Thread: Backup files from one folder to other date separated folders

    Smile Backup files from one folder to other date separated folders

    Hi guys. I'm totally new to VBA, and this forum.
    I need help with a script.
    I have a folder with txt and xml files, and I need to move files from that folder to backup folder.
    The script should run twice a week and should create (in the destination folder) subfolder with date in format like 2018.12 (year and month), and move files there. If there is already a subfolder with current month's date, than it should just move files there.
    Any help will be appreciated. Thank you.

    Hi AlexPerry!
    Something like below:
    Sub test()
    Dim sourcePath$, fileName$, targetPath$
    sourcePath = "C:\abc\sourcefolder\"
    targetPath = "C:\abc\backup\" & Format(Date, "yyyy.mm") & "\"
    If Dir(targetPath) = "" Then MkDir targetPath
    ChDir (sourcePath)
    fileName = Dir("*.xls")
    Name sourcePath & fileName As targetPath & fileName
    Do
      fileName = Dir
      If fileName = "" Then Exit Do
      Name sourcePath & fileName As targetPath & fileName
    Loop
    End Sub
