Filecopy

Hi guys this is a very noob question

Filecopy

Return value is 0 or 1

1=success 0=failure

If the filecopy fails i want to know about it so how query the return value

I have lots of files to copy to different places and I don't really want to create lot of variables and then have to write a if for each one to see if it has failed. is there any clever people out there who can suggest a better way.

I was thinking about calling a function but the some of the filecopy's are contained in other functions already which will make it calling a function from a function which sounds messy.

The copy returns 1 so do:

$result = 0

$result = $result + FileCopy(....)

Do this for as many files as you want, and then when you want to test if they have all been successful compare $result to the number of copies.

For example if you do 10 copies and $result is 10 you know that all have succeeded. If $result does not equal 10 then one or more have failed.
