This code gives examples to copy folders using CMD.exe (the windows command shell)
Do not just copy/paste and run this code.
These are examples ONLY and were written for my own setup.
Since learning to use Files, and info$() to copy an entire folder can be a daunting task,
this will get the job done.
I'll be writing a function using JB code someday. Until then this will suffice.

end 'remove this when you have read and understood the following:
'Copy a folder including all files (+ system or hidden) and sub folders
'if folders on path don't exist, they get created
'Make sure you change source$ to a path that exists on your system and
'dest$ to to a folder or drive of your choice
'Do not just copy/paste and run this code.
'Here are a few examples.
q$ = chr$(34)
run "cmd.exe /c Xcopy ";q$;"C:\test";q$;" ";q$;"l:\test";q$;" /R /E /C /I /H /S /Q"
'or
q$ = chr$(34)
source$ = "c:\test" 'change your source file path here - same for the other examples
dest$ = "l:\test\test" 'change your destination file path here - same for the other examples
run "cmd.exe /c Xcopy ";q$;source$;q$;" ";q$;dest$;q$;" /R /E /C /I /H /S /Q"
'or make sub
source$ = "c:\test"
dest$ = "l:\test\test\test"
call copyFolder source$, dest$
sub copyFolder source$, dest$
q$ = chr$(34)
'global source$, dest$
run "cmd.exe /c Xcopy ";q$;source$;q$;" ";q$;dest$;q$;" /R /E /C /I /H /S /Q"
end sub
'or make a function
source$ = "c:\test"
dest$ = "l:\test\test\test\test"
a$ = copy$(source$, dest$)
end
function copy$(source$, dest$)
