Which Command line to use in VC program to copy files from drive C: to Drive A

Dear All,

I am trying to write a code for which on click of a button I want to copy files from drive C: to drive A:

I do not know which command to use. Is it something like "ShellCopy "
Pleaee write me this line of code if you have come across it.
If you can please write a dummy code which I can just copy.

you can use the SHFileOPeration API and use the FO_COPY flag

Dear Sir, I have used the following line and I get errors please see if you could help me Thanks.

SHFileOperation(NULL, FO_COPY, _T("\\SOFTWARE\\ide\\idebat.bat"),"a:\\",NULL);

try this

SHFileOperation(NULL, FO_COPY, _T("\\SOFTWARE\\ide\\idebat.bat"),"a:\\idebat.bat",NULL);



and always check for errors using GetLastError and FormatMessage to get a readable error text.

Hi Qasim,

of course you get an error message becuase SHFileOperation takes only one argument of type LPSHFILEOPSTRUCT, a poiner to a structure. But why don't you use the API function CopyFile simply?
