| | Please help with folder search and copy script Hi VBS-Grouü, i have to find a sollution for the following, but i am afraid that this task is too hard for me as a vbs newbie... There is a folder which contains files like "12345678_BlaBla.doc". Or Folder\Subfolder\12345678_BlaBla.doc There is an additional destination folder-structure like this: FolderName1\12345678\serverdocuments.doc FolderName1\45642354\serverdocuments.doc FolderName2\12345678\serverdocuments.doc FolderName3\43233242\serverdocuments.doc What i have to do is to go throu a path (Structure), dake the first 8 letters/numers of the filenames, search for folders with the same name as the 8letters/numbers part of the filename, and copy the file in each folder that matches. Thank you all in advance Kind Regards Thomas |

What if the file already exists in one or the other target folder? Also: While the name "serverdocuments.doc" is permissible for a folder name, it is rather unusual to give a folder a ".doc" extension. Is this really what you mean? Lastly: Does it matter if your source file resides in "C:\Folder" or in "C:\Folder\Subfolder"? In other words, is the file supposed to be copied to the same target folder, regardless of its source folder? |
