Creatin a folder and copying files from another folder

[Mex_New_User]

I'm trying to create a macro using an input box to determine the name of a folder in macro express 3.5.

 

For example, an input box pops up and I can type in "A". I want to then use the inputted text and make it the new folder name under a specific directory. I then want to copy all the files from an existing folder over to the newly created folder A.

How would I got about creating a macro like this?

If I understand correctly, this is a very straightforward process.

 

There are files in a folder C:\files\documents and you want to copy them to C:\important\stuff (stuff will be that variable)

 

First, you want to define a variable using the Variable Set String command, and set value T1 from prompt.

 

Then you want to do a Copy File or Files command, where the first path is C:\files\documents and the new name is C:\important\%T1%\

 

Then when you run the macro, if you put in "stuff" into the prompt, it will copy the folder. There is also a checkbox to go into the subfolders if you want those too.
