FileInfo.CopyTo

In VB I use FileInfo.CopyTo and get an error when the destination file
already exists. What do I use to copy to a destination and write over the
existing file?

Thanks,
Jon

Has anyone had any luck getting this CopyTo method to work? I can iterate through a MatchCollection and move each Match.Value to the System.Array without a problem. I just can't figure out why the CopyTo method will not work. Example: // Find all the Tables in an html string (page) MatchCollection mc = Regex.Matches(html, "<table.+</table"); string t = new string;
