If there's any place that can help me it's tek-tips


I have no clue how to write scripts but i know what you can do with them.

I need help with moving files from one network folder to another. I tried batch file but can't seem to figure out the correct syntax if anyone can help thanks in advance.

I use robocopy for copy stuff, it's freeware and you can find it on a windows 2003 cd. Here is an example:


et WSHShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
wshshell.run "C:\Windows\robocopy.exe " & chr(34) & "C:\Program Files\Folder Name" & chr(34) & " " & Chr(34) & "D:\BACKUP IMPORTANT\Program Files\Folder Name" & chr(34) & " /MIR /TEE /W:10 /R:3 /LOG:C:\LOGFILE.TXT

Just for iNfAmOuSeNiGmA 's sake, utilman missed a leading charcter while pasting. Use Set in the first line.

et WSHShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")

Should read

Set WSHShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")

I hope you find this post helpful. Please let me know if it was.

Regards,

Mark

personally i'd use a batch file

xcopy C:\file\to\be\copied.exe E:\location\of\where\you\want\it.exe

Personally I'd write a script to do it so that I could handle errors properly.
