6th paragraph |
Text reads as follows:
Copy all .doc files in all subdirectories of c:Documents and Settings to drive D:
for /r "c:Documents and Settings" %%i in (*.doc) do copy %%i d:
This will fail; every attempt to copy a file will result in "The system cannot find
the file specified" because the full path of each file will contain the directory
"Documents and Settings," which has spaces in it. The variable %%i after the copy
command needs to be surrounded with double quotes: "%%i" (Interestingly, the first
%%i does NOT need double quotes.)

First example of code |
In the example given where the script goes through the windows directory and prints
the size in bytes of all the sub-folders, you have the line:
"For each objSub In objFolder.SubFolders()"
which does not work. I believe this line should be:
"For each objSub In objFolder.SubFolders"
This does work. I think the problem is that SubFolders is a property and not a method.
