Default copy files by name patterns with wildcard

Thanks Gary, now I have two options:
1. Copy in a loop.
2. Wait for a response from a windows scripting expert.

Regards,
Stefi

i don't think there's any built in way, but someone that knows windows scripting
should know how to. the filecopy statement works with single files as far as i
know.

you say you know how to loop, so i didn't post any other solutions.

Hi All,

Can I copy files via VBA by name patterns with wildcard characters like in
DOS:
copy filename*.ext ...
I know how to find file names matching the pattern and copy them
individually (in a loop), my question is that can it be done with a single
statement?

Thanks,
Stefi
