List of folders to be copied automatically

[KoenFugro]

Hi people,

I have in MS Excel a list of folders, some empty, some not, that needs to be copied to another folder, eg s:\temp
The list of files aere in column A of excel, containing a complete path.

Is there a way that I can do this without user interaction?
I also have an Excel sheet with files that needs to be deleted, but I cannot change this in order to work...
Can someone help me on this one?

Thanks in advance!

This is not too difficult to do with a macro (VBA code) right from Excel.  You'd loop thru the list, doing a copy at each pass thru the loop.

Yes I know that...
But I am really not good in programming...

The code I use for deleting files is also a makro..
But how do I make a makro that does what I want?

Is there really nobody that can help me on this?

  Here's a quick AutoHotkey script.

Change the two first lines of the script. Also, the Excel can only contain one column.
