bigdaddybryce Posted August 2, 2004 Report Share Posted August 2, 2004 I have three files that I need to copy into over 1500 folders that reside in one directory. Is there an easier way that right clicking and pasting the three files into each folder? Thanks, Bryce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

expertec Posted August 2, 2004 Report Share Posted August 2, 2004 Hmm... interesting one. Can I ask why you need to do this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigdaddybryce Posted August 2, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2004 I work in an engineering firm and we have digitized our entire tracings (blueprints) library from the last 40 years. We have over 3,000 folders, however, I am testing a script on about half of them. The folders are named according to the project that they contain. I have a script that will make searching and indexing the database much much easier, but each folder needs to have the index.php file in it.I could copy and paste into each folder, but that will take forever.
