I've been racking my brains over this one - seems like it should be so easy
but I haven't been able to do it using copy, xcopy, or anything else.

I need to copy all .html files within a directory and its subdirectories.
Anyone know how to do this in vbs or from a command prompt?



Thanks.

How about this command?
xcopy /s /c /y "c:\My Files\*.html" "c:\My Destination\"

Type xcopy /? at the Command Prompt to see its many switches.

Thank you Pegasus! I had tried many variations of xcopy commands, but didn't
realize I needed the /s parameter.
