VB script to get username of machine and copy files to that location from another
Hi all
i have a need to use a vb script to copy some files to c:\users\USERNAME\test"
so i know i can run the following to get the username
Set objNetwork = CreateObject("Wscript.Network")
but how can i then incorporate that so it copies files from say
"C:test\test1.txt"
"c:\test\test2.txt"
to c:\users\USERNAME\test\
where USERNAME is the variable i have captured above
any help would be greatly appreciated
regards

I'm not sure if this will completely satisfy your needs, but as you have written your request this will suffice:
strFile = "c:\test\test.txt"
Set objNetwork = CreateObject("WScript.Network")
strUsername = objNetwork.UserName
strCopyPath = "C:\USERS\" & strUsername & "\TEST\"
set objFSO=CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
objFSO.CopyFile strFile, strCopyPath, true
Change the value of strFile to the path and file you want to copy.
If the destination path of C:\USERS\%USERNAME%\TEST does not exist there will be an error.

is there no simpler way of just getting the username adding the variable found in?
so for example
Set objNetwork = CreateObject("Wscript.Network")
then something to copy "c:\test.test.txt" to "c:\users\USERNAME\Test" - keane2012 10 years ago
there is a lot of help for that type of script out there.
