I need use robocopy to copy 30 different source folders to their corresponding target folder. I was thinking about adding each robocopy line into powershell, but do not want each line to run at once . I only want the next robocopy command to start after the previous once completes.

    Just put those commands in a .ps1 file. They will run one after the other. Use the /l switch to test. 

    robocopy.exe C:\Source1 D:\Dest1 /s /l
robocopy.exe C:\Source2 D:\Dest2 /s /l
robocopy.exe C:\Source3 D:\Dest3 /s /l

    You could also save that as a .bat file and run it with cmd.exe.
