Copying files in directory

[ReidarT]

I want to copy files in directory to another location like
c:\dir1\*.* to f:\dir2
Do I need to copy file by file or can I just copy the whole directory

Reidar,

File by file, when you do not use the process which I advice you not to use.

And for that than the file.move(oldfile,newfile), which is better because
you do not know what other programs are handling the same files and with the
process you cannot catch that.

I hope this helps?

You'll have to loop through the directories and copy file-by-file:

<URL:http://dotnet.mvps.org/dotnet/samples/filesystem/downloads/FileSystemEn
umerator.zip>

+

'System.IO.File' + its methods.

Do I need to copy file by file or can I just copy the whole directoryI wrote "move" what is wrong.

I have no problem when "you" attents me on that.
As you know I only appriciate that.

Thanks.
