Copy files with systemcaller > multiple files

Novice question (my DOS days are very, very far behind me). I am trying to copy files (photo's) from one location to the other using system caller. The problem I encounter is that only the first photo get's copied. I use this line in the systemcaller:

 

F: && cd F:\\folder\\photos\\ && md 10122019location && copy F:\\projects\\2019\\location\\drone\\fotos\\\\DJI_0503.JPG F:\\folder\\photos\\10122019location\\DJI_0503.JPG

 

Of course the photo name changes for every photo I want to copy using @value(photofilename), but it only copies the first photo. How do I copy all?

 

I do not want to copy all photo's in the source folder, else I could use *.JPG.

Why not use the File Copy Writer?

If you want to use the SystemCaller you can just use the copy command.

COPY "C:\my work\some file.doc" "D:\New docs\newfile.doc"

Generate this commandline for each file and run it.

Thank you!

I endend up fixxing it by generating a long line with path\filenames seperated by &&. That also worked. I'll try your suggestion as well just to learn something new.
