Copy Files Problem

[oded]

I have created a very simple macro which should copy a complete folder (with all it's subfolders) to another location.

First time (when the location folder is empty) it works flawlessly.

However when I try to run this macro again I get the following error:

"Cannot copy XYZ: The file name, directory name or volumed label syntax is incorrect."

I have many other macros which do just the same and all work fine.

Any idea what the problem might be?

 

Thanks,

Oded.

Hmm. We may need to see your code posted here.

 

I tried this with success, and in fact under no circumstances can I get this to fail. Works if the destination directory exists or does not exists, works if none/some/all files are already in the destination directory, works no matter how I manipulate the files in the source directory:

 

From Script -> Commands -> Files/Folders -> Copy File or Files:

 

Ensure radio button "Copy File or Files" is selected

Ensure File(s) Path/Name is a valid source directory

Ensure "New Name:" is a valid destination directory (does not have to pre-exist)

Ensure "Recurse into subfolders, if using wildcard names" is selected

 

Here's the source code, and below that a screen shot of my selections.

<DOFILE:05:NY:C:\Documents and Settings\rolf\Desktop\Source-Directory>C:\Documents and Settings\rolf\Desktop\Destination-Directory>

Hello rolf,

 

Sorry for the delay in responding.

 

I have chosen "Copy file or files."

 

This is my File(s) Path/Name: \\Ron\c\Documents and Settings\Administrator\My Documents

 

This is my New Name: E:\Ron backup\

 

The point is that the file which causes the error (XYZ in my example) is a valid file which is located in the folder I want to copy.

 

Best regards,

Oded
