You can see the full details, including an example, in the help file script56.chm, which you can download from the Microsoft site. Alternatively you might want to create a batch file and use the "copy" command.
From: Dolfan849 on 22 Sep 2009 21:44 I can copy the shortcut/files but I am not sure how to get a script to run through all the files to check if a certain file is there before I copy it. Do you have the link for the copyfile method? Thanks for your help. tm "Pegasus [MVP]" wrote: > > "Dolfan849" <Dolfan849(a)discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message > news:9552D10D-9E03-4D7B-A2E8-2926655465E6(a)microsoft.com... > > Can anyone hlep me creating a VBSCRIPT that will go folders on a network > > drive and copy a file (shortcut, .lnk file) to that directory?

From: Pegasus [MVP] on 23 Sep 2009 01:42 Here are the examples you're after, copied straight from script56.chm:Function ReportFileStatus(filespec) Dim fso, msg Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") If (fso.FileExists(filespec)) Then msg = filespec & " exists." Else msg = filespec & " doesn't exist." End If ReportFileStatus = msg End FunctionFileSystemObject.CopyFile "c:\mydocuments\letters\*.doc", "c:\tempfolder\""Dolfan849" <Dolfan849(a)discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:4E662FED-AD55-4E98-A591-70F234C34AB8(a)microsoft.com...>I can copy the shortcut/files but I am not sure how to get a script to run > through all the files to check if a certain file is there before I copy > it. > Do you have the link for the copyfile method?

No to ask a dumb question, where is script56 located? I wasn't sure where the example scripts are listed. thnx, tm "Pegasus [MVP]" wrote: > Here are the examples you're after, copied straight from > script56.chm:Function ReportFileStatus(filespec) > Dim fso, msg > Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") > If (fso.FileExists(filespec)) Then > msg = filespec & " exists." > Else > msg = filespec & " doesn't exist." > End If > ReportFileStatus = msg > End FunctionFileSystemObject.CopyFile "c:\mydocuments\letters\*.doc", > "c:\tempfolder\""Dolfan849" <Dolfan849(a)discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in > message news:4E662FED-AD55-4E98-A591-70F234C34AB8(a)microsoft.com...>I can > copy the shortcut/files but I am not sure how to get a script to run > > through all the files to check if a certain file is there before I copy > > it. > > Do you have the link for the copyfile method?
