Hello all, i just need little help and hope someone will help me

I know how to copy a single file to another location like this:

Code: Select all

my.computer.filesystem.copyfile("file location", "new folder location")

Ok, now what about if i wanted to copy ( Multiple ) files together?
If I had a Listbox with files locations like this

C:/file.exe
C:/text.txt
C:/pic.jpg

I want to copy them all to the new location how?

Thanks

Edit:
I also want to have a progress bar, which moves to 100% when copying the files
thannks!

I tried this and it seems to work

Code: Select all

Imports System.IO
Public Class Form1

    Private Sub Button1_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
        ProgressBar1.Maximum = ListBox1.Items.Count
        For i As Integer = 0 To ListBox1.Items.Count - 1
            Dim thestrings() As String = ListBox1.Items(i).ToString.Split("\")
            Dim filename As String = thestrings(thestrings.Count - 1)
            FileCopy(ListBox1.Items(i), "C:\Test\" & filename)
            ProgressBar1.Value += i
        Next
    End Sub
End Class

these are the items in my listbox
C:\Users\josh\Users.txt
C:\Users\josh\Text.txt
C:\Users\josh\Mail.txt

And this is what the program looks like


Hope it works for you

Wait, are you saying you want it to copy/paste the file, or move it entirely?

[CodenBoy]

Sorry for being noob but thanks for bogoh7 and what i want is

Im making a program in vb 2010 express and what i want is i want to make a backup of a file to another location. so it will keep the file but just Copy,paste it to another location.

Im using a Listbox ( with file names in lines ) and i want progress bar to move while im copying the files or backing up.

Thanks ( sorry for my bad english ) loove;

Do you mean hotkeys copy and paste? if you want this you can use

Code: Select all

My.Computer.clipboard

If you want program copy & paste this is probably what you should use
It does copy files from one place to another, but the files have to already exist.

by the way i made some slight code changes

Code: Select all

  ProgressBar1.Maximum = ListBox1.Items.Count
        For i As Integer = 0 To ListBox1.Items.Count - 1
            Dim thestrings() As String = ListBox1.Items(i).ToString.Split("\")
            Dim filename As String = thestrings(thestrings.Length - 1)
            FileCopy(ListBox1.Items(i), "C:\Test\" & filename)
            ProgressBar1.Value = i + 1
        Next
        MsgBox("File Completed Copying", MsgBoxStyle.Information, "Done!")

if this isn't what you mean, examples?


Unfortunantly i got rid of my skype account for i do not use it anymore
