Just Move a directory, into an exsisting directory, replacing all files that exsist .

Just Move a directory, into an exsisting directory, replacing all files that exsist , if i am moving the directory to, and the file already exsists there,

Just like in Windows Explorer,


How do i do this?

check out the File System Object

You need some code that does:

For all Files in the Directory:
- If the File is in the target directory, delete it.
- Copy the File to the target Directory.
Loop until end of Directory.

Use the FSO for the "all files in directory".

wheres the FSO?

Just include a reference to "Microsoft Scripting Runtime"

as wpearsall said, you need a reference to the Scripting Runtime library, and then check out both the on-line help for FSO and also use the object browser to check out all the properties & methods

Taking the algorithm:

For all Files in the Directory:
- If the File is in the target directory, delete it.
- Copy the File to the target Directory.
Loop until end of Directory.

You might end up with something like:

VB Code:

strDest = "c:\Test"
    strSource = "C:\Temp"
'
' You should check here to make sure DEST and SOURCE actually exist - I dont bother!
'
    Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
    Set fsoFolder = fso.GetFolder(strSource)
    Set fsoFiles = fsoFolder.Files
    For Each strFile In fsoFiles
        strFileName = Mid(strFile, InStrRev(strFile, "\") + 1)
        If Len(Dir(strDest & "\" & strFileName)) <> 0 Then
            Kill (strDest & "\" & strFileName)
        End If
        FileCopy strSource & "\" & strFileName, strDest & "\" & strFileName
    Next
