Copy Files

[riyazasma1009]

Hi All,

I have a requirement of copying the files from one folder to the other without using any macro for the same.

I have used the below command to achieve the same:

EXECUTE cmd.exe /C CP 'C:\Desktop\POC\qvdtest.qvw' 'C:\Desktop\POC\Copy Files'

Here my source folder is: C:\Desktop\POC\

File to be copied: qvdtest.qvw

Destination folder is: C:\Desktop\POC\Copy Files

The above script executes successfully without any errors but the files are mot being copied to the destination folder.

Can anyone please help me with the same.

Thanks,

Asma
