#43073 - 2003-07-19 10:46 PM Copy command
kdm kdm Fresh Scripter Registered: 2001-10-25 Posts: 31 Loc: Harrisburg, PA	Kixtart 4.11, 4.21 (tried this with both) I'm trying to copy a shortcut from the scripts folder to the C:\ drive. The first line below is in my script but it doesn't copy and no errors are displayed. copy @lserver+"\netlogon\shortcuts\shortcut.lnk" "C:\" I then told it to print to the screen and the source path and destination path all run together. Any ideas why this would happen? This is the output: \\server\netlogon\shortcuts\Shortcut.lnkC:\

As the error message says, KiXtart cannot find the file on the server

code:

$Source = @lserver+'\netlogon\shortcuts\Psynet(New Server).lnk' 

$w2kDesktop = 'C:\'

$w9xDesktop = 'C:\'

if exist($source)
  select
  case exist($w2kDesktop)
    copy $source $w2kDesktop
    ? "Windows 2000"
    ? $source+' '+$w2kDesktop
    ? 'Error '+@ERROR+' - '+@SERROR
  case exist($w9xDesktop)
    ? "Windows 9x"
    copy $Source $w9xDesktop
    ? 'Error '+@ERROR+' - '+@SERROR
  case 1
  endselect
else
  ? 'Cannot find source file '+$source
endif

Howard Bullock Howard Bullock KiX Supporter Registered: 2000-09-15 Posts: 5809 Loc: Harrisburg, PA USA	Your output error is caused by not including a space. ? $source + " " + $w2kDesktop Your file not found problem is something you will have to resolve by using the correct path and filename of an existing file.

kdm kdm Fresh Scripter Registered: 2001-10-25 Posts: 31 Loc: Harrisburg, PA	I tried including the space (copy $source + " " + $w2kDesktop) and I receive this error: ERROR : Error in expression.! Script: C:\WINNT\SYSVOL\sysvol\domain\scripts\training.kix Line : 5 I think the reason I get the file not found error is bacuase of the space not being included. This is driving me crazy! I do appreciate the help though. Ecspecially on a Saturday. Any other ideas?
