can i paste a file to multiple locations using wildcards in DOS prompt?

Question

suppose i have a file 1.xls in c:\
and i want to paste in all folders starting with xc_
like xc_cad,xc_gad,xc_acad etc etc....
is it possible to do it using DOS prompt in one go?
or is it possible to do it using some other method

Answer 1

not pretty but quick, use a batch script:
open notepad and type
@echo off
copy C:\1.xls c:\xc_cad\1.xls
copy C:\1.xls c:\xc_gad\1.xls
copy C:\1.xls c:\xc_acad\1.xls

now save the file as cp1.bat

run it and it does all the commands you typed in sequence
