Need VB code for a copy command

[futbwal15]

Im looking to create some code in VB that i need to take a file from a main folder and have it automatically copy this file into all subsequent folders. any ideas?

a simple little program for this would be great.

Check FileCopy

i dont know what my folder destinations are becuase new folders are created regularly.

If you don't know where to copy the file to, how will your application know where to put it?

Ask the user where they want their file to go.

i know what root folder that the file is in. Its just that there are subsequent folders under the main folder that i need the file copied into. here is what i tried in a .bat file but didnt quite work:

@echo off
rem Copy File.txt to Folder 000-999
for %%a in (0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9) do for %%b in (0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9) do for %%c in

(0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9) do copy\file.txt\Folder%%a%%b%%c

I see, my mistake.

You need to investigate FileSystemObject (FSO). It will allow you to loop thru subfolders in given folder, then you can use FileCopy or its way of copy a file.

cool i appreciate the advice....one last thing however. is it possible to have code that can search and tell me what all is in a folder. so if i searched for my main folder to exist, i then would need a list of names for the subsequent folders

Probably.

Me, myself, I don't like FSO, but do your research (there is A LOT of info about FSO on the Net) and I am sure you will find more than you need.

Have fun.

.. Or use the DIR command (details on several threads in this forum, or in your VBHelp)
