Yes there is, not sure if you like the answer though. Since I see from your post that you're in a windoze machine I'll give you the answer for windows:<br />
<br />
system(&quot;xcopy /s...other options...args..&quot;);<br />
<br />
You can also use CreateProcessEx() or something like that instead of system() but the net result is more or less the same.<br />
<br />
Under unix the system(&quot;cp -r source... dest&quot;); should work.<br />
<br />
This was perhaps not the answer you were looking for but it does the job.<br />
<br />
You can also use FindFirstFile()/FindNextFi<wbr />le() and copy the directory that way. Check the flag ISDIR for directory, if directory you copy it by recursively calling yourself to copy it. If it is a plain regular file you call CopyFile() to copy the file.<br />

Hi,<br />
<br />
I was just wondering if there is a function to copy a whole folder...I know there is CopyFile.<br />
<br />
BOOL CopyFile(<br />
&nbsp; LPCTSTR lpExistingFileName,<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; // pointer to name of an existing file<br />
&nbsp; LPCTSTR lpNewFileName, &nbsp;// pointer to filename to copy to<br />
&nbsp; BOOL bFailIfExists &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;// flag for operation if file exists<br />
);<br />
&nbsp;<br />
But I can't find anything to copy a whole folder...<br />
<br />
Thanks in Advance..<br />

Hi,

I was just wondering if there is a function to copy a whole folder...I know there is CopyFile.

BOOL CopyFile(
  LPCTSTR lpExistingFileName,
                          // pointer to name of an existing file
  LPCTSTR lpNewFileName,  // pointer to filename to copy to
  BOOL bFailIfExists      // flag for operation if file exists
);
 
But I can't find anything to copy a whole folder...

Thanks in Advance..

FILE FUNCTIONS: is there a function to copy a whole folder?

C++ is an intermediate-level general-purpose programming language, not to be confused with C or C#. It was developed as a set of extensions to the C programming language to improve type-safety and add support for automatic resource management, object-orientation, generic programming, and exception handling, among other features.
