Copy multiple files

VB Code:

FileCopy(strSource, strDestination)

This is the way i know to copy one file from one directory to other. But how about copying multiple files? Like copying *.txt from Folder1 to Folder2.

pls guide

regards

Try this , I didn't test it though .

VB Code:

Try
            Dim files() As String = Directory.GetFiles("c:\folder", "*.txt")
            For Each fil As String In files
                File.Copy(fil, destnationFolder)
            Next
        Catch ex As Exception
            MessageBox.Show(ex.Message)
        End Try

This one tested and working :

VB Code:

Private Sub CopyFiles()
        Const desntationfolder As String = "c:\folder2"
 
        Try
            Dim files() As String = Directory.GetFiles("c:\folder1", "*.txt")
            For Each fil As String In files
                File.Copy(fil, desntationfolder + "\" + Path.GetFileName(fil))
            Next
        Catch ex As Exception
            MessageBox.Show(ex.Message)
        End Try
 
    End Sub

isn't there any option rather than looping around the files??

just an alternative :D :D :D

And what's wrong with loop structures ?;) There might be other alternatives but can't think of any now . :rolleyes:

Hello guys, I have 2 folders. A source and a destination folder.
Destination folder is a folder in my "Program files", and I want to make an application to look for new files from source folder, and copy them to destination folder.
In source folder, it is possible to find only files, or files and folders and subfolders.
My problem is that I want to copy only files, not folders.
I want my application to navigate to each subfolder copy files to the same subfolder of destination folder in "Program files"
My problem is that I don't know how to take the destination
folder & subfolder & file.name in a string.

Thanks for any help

Code:

---

    Private Sub CopyFilesDir(ByVal sDir As DirectoryInfo, ByVal dDir As DirectoryInfo)
        Dim dirs() As DirectoryInfo = sDir.GetDirectories
        Dim dir As DirectoryInfo
        Dim sf1 As String

        For Each dir In dirs

            For Each f As FileInfo In dir.GetFiles
                sf1 = dir.FullName & "\" & f.Name
                Copyfiles(sf1, destination, true)
            Next

        Next
    End Sub

EDIT: I did it with split string.

Code:

---

Private Sub SplitPath(ByVal s As String)
        LineOfText = s
        aryTextFile = LineOfText.Split("\")
        Dim i As Integer
        For i = 0 To UBound(aryTextFile)
            If i >= 5 Then
                sPath &= aryTextFile(i) & "\"
            Else
                sPath = ""
            End If
        Next i
