#74827 - 2003-05-06 02:18 AM How to silence file copy on Windows 9x
NTDOC NTDOC Administrator Registered: 2000-07-28 Posts: 11634 Loc: Space	Currently using v4.12 The following code works as expected on NT/2000/XP code: $FileSource="\\SERVER\SHARE\" SHELL '%comspec% /c copy $FileSource\. %temp% >nul 2>nul' Can not seem to make the correct usage of quotes to get Windows 95 to operate the same. I can get the files to copy, but not silently. Have reviewed FAQ already. http://www.kixtart.org/board/ultimatebb.php?ubb=get_topic;f=10;t=000069 and here http://www.kixtart.org/board/ultimatebb.php?ubb=get_topic;f=14;t=000315 Does anyone know the correct code to make this work on Windows 9x?

Here are a couple of links about it as well. http://www.teaser.fr/~amajorel/stderr/ Using command redirection operators http://www.microsoft.com/technet/treeview/d efault.asp?url=/technet/prodtechnol/windowsserver2003/proddocs/entserver/redirection.asp http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en- us/vclib/html/_crt_stdin.2c_.stdout.2c_.stderr.asp http://www.winscriptingsolutions.com/Articles/Index.cfm?ArticleID=7462 [ 06.

Why not use KiXtart copy command (native)? quote: COPY "source" "destination" [/h] Remarks Wildcards are supported. If a file already exists at the destination, it is overwritten without warning. The /h option can be used to include files with the hidden or system attribute set in the copy. Thanks, Kent _________________________ Utilize these resources: UDFs (Full List) KiXtart FAQ & How to's

NTDOC NTDOC Administrator Registered: 2000-07-28 Posts: 11634 Loc: Space	Thanks Kent, but the reason for not using the Native COPY is that it will not wait for the files to be copied before it moves on to the next lines of the script, which try to call those files it just copied. Over some LAN/WAN connections these files are not copied fast enough before they are called. Then the script does not work correctly. The code works fine for NT, I used the Native COPY and added a 5 sec sleep to the Windows 9x section.

How would that be possible if COPY did not complete before executing the next line? _________________________ Home page: http://www.kixhelp.com/hb/

If you read in a directory before the copy, and then read it again after, it will serve up the cached copy from the first. _________________________ Give a man a fish and he will be back for more.

NTDOC NTDOC Administrator Registered: 2000-07-28 Posts: 11634 Loc: Space	Because I'm doing a wildcard copy. I have tested it without an @error and the script DOES move on before the copy. I'm using 4.12 in production which I don't even remember if the @error was broken in that version or not. However, I'm guessing that once the first file is copied it will give @error the 0 succesful entry. I could test this further, but I've already put the script into production using the SLEEP 5 for Windows 9x
