I have a directory with lots of child directories.

I have a separate file that lists the child directories that need to be moved, list_of_numbers. This is a long list of directory names

I want a batch file to read list_of_numbers, create a new folder based on the line value, and copy the contents to the new folder with:

for /f "tokens=*" %%a in (H:Share1list_of_numbers.txt) do (
    md "%%a"
    xcopy "h:storage%%a*.*" "c:Users%username%Desktop%%a"  
)

I keep getting the eror: The system cannot find the drive specified.

I presume it is the final destination, as creating the folder succeeds.

I am at a loss, as the command copy h:storage1000004*.* c:UsersfrankaDesktop1000004 worked when run in cmd prompt

I tried xcopy, copy, and other tags at the end, ie /S, /Q, but always receive the same error
