#196853 - 2009-11-27 11:33 AM echo pipe input
CrimInalA CrimInalA Fresh Scripter Registered: 2007-07-05 Posts: 18 Loc: ko	I am trying to run this command in a kix script : Code: echo F \| XCOPY /Y "\\server\file.ini" "%windir%\file.ini" The echo F \| is needed , because otherwise the xcopy command hangs on the question if I want to copy a F(ile) or D(irectory) . I tried Code: SHELL 'echo F \| XCOPY /Y "\\server\filename1.ini" "%windir%\filename2.ini"' But it's not working unfortunately . I know the error is somewhere in the echo F \| part .

CrimInalA CrimInalA Fresh Scripter Registered: 2007-07-05 Posts: 18 Loc: ko	Not at all , i think . i just need to copy a file from the fileshare to the local computer . If the file exist : overwrite . if the file does not exist : just copy But it seems that when i use Code: copy /Y "\\server\filename1.ini" "%windir\filename2.ini" It is not overwriting the file if it already exists $\:\($ Edited by CrimInalA (2009-11-27 03:29 PM) _________________________ no signature

CrimInalA CrimInalA Fresh Scripter Registered: 2007-07-05 Posts: 18 Loc: ko	%windir% i have in the script , i made a typo on the forum . I have used copy with all possible commands after it (/c /h /r /s) , still it's not overwriting . When i use xcopy it overwrites . only problem there is that it does not copy the file when the file does not exist (needs user input 'F') _________________________ no signature

CrimInalA CrimInalA Fresh Scripter Registered: 2007-07-05 Posts: 18 Loc: ko	Ok , it seems that just copy without any arguments at all does actually overwrite the file . you are right . Problem solved ! wew _________________________ no signature

Glenn Barnas Glenn Barnas KiX Supporter Registered: 2003-01-28 Posts: 4401 Loc: New Jersey	Step back to your original question for a moment.. You might want to understand that you can't use piping and redirection in a Shell command without specifying "%COMSPEC% /c", since it is the command shell that is responsible for managing the IO redirection. Without it, nothing based on redirection will work. Of course, built-in commands are best! Glenn _________________________ Actually I am a Rocket Scientist! $\:D$
