Thanks in Advance for any help.

I would like to create a small app that sits on a jump drive and copies the
files from 2-5 different folders, to specific locations on the main computer.

I would like the app to work on several different computers.

So this is basically automating some copy and paste functions.

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

Hi Dave,

Write a batch file and put it on the jump drive. First check that the
destination directories exist, and if they don't create them, then copy the
files. Something like this:

@echo off
if exist C:\dir_a goto :copyfile
md c:\dir_a
:copyfile
copy /y \jump_dir\*.* C:\dir_a\

Simple and exactly what I needed - Thank you very much.


If I want to try to build something a little fancier, that has a bar showing
the status of the file copy, is there a simple way to build this out ?

Thanks Again

Hi,

Not without getting into something much more complex.
