Dear tutor!
Here is my working code - to copy files from one drive to another.
I however want to copy selective files.
For example I like to copy only .txt files only from the source to destination,
and not other types of files.
How could I do this selective copying?
Thanks in advance for the hints.
Best,
Kumar.
