Hi All,
I need to run the windows copy command from command prompt to copy several
folders and files in specific folder to another folder
I am running following command
C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator>copy D:\vobs d:
D:\vobs\*
The system cannot find the file specified.
0 file(s) copied.
C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator>
plz let me know what is the wrong

Assuming that you need to do this inside a Perl program, you might
consider using File::Xcopy.
use File::Xcopy;
syscopy("D:/vobs", "D:");
Or better yet:
use File::Copy::Recursive qw(dircopy);
dircopy($source, $target);
Then you don't have to rely on how windows decides to do a copy, which
appears to be the problem, plus it's 100% portable...
