excluding directory - 10/1/2004 5:45:53 AM

I need to copy a folder. Inside the folder there is one folder that I can't copy, don't want/need to copy. The other problem is it's not always named the same thing. It will always have test in it, it just could be c:\move\test, c:\move\testing, c:\move\test1.

Is there a way I can move the rest of the folders in it and tell the script to bypass any folder with the word test in it???

Thank you for any help!

One way is to do an instr, I have just thrown the instr line together so check the syntax to make sure it is correct.

quote:
Dim fso, f, f1, s, sf
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set f = fso.GetFolder(folderspec)
Set sf = f.SubFolders
For Each f1 in sf
If instr(lcase(f1.name),"test") = FALSE
'Do the copy
Next

Or use xcopy with an exclude file

quote:
WshShell.Run "cmd /c c:\move d:\Move\ /e /c /y /exclude:c:\excludefile.txt",1,true

The exclude file would contain test and it should exclude any form of test, but I have not tested this.
