[1]@echo off
[2]md d:\temp2 >nul 2>nul
[3]for /f %%i in ( ' dir /a:d /b c:\temp\a* ' ) do md d:\temp2\"%%i"&cd
"%%i"&xcopy /s/e . d:\temp2\"%%i">nul&cd ..

There are 3 lines to the script. Each has been prefixed by [number] for
identification. The lines may be displayed wrapped. You would need to rejoin
them to re-create a working script.

The spaces around the single quotes in [3] are for clarity and are not
required. The single-quotes ARE required.
