[SOLVED] filecopy command

[kadil]

Hello,

I am trying to use the filecopy command in linux, and keep getting errors with the path string format that I am using. The way I am writing the command is:

filecopy "/home/kadil/test.txt", "/home/kadil/other_directory/text.txt"

It is probably a stupid mistake, but I cannot see the problem yet.

Any assistance would be appreciated.

Regards,
Kim

This isn't a linux forum you know....

But I think you probably need to use cp instead of filecopy, and don't specify the filename inthe target.

so instead of using the oobasic filecopy command, use the shell("cp ....") command. That'll do. I would rather my app be more portable, but I can code around it.

Thanks.
