Hi,

I have been tasked with something that I find difficult and need some
help. I need to compare to folder structures (Files and Subfolders and
files) from a project that is wrapping up. What they have asked if I
can do a script that compares 2 folders in different locations, and
copies the original folder, subfolder and files and overwrites the
ones in the project folder which are identical structure and then
compares again the 2 folders and deletes all the files in the project
folder that does not exist in the original folder??

Now I have done a script that will allow to go through and report back
in excel on the folder and subs and detirmine the folder sizes but not
detirmine the files..

Can anyone help me out on this???



Thanks
Darrin

This particular wheel has been invented some time ago by the authors of
robocopy.exe, which you can download from the Microsoft site.
