Displaying copied contents verbosely....

[Ross1811]

Hi Everyone,


Does anyone know if there is a way to display files copied such as dos does verbosely in vbscript?


Thanks,
Ross

Something like this ?
Dim SA, dest
Set SA=CreateObject("Shell.Application")
Set dest=SA.NameSpace("\path\to\destdir")
dest.CopyHere "\path\to\sourcedir",16

Hope This Helps, PH.

How is this verbosely? I do not see the files being copied in any window?

What is the code that you currently use for copying?

This is my code, just simple copy command but I want to see the files also being copied when copied across the network.

Dim FSO
Dim WshShell


Set FSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")


FSO.CopyFolder "C:\Backup\Share", "\\Computernamne\share\"

Set FSO = nothing
Set WshShell = nothing

Wscript.Quit

Have you tried this ?
Dim SA, dest
Set SA = CreateObject("Shell.Application")
Set dest = SA.NameSpace("\\Computernamne\share")
dest.CopyHere "C:\Backup\Share", 16

With the .CopyFolder method, then you will not be able to see the file being copied. If you want to see that you will need to use the .CopyFile method on each file and display the file name as you copy each one.
