copyFiles.C File Reference

Detailed Description

View in nbviewer Open in SWAN Example of script showing how to copy all objects (including directories) from a source file.

For each input file, a new directory is created in the current directory with the name of the source file. After the execution of:

root [0] .x copyFiles.C

the file result.root will contain 4 subdirectories: "tot100.root", "hsimple.root", "hs1.root","hs2.root"

//loop on all entries of this directory
TKey *key;
//Loop in reverse order to make sure that the order of cycles is
//preserved.

// snapshots of the TTree meta data.
