Hi

Unsure if this is the right "chat area' for my issue ? But thanks for your help anyhoo.

I have the following 4 files on a usb stick in a folder called 'test data':-
Read me.txt
Expand exe
Startrun.doc
Addsum.pdf.


There are other files in same directory that have the same extensions but only the four above need to be copied to
C:\temp

I have searched the web but I either not find or too complex.

Please can some help.


Thank you.
