Copying Entire folder

#1 · November 3, 2023, 4:05 pm

I am trying to make a updater that will copy a folder and replace the existing one. Is there a way to copy all files and folders from one folder?

I was thinking about doing a "FileList" action then parsing out each file string but how would I go about doing that?

Thanks!

In order to suggest the most optimal method of achieving your objectives, can you elaborate on the following ? ...

a) let us say that your source folder is called jaySource ...

- are there (sub) folders within jaySource ?
- if so, do you need to parse through all files within such sub-folders too ?

b) let us say that the target folder is jayTarget ...

- will there be files in jaySource that are not in jayTarget ?
- will there be files in jayTarget that are not in jaySource ?
- will such files (and any sub-folders) need to be retained ?

The answers to the above will determine if your objectives can be achieved with NeoScript commands ... or will it be better to (Run) a DOS command like XCOPY.
