#73886 - 2003-03-05 03:37 PM Converting this XCopy32 command to KiXtart
kncowans kncowans Getting the hang of it Registered: 2000-11-11 Posts: 98 Loc: Doncaster, UK	Hello all I am trying to replace all occurences of XCopy32 within my scripts to KiXtart especially now that Copy supports Subdirectories and Hidden Files. I need to convert the following XCopy32 command to KiXtart but am having very little success. XCopy32 "Source" "Destination" /k /e /h /i /q /d I can figure out how to convert all of the switches except for /d which copies only newer files. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance Kevin _________________________ Kevin Cowans Senior ICT Technician The Armthorpe School

However, using XCOPY for this task is definitely faster and more efficient than rewriting this functionality into a UDF. As for the structure of a potential UDF. You will have to enumerate each file/folder in the source directory, check whether a potentially existing file inthe destination directory fits the date/time constraints (use DATEMATH() UDF)) and then copy the file/folder. Definitely not efficient. _________________________ There are two types of vessels, submarines and targets.

It looks as if the UDF idea is out the window for now then, no time to write it. One question. When the XCopy32 command runs I get a minimised window in the bottom corner of the screen. This is what I want to get rid of. Any suggestions as to how I can suppress the console window from opening?
