How do I copy a full directory

[serarmoro]

Hi guys I need to copy a full directory in a monthly basis, right now that's being handled manually but I need to make it happen with a command from the user.
I've searched for a method to copy a directory but there's only a method to copy one file at a time.
I also checked on the threads to see if there was one before, but couldn't find one... I'll appreciate any advise.

Thank you

Serarmoro,

You may be interested in

http://techtricks.com/paradox/fsrecurse.php,

which shows how to use the existing FileSystem methods to recursively search a directory and any child directories for files.

The code is fairly skeletal and contains a SWITCH statement where you'll probably want to put the code to copy the individual file.

Also, there's a sample script available, so you don't have to type in the code yourself.

Hope this helps...

Thank you very much I've found the code in another thread posted sometime ago and I was working on it. But the link you gave me is better than the solution I was looking for... (wich I already got) If you know any other links like that I'll appreciate the tip.

Thank You

Serarmoro,

I'm glad you liked the article and found it helpful. As far as similar links go, well, there's another page on the same site that lists many Paradox related links (

You might want to start with

http://techtricks.com/paradox/resources/favsites.php,

which lists my favorite Paradox related sites.

Hope this helps...

Thank you very much for the information so far I was in a kind of emptyness regarding Paradox information other than my 4.0, 4.5 and 9 version documentation. I coudn't understand why such a powerful program had so little info and support.
As you wrote it I tried before the Corel KnowledgeBase only to feel frustrated. This was the only truly helpful site I've found up to yesterday.
Can't tell you how happy I am right now... have a lot to read.
Again Thank you.
