Why does this not work?

[selkov]

I am trying to copy a file name, create a new directory names after that file and move the file there.

 

Clipboard Empty

Clipboard Start Copy

Clipboard End Copy

Variable Set String %T1% from Clipboard

Move File or Files: ""%t1%"

Try Clipboard Copy (CTRL-c) instead of Clipboard Start Copy / Clipboard End Copy.

 

I can't quite figure out what the Start Copy / End Copy do, but it is NOT a standard copy-to-clipboard.

Tried that too.

Same error.

Invalid characters in file name.

I think it must be copying the FILE and not the file name.

 

 

Any other way to do this:

I want to create a new folder named the same as the file and then move the file there.

I suggest you use the file manipulation commands instead of trying to copy things from Explorer.
