Invalid number of paramters with xcopy

I am using the command below:

C:\>xcopy /i /e %IDF_PATH%\examples\get-started\hello_world F:\Projekt1\Eclipse_kodok

The problem is every time I get the error:

Invalid number of parameters

Is there any method to solve this problem?

(I'm a beginner command prompt user.)

First of all, try including source and destination in quotes (it is likely that %IDF_PATH% contains spaces).

Second, if the destination is a directory, use the backslash at the end.

like this:

xcopy /i /e "%IDF_PATH%\examples\get-started\hello_world" "F:\Projekt1\Eclipse_kodok\"

If the destination is a file, try to use this undocumented feature of xcopy:

xcopy /i /e "%IDF_PATH%\examples\get-started\hello_world" "F:\Projekt1\Eclipse_kodok*"

Hope this helps :-)
