Filecopy does not copy the rest of the files on the 2nd run

[dkwokgs]

Hi There,

I did a filecopy(w/o overwrite - see attached) from src to destination, it works for the 1st time (all file went through). I deleted one file in the destination and ran the script again but nothing was copied over! Why?

Please advise.

FileCopy("c:\test1\*.doc","C:\test2\")

from the helpfile

FileCopy ( "source", "dest" [, flag] )

Parameters

source The source path of the file(s) to copy. Wildcards are supported.

dest The destination path of the copied file(s).

flag [optional] this flag determines whether to overwrite files if they already exist.

Can be a combination of the following:

0 = (default) do not overwrite existing files

1 = overwrite existing files

8 = Create destination directory structure if it doesn't exist (See Remarks).

you need to FileCopy("c:\test1\*.doc","C:\test2\",1)
