File.Copy Method does not let use template for copying files,
I can not use File.Copy("C:\ABC\*.txt", "C:\XYZ\*.txt")

but I need to use such way:
File.Copy("C:\ABC\1.txt", "C:\XYZ\1.txt")
File.Copy("C:\ABC\2.txt", "C:\XYZ\2.txt")

Does exist way in .Net for copying file by template?

Use the File.Directory.GetFiles method to filter your directory.

Then call File.Copy for each item in GetFiles.
 
You'll have to loop through the directory and copy the files one by one:

Dim SourceDir As String = "C\ABC"
Dim DestDir As String = "C:\XYZ"
Dim DestFile As String

For Each strFile As String In Directory.GetFiles(SourceDir, "*.txt")
DestFile = strFile.Replace(SourceDir, DestDir)
File.Copy(strFile, DestFile)
Next strFile


hope that helps..
Imran.
