RoboCopy VBS Shell Script

 

This by request VBS script will provide you with an example of how to use RoboCopy in a VBS script with source and destination folder input dialog boxes as well as hard coding the RoboCopy command line switches opposed to issuing the commands from the command prompt.

 

Note: This script assumes that RoboCopy is located in the same directory folder as the VBS script.

 

VBS Script:

 

Set objShell = CreateObject("Wscript.Shell")

 

objSource = InputBox("Enter Source")

objDestination = InputBox("Enter Destination")

 

objCommand = "RoboCopy.Exe " & Chr(34) & objSource & Chr(34) & " " & Chr(34) & objDestination & Chr(34) & " /e /r:1 /w:2"

objShell.Run(objCommand)

 

MsgBox "Done"
