Copy folder and data from one folder to another folder

Hi,

I'm searching for a way to copy data files and folders (including the data content of these folders)) from my working directory to another folder.

I have no clue how to solve this problem.

I would like to create a tool which compares the data files and folders in my CWD an if there is no similar file/ folder in the target folder the tool shoud copy this file/ folder to the target folder.

I already know how to select data files from one folder and copy them to another one but I don't know how to do this with folders and the data conbtent.

Thanks a lot in advance

Best regards

Are you using Mathcad 15?

Have a look at following two documents you might find something to help.

The only way to do what you want is by using a scripted component. Mathcad's built in file handling is very weak, but VBscript is very good for that. There are a lot of examples here: Extra Components and Controls

You beat me to it

Thanks a lot for the answers. I think I have to get into VB and create my own script.

Here is a link to a VBScript guidebook written by Dani Vainstein that is helpful.
