Is there any way to do a file copy with kixtart that searches out and copies a spcified file from all the subfolders of the one i specify??

ex.
i want to copy all *.doc files on the c: drive to an h: drive (network)

if i use;
copy c:\*.doc h:\DOCBACKUP

it only searches c:, and nothing below it.

(MCA: complete subject)

Grab the and of the DIR*() UDFs in the UDF section. Then enumerate the requested list of files and copy them to the destination. Be aware, that what you are trying to do will take a long time if there are a lot of directories because everysingle directory must be scanned.

It might be easier to require all documents to be saved in a specific location. Then you just need to copy the parent folder of that location.
