Select All Files In A Folder And Copy Them.
Hi Guys,
I need to try and add a back up files feature in my app.
At the moment I have a form that lets the user see the files saved by using a browser control with simple code on a buttons event like so:
Code: Me.brwWebBrowser1.Navigate App.Path & "/Saved/"
I would like to add an additional button that when clicked selects & copys all the files and folders in the Saved folder.........and put them in a folder of the users choice.
If I could figure out how to select and copy all the files being displayed in the browser control I think I could get through the rest??
Thanks in advance for any thoughts.

Trying To Copy Files From Folder To Folder
hello everyone i have a problem with my code and was wandering if someone can help me figure it out.....this is what im trying to do....
i have a text box that has names in it...this can range from 10 names to however many....ok what these names are is the filename of a texture file that is either a .bmp or a .tga....the actull texture file will reside in 1 of three folders.....the first folder would be extures then exturessprites then exturesdecals
and what i need to do is filecopy the actull file that fits the name from my text box to another folder that the user will speicify but for now im saying "c extures"
ok i have code that takes the names in the text box and breaks them down by first placeing them all in one string and then places then one at a time so that i can attach them to a path....sence the command filecopy needs a source and a dest.....
ok i then have code that searches all three folders for me looking to find the file from the textbox in one of the three folders......
ok here is the code that i have for all of it.....
Code:
Private Sub CopyFile(ByVal fn As String, ByVal DestDir As String)
'copies file(s) fn.* from 3 fixed directories to destdir
Dim srcDir As String
Dim s As String
If Right$(DestDir, 1) <> "" Then DestDir = DestDir & ""
srcDir = "c:SierraSWAT3Missionssamplemission exture"
s = Dir$(srcDir & fn & ".*")
While Len(s) 'while s is not null
FileCopy srcDir & fn, DestDir & fn
s = Dir$ 'get another file
Wend
srcDir = "c:SierraSWAT3Missionssamplemission exturedecals"
s = Dir$(srcDir & fn & ".*")
While Len(s) 'while s is not null
FileCopy srcDir & fn, DestDir & fn
s = Dir$ 'get another file
Wend
srcDir = "c:SierraSWAT3Missionssamplemission exturesprites"
s = Dir$(srcDir & fn & ".*")
While Len(s) 'while s is not null
FileCopy srcDir & fn, DestDir & fn
s = Dir$ 'get another file
Wend
End Sub
Private Sub Command5_Click()
Dim i As Integer
Dim names As String
Dim aFn() As String 'array of strings
names = Text1.Text 'collect the names into a single string
'PRESUMABLY you've separated the names somehow, maybe by crlf or tabs or spaces or commas.
' If not, you got a problem....
aFn = Split(names, vbCrLf) 'assumes filenames are separated by spaces
For i = 0 To UBound(aFn)
If Len(aFn(i)) Then 'simple error check
CopyFile aFn(i), "c: extures"
End If
Next i
End Sub
can anyone look at this and tell me why it wont do anything....im not getting an error but its not copying the texture files over either......ive racked my brain till im blue from frustratiuon on this....one thing is that im preaty new to vb and im not use to working with private subs unless they are used in the same event im doing.....thanks everyone in advance

Copy 10 Files To Selected Folder
I want to copy 10 specific files from a fixed folder location to a folder selected by the user. The source path and file names can be hard coded since they w/n change so the user does not have to select the 10 files.
"FileCopy" would work fine if the destination was fixed (but things are never that simple). (Used this as a "test learning" thing)
BrowseFolder looks to be the best choice for selecting the destination. Is there a way to pass the selection to FileCopy?
Thanks!

Open A Files Parent Folder && Select File
I have the Full path to a file.
I want to open the folder that file is stored in, in an explorer window/my computer window and then select the file.
Microsoft has the option when you DL a file from IE. You can Click 'Open', 'Open Folder' or 'Close' when a DL is complete.
This is the same thing as 'Open Folder'.
Also:
If you go to the properties of a shortcut on the desktop. On the Shortcut tab click 'Find Target...'. An explorer window will open and the file that the shortcut was for will be selected.
Now, lets say I want to find the calculator. It's path is: 'C:windowssystem32calc.exe'.
I'm trying to get 'C:windowssystem32' folder to open, and calc.exe to be selected.
Can anyone help? How can I do this?
How Can I Select/copy Info From 1 Listbox,make It Copy To Another Thenexportto Ssheet
Hi all,
Get a pretty simle one but a little bit too difficult for me to work out.
I've attached a file to this thread called ListBox.zip.
It basically contains a form with listboxes (FromList & ToList).
I've added some names in the listbox by using the following code
FromList.AddItem ("Dog")
etc etc.
The word Dog appears in the list box as normal.
I would like to be able to click on the word dog in the ListBox, then click a Command Button (named cmdMoveListItems)
and it simply transfers the word dog across to the other ListBox.
Also, would like to click on another Command Button which openeds up a spreadsheet preferred (or another page with a single list box in it) and displays what I selected.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks...

Move Files To Network Folder And Then Delete Old Ones At Local Folder
I am new at programming with VB6 and I would like to get some help.
I am trying to write a function meeting the following criteria:
* Moves all files (total of 3 files with different extensions)at a local folder (C:GraffitiWork) to a mapped network folder (that is persistent in drive lettering)and then
* replaces the files in the local folder with new ones that are blank (from another local folder named C:GraffitiMaster)
I have looked at the tips using the SHFileOperation function but when I looked at the msdn site, it states that "...you cannot use SHFileOperation to move special folders from a local drive to a remote computer by specifying a network path."
I need to have this done in order for a project to transfer these files on the command of the user to the network folder and then replace it with blank files for the next day's work.
Any help will be appreciated

Copy Folder With FTP
Can you copy a folder to a web server via FTP? Or do i have to make a new dir on the web server then copy each file?
Copy Folder
I have a situation where I want to copy a folder and all its subfolders and files to another directory. It's fairly basic code.
my_path2 = source directory
my_save2 = target directory
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set a = fso.copyfolder(my_path2, my_save2)
The problem is that it seems to work except when it's done I get a 'Type Mismatch' error. I'm confused as to how it can work and not work at the same time. Any help would be much appreciated.
P.S. This message board has provided me with tons of help. Thanks to everyone.
Copy A Folder
I am very new to VB in Excel, and I was wondering how you would use this:
Code:
FileSystemObject.CopyFolder "c:mydocumentsletters*", "c: empfolder"
to copy a folder to a different directory...I don't understand the FileSystemObject part...does anyone have an example of what the code would look like to actually copy a folder from one spot to another?
Thanks,

Folder Copy
I have already made a program which i use as a file explorer to copy files etc, although i would like to be able to implement code which will allow me to copy the whole folder at once,
Here is the code i have at the moment.
VB Code:
Option Explicit Private Declare Function ShellExecute Lib "shell32.dll" Alias "ShellExecuteA" _(ByVal hwnd As Long, ByVal lpOperation As String, ByVal lpFile As String, _ByVal lpParameters As String, ByVal lpDirectory As String, _ByVal nShowCmd As Long) As Long Private Const SW_SHOWNORMAL = 1 Private Sub Drive1_Change()Dir1.Path = Drive1.DriveEnd Sub Private Sub Dir1_Change()File1.Path = Dir1.PathEnd Sub Private Sub File1_DblClick()ShellExecute Me.hwnd, vbNullString, File1.filename, vbNullString, "E:", _SW_SHOWNORMALEnd Sub Private Sub Command1_Click()FileCopy Text1, Text2End Sub Private Sub Timer1_Timer()Text1.Text = File1.Path & "" & File1End Sub Private Sub Form_Load()Drive1.Drive = ("I:")Text2.Text = "H:School Stuff"End Sub
And there is also one module which is also below.
VB Code:
Declare Function CopyFile Lib "kernel32" Alias "CopyFileA" (ByVal _lpExistingFileName As String, ByVal lpNewFileName As String, ByVal _bFailIfExists As Long) As Long
Thanks in advance
