Copy files subfolders vbscript

Hello SWarrior! FileSystemObject" objFileSys. Just the same way that XCopy does this with all those command switches?? I have the script working fine right now, but there is no need to re-copy files that are exactly the same as what is already there. Esentially, if we have a NEW laptop, or a rebuilt one, then we obviously want to take the time to copy all these file several gig but if they already exist, we only want to copy the new ones or updated ones a couple meg most days See how important this is??

Thanks again, -SWarrior. VBS without "Shelling" out, and to do it as efficiently as xcopy works. I've tried my script using the fso. I'm guessing that it's copying the files regardless if they already exist or not. I have about 12 different locations that need to perform this "mass copy". So, I'm thinking that if I can do this as a Function or Sub, that might help Probobly a Sub would be easier, because I need to be able to write to my 2 dimensional array durring this copy process to create my report that will get emailed after it's complete.

SWarrior, Granted xcopy works, I meant only it can't possibly work with the line as you presented without taking out the enclosing etc.

SWarrior, I created a script like this once. Maybe this is what you need CreateFolder TargetPath Err. K0b3, Thank you very much!! Note to all A note on performance SWarrior, But you keep putting parentheses surrounding the 3 parameters I'm an idiot. For some reason I thought the standard Folder Copy method only did the current folder and no subfolders.

In messing with the code I was debugging something and realized that yes, yes it does copy everything. So all the code I really need? It works. I didn't know that what you were looking for was so easy at first I know, but it still was something I wanted to do solely in code, just because.

I know this is an old post but I have been looking for a way to run VBS to copy and backup data based on date modified and run through all sub directories and files and stumbled across a solution based on the above question your code has an error in the line ReplaceIfNewer file, DateMofidied, SourceFolder, DestFolder you have DateModified miss-spelled causing this to not send through your file.

This set of code will compare the two files and replace the older with the newer. FolderExists chkdestfolder Then objfso. Quit End If end sub. Improve this answer.
