    Problems getting FileCopy to Work!

    Hello! I have recently been trying to create a program that can copy certain files from an IM directory to another directory (ideally a new one) I have been searching MSDN and while I have found an example for the File Copy function for win32, I am still stuck. Is it possible to copy C:\mydocs\list.xml to C:\newdir? Any help at all would be great! Thanks

    Steve

    see MSDN I've used it on occasion using VC++ 6.0 and works ok for me.

    Create the directory first, then copy the file.
    Code:
    if (CreateDirectory("c:\\newdir", NULL) == 0)
    {
       cout << "Unable to create directory." << endl;
       return 1;
    }
    //Now copy file
