Cmd command to copy files with a specific extension

Question

So, I use this command to copy only txt files from a specific directory to another directory

for /R c:\source %%f in (*.xml) do copy %%fx:\destination\ 

But it only copies text files with no space in the name, so it copies test.txt, but does not test 2.txt. How to make it copy txt files with spaces?

Answer 1

Add quotes around the variable after the copy command:

 for /R c:\source %%f in (*.xml) do copy "%%f" x:\destination\ 

Answer 2

what happened with

 copy c:\source\*.xml x:\destination\ >nul

[Edit] Oh, I see you want to copy all the files in all directories recursively, but without copying the directory structure. Then Nevermind.
