Hi,

Try this..

var mySource = Folder.selectDialog("Please select a folder");

var myinddfolder = new Folder("change myDestination path" + "/myDestination"); // Provide your myDestination path

if (!myinddfolder.exists) myinddfolder.create();

var myFiles = mySource.getFiles( "*.indd" );

for ( i = myFiles.length-1; i >= 0 ; i-- )

{

  var myResult = myFiles.copy(myinddfolder +"/" + myFiles.name);

}

Why ask when you can see for yourself? InDesign ExtendScript API (12.0) : File.

Hi John,

First of all credits to: Kasyan servetsky

if(my result) my files.remove();

Above code remove the all files in my source folder.
