Using an array to copy a range of files.

[mrdecrypter]

Hello all. I am trying to Create a VBScript that can copy a range of files based on the time they were created. The files are all named with the time and date they were created, but in 24 hour time. I am going to design it to prompt the user for the start time and end time. So if they wanted to copy all files that were created at 1300-1500 hours, they would specify 1300 as the start and 1500 as the end time, thus copying all files that fall within that time frame. I figured this situation calls for an array, or does anyone have a better suggestion? Perhaps using the real windows time stamp for the file? Thanks for your input.

you would not need an array. Research the following objects:

FileSystemObject
Folder Object
Folder.Files Collection
File Object
File.DateCreated Property
