moving and copying files
I am writing a short little program to move/copy files from one workstation to another and I have several questions that I have to get answered. The first is:
1. How do I get just the path from a common dialog open? I like the way it looks and the fact that you do not have to map a network drive beforehand.
2. How do I scan for files? I would like to be able to move/copy all files that match a certain criteria (say *.log or *.doc) and then write to a log that I moved/copied so an so.
3. How do I scan all sub directories(for question 2)
4. How do I tell if a file is in use/open?
Any help would be appreciated.
