Copy files and text-list

[Silvia]

Hi everybody   ,
I'm trying to create a little program that creates backups. Anyway, I have 2 troubles with this:
1. I created a "Browse" button where the user chooses what he wants to copy, once did this I want to display the chosen files in a text-list but I cannot understand how to do this,
2. When creating the backup I need to copy the selected files in a new directory automatically created named with the curent date/time (if possible  :huh: ), but I don't know how to copy files (any type of file) and create this directory.
Thank you very much,
Silvia

P.S.: Ah, I forgot to tell you, I'm working on Windows XP with REBOL/View 1.3.1.3.1

The easiest way to copy a file (or perhaps the only way, unless you go platform-specific with Call) is to read it and then write it.

You may also need to create the destination folder.

Code:

if not exists? new-path [
  make-dir/deep new-path
  ]

file-contents: read/binary join old-path file-name
write/binary join new-path file-name file-contents
