Input Parameters

FSSourceName	Specifies the source file or source folder for DIAdem file and folder commands. String variable Note  If you do not specify a path, DIAdem searches for the file or the folder in the NAVIGATOR user and library path. Note  In many commands, you can use the wildcard * for any number of characters, and the wildcard ? for one character.
FSTargetName	Specifies target folders or target files for DIAdem file and folder commands. String variable Note  If you use the FSTargetName variable in the DataFileCopy command, you only can assign one path to the variable. If you use the FSTargetName variable in the DataFileRename command, you only can assign one filename without an extension to the variable. Note  In many commands, you can use the wildcard * for any number of characters, and the wildcard ? for one character.
[FSProgressBar]	Specifies whether the progress bar, which the operating system displays during long operations, is visible. If you assign the value TRUE to the FSProgressBar variable, DIAdem does not display the progress bar. The default value for the FSProgressBar variable is FALSE. Boolean variable

Note  If you use wildcards in the last path component of the FSSourceName variable, DIAdem copies the specified folder with its subfolders. If you do not use a wildcard in the last path component of the FSSourceName variable, DIAdem only copies the subfolders but does not generate the generic folder.

Note  DIAdem copies a folder into a local read-only folder without a confirmation prompt. DIAdem cannot copy folders into a read only folder in a network.

Note  DIAdem terminates the FolderCopy command as soon as an error occurs. DIAdem does not undo previous changes.

Examples

The following example copies the C:\MyScripts folder with all its subfolders and files into the C:\temp folder.

Call FolderCopy("C:\MyScripts","C:\temp\")

dd.FolderCopy("C:\\MyScripts","C:\\temp\") 

The following example copies the subfolders of the C:\MyScripts folder with all its files into the C:\temp folder. In this example DIAdem does not create a C:\temp\Myscripts folder.
