Hello, I would like to use dircopy in a script to copy a folder including all files and subfolders to another location, thereby only overwriting older files (to keep copying times to a minimum).The dircopy function unfortunately does not provide this option. Then I searched the forum and stumbled upon a FileCompare function to compare file attributes. So I thought of doing the copying by first getting a file list from each (sub)directory and then comparing each file to determine if the file should be copied or not. However, this seems complicated and I was hoping there is an easier way. I prefer not having to use windows shell commands like xcopy. (Note: The source and target folders are read from an .ini file.) Could anyone please help me out how to get this done or suggest a good approach at this? Many thanks in advance!
