problem in using SHFILEOPSTRUCT and SHFileOperation

I am trying to use the SHFileOperation() function to copy a folder from one directory to another directory.



I wrote the below code using this link: Copy a Folder.



But I get error code 0x7B, and when I searched for information about the error, this page says: "The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect."



I wrote the filename and directory name correctly, but I don't know why this code can't copy the ty folder from the D drive to another folder called secondfolder on the D drive.



Sorry, I searched about this a lot in your website, but I didn't get any answer to my issue.



#include <iostream>
#include <Windows.h>

using namespace std;

int main()

system("color 0A")
SHFILEOPSTRUCT fo;
memset(&fo, 0, sizeof(fo));
fo.hwnd = 0;
fo.wFunc = FO_COPY;
fo.pFrom = L"D:\ty\*";
fo.pTo = L"D:\secondfolder\*";
fo.fFlags = FOF_NOCONFIRMMKDIR

  • @AlexF read the documentation. Extra null terminators are required on pTo and pFrom, as they are double null terminated lists. fo.pFrom = L"D:\ty\*"; fo.pTo = L"D:\secondfolder\";

  • @AlexF read the documentation. Extra null terminators are required on pTo and pFrom, as they are double null terminated lists. fo.pFrom = L"D:\ty\*"; fo.pTo = L"D:\secondfolder\";

You need to remove the * from pTo:



fo.pTo = L"D:\secondfolder\";


Also, you are trying to copy only the contents of ty, not copy ty itself. If you want that, remove the * from pFrom as well:



fo.pFrom = L"D:\ty\";

You need to remove the * from pTo:



fo.pTo = L"D:\secondfolder\";


Also, you are trying to copy only the contents of ty, not copy ty itself. If you want that, remove the * from pFrom as well:



fo.pFrom = L"D:\ty\";
