dont forget to use /E parameter with robocopy
robocopy /E -- Copies subdirectories. Note that this option includes empty directories. For additional information
Also if you want your file to be alone in a folder and everything else to be removed then use /MIR
robocopy /MOV /E /MIR

Hi Zaxos,
thanks, yes i looked at all the /command options and i don't need /E as there is only one file to be moved at a time.
But thanks again to get me on the track. It first gave me a headage as windows did it fine and livecode not. Luckely found how it worked
.
edit ---by the way i tried the /NP and /njs options so maybe there was no dos box pop-up, but it did'nt help --- edit

Hi Simon,
well your not making only noise at all.
I will try your code tomorrow.
I checked in the files what i did and no i did not do what you did with separating the filename.
Allthough i am verry happy how Robocopy is working now, i still would like to see it working without an extra temporary dos box popping up on the screen.
It looks somewhat more beautifull, but if it's still not working then i'll stick to the Robocopy thingy
I will let you all know tomorrow if this works.
Thanks a lot for all your help, you all!

Everyone shhhhhhh....
Let sphere try my code first, if it doesn't work then we can say how to hide that dos box.

Hi Simon,

so what i forgot to do was to put &tName in
Code: Select all
put url("file:" & tCopyFile) into url("file://myServer/path/folder/" & tName)
thanks again!

Don't forget to use BINFILE if you are not dealing with PLAIN TEXT files!
-> put url("BINFILE:"...

But thanks anyway Klaus!
