orest orest Lurker Registered: 2002-04-29 Posts: 4 Loc: Lviv, Ukraine	XCOPY started from script with /D switch doesn't work -- it copies all files instead of newer only. The same command from .bat file runs pretty well. What's wrong? _________________________ sy, orest

orest orest Lurker Registered: 2002-04-29 Posts: 4 Loc: Lviv, Ukraine	It looks like this: Shell "cmd xcopy /S /d \\someserver\someshare\somedir\. C:\aaa\." _________________________ sy, orest

Jochen Jochen KiX Supporter Registered: 2000-03-17 Posts: 6380 Loc: Stuttgart, Germany	You need to specify a date, unless you do so all files are copied ! /d:12-29-99 As well you might want to replace cmd with %ComSpec% /c as this points always, no matter what OS to a valid command interpreter hth Jochen _________________________

orest orest Lurker Registered: 2002-04-29 Posts: 4 Loc: Lviv, Ukraine	dear Jochen I do NOT need to specify date, date is optional -- please take a look at xcopy help: Copies files and directory trees. XCOPY source [destination] ... [/D[:date]] ... /D:m-d-y ... If no date is given, copies only those files whose source time is newer than the destination time. After all it works from command prompt and in batch file. _________________________ sy, orest

Jochen Jochen KiX Supporter Registered: 2000-03-17 Posts: 6380 Loc: Stuttgart, Germany	Yeah sorry ... you're right ! No need to specify date .... just a tick, will check the need of additional environment space (/e:) for cmd J. _________________________

Jochen Jochen KiX Supporter Registered: 2000-03-17 Posts: 6380 Loc: Stuttgart, Germany	hmmm ... the following did update only the scriptfile after modifying in folder test : code: shell '%ComSpec% /C xcopy /s /d c:\winnt\profiles\jpols\Desktop\test c:\test\' Only thing I can think of is that xcopy asks you w/o you recognizing if destination is a file or a folder Jochen _________________________

BrianTX BrianTX Korg Regular Registered: 2002-04-01 Posts: 895	I just tried it in Windows 2000 with a simple code: shell "xcopy /S /d \\server\share\folder c:\temp" It worked like a champ.. didn't need a CMD... With the CMD /C worked fine as well. So, I can't duplicate the problem.. Brian

MCA MCA KiX Supporter Registered: 2000-04-28 Posts: 5152 Loc: Netherlands, EU	Dear, We have test your script. Following works in our situation: code: shell '%comspec% /c xcopy /d /s "\\someserver\someshare\somedir\." "c:\aaa\"' The big differences are - "%comspec%" instead of "CMD" - use "c:\aaa\" instead of "c:\aaa\." greetings. btw: we advise to use as additional XCOPY options /Y /C /R /I /H _________________________ email scripting@wanadoo.nl homepage scripting@wanadoo.nl \| Links \| Summary of Site Site KiXforms FAQ kixtart.org library collection mirror MCA \| FAQ & UDF help file UDF kixtart.org library collection mirror MCA \| mirror USA \| mirror europe UDF scriptlogic library collection UDFs \| mirror MCA
