I am using VBScript to copy files using xcopy. The problem is that the folder path has to be entered by the user. Assuming I put that path in a variable, say h, how do I use this variable in the xcopy command?

Here is the code I tried:

Dim WshShell, oExec, g, h
h = "D:\newfolder"

g = "xcopy $h D:\y\ /E"
Set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")

Set oExec = WshShell.Exec(g)

I also tried &h but it did not work. Could anyone help me work out the correct syntax? Any help is appreciated.
