Copying files
Ok Suppose i have two directories
dim source as string = "C:\MyFiles" dim dest as string = "C:\Mybackup" now if the MyFiles folder contains 5 documents: file1.doc file2.doc file3.doc file4.doc file5.doc I want to click a button, have it check to see if the dest exsists, if it does and there are files in it, get those files and copy them to the backup folder. So far i have: dim source as string = "C:\MyFiles"
dim dest as string = "C:\Mybackup"
if directory.exsists(source) then
dim sFiles() as string
sFiles = Directory.GetFiles(source, "*.doc", SearchOption.TopDirectoryOnly)
'Stuck here after getting the files
'array copy method of some sort? |
