The CopyTree function copies a directory tree. If the target path does not exist, this function creates it.
Function format:
CopyTree( source as String, target as String, overwrite as Boolean) as Boolean CopyTree(source as String, target as String) as Boolean
  • source
    This parameter indicates the name of an existing directory.
  • target
    This parameter indicates the name of the new directory.
  • overwrite
    This parameter specifies if the function overwrites an existing target.
The default, TRUE, overwrites an existing target. If the target file already exists, FALSE causes the function to fail.
Example:
This example copies the clientws directory tree to CliWS.
CopyTree("c:\clientws", "c:\cliws")
On successful completion, the function returns TRUE; otherwise, returns FALSE.
