

Save this file as awb.txt in a folder you can easily access.

Step 2: Create the Batch File

Next, we’ll create a batch file that will automatically search for these images and copy them to a folder of your choice. Open Notepad again and paste the following code:

For Network PC:

@echo off
set source=\\desktop-vd76591\Images
set destination=C:\Users\YourName\Desktop\SelectedImages

if not exist "%destination%" mkdir "%destination%"

for /f %%i in (awb.txt) do (
    for /r "%source%" %%f in (%%i*.jp*) do (
        copy "%%f" "%destination%"
    )
)

echo All images copied successfully!
pause

For Local Drive:

@echo off
set source=D:\Images
set destination=C:\Users\YourName\Desktop\SelectedImages

if not exist "%destination%" mkdir "%destination%"

for /f %%i in (awb.txt) do (
    for /r "%source%" %%f in (%%i*.jp*) do (
        copy "%%f" "%destination%"
    )
)

echo All images copied successfully!
pause

Save this file as copy_images.bat in the same folder as awb.txt. Double-click the batch file to run it.

Step 3: Enjoy Automated Bulk Copy

After running the batch file, all matching images will be copied to your destination folder. This works even if your images are inside multiple date-based subfolders.

FAQ

Q: Why does Windows say "The system cannot find the file specified"?

A: This usually happens if images are stored inside subfolders. Using for /r ensures all subfolders are searched.

Q: Can I use this for .jpeg and uppercase .JPG files?

A: Yes. The wildcard *.jp* works for all these formats.

Q: Can this handle thousands of images at once?

A: Absolutely. The batch file is optimized for bulk copying without altering original files.
