This a a huge thank you to Morten Hattesen for this little trick:
I have a situation where I needed to create a fairly complex directory structure on the fly, them move a bunch of files around, then delete the original source files. Shell() was not working because the failing if the dir structure included more than 5 sub-directories. Finding and moving files and directories was turning out to be a huge pain. I found Morten’s post and all the pain went away.
Batch file processing works a charm. I can create customized batch files on the fly that contain MdKir, XCopy, and RmDir commands that allow me to process entire directory trees with a just couple of commands - SWEET!
Thank you, thank you, thank you!
