Copies a specified file or folder from one location to another.
object.Copy( destination[, overwrite] ); |
Arguments
- object
-
Required. Always the name of a File or Folder object.
- destination
-
Required. Destination where the file or folder is to be copied. Wildcard characters are not allowed.
- overwrite
-
Optional. Boolean value that is True (default) if existing files or folders are to be overwritten; False if they are not.
Remarks
The results of the Copy method on a File or Folder are identical to operations performed using FileSystemObject.CopyFile or FileSystemObject.CopyFolder where the file or folder referred to by object is passed as an argument. You should note, however, that the alternative methods are capable of copying multiple files or folders.
Example
The following example illustrates the use of the Copy method.
| JScript |  Copy Code |
|---|---|
var fso, f;
fso = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject");
f = fso.CreateTextFile("c:\\testfile.txt", true);
f.WriteLine("This is a test.");
f.Close();
f = fso.GetFile("c:\\testfile.txt");
f.Copy("c:\\windows\\desktop\\test2.txt");
| |
| Visual Basic Script | Copy Code |
|---|---|
Dim fso, MyFile
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set MyFile = fso.CreateTextFile("c:\testfile.txt", True)
MyFile.WriteLine("This is a test.")
MyFile.Close
Set MyFile = fso.GetFile("c:\testfile.txt")
MyFile.Copy ("c:\windows\desktop\test2.txt") | |
