Move not overwriting when using UNC Path as destination
|
Using KiXtart 2010 4.50
Code:
Break On
Move "D:\MyFolder\MyFile1.txt" "\\MyComputer\MyShare"
? @ERROR ": " @SERROR
Copy "D:\MyFolder\MyFile2.txt" "\\MyComputer\MyShare"
? @ERROR ": " @SERROR
Move "D:\MyFolder\MyFile2.txt" "\\MyComputer\MyShare"
? @ERROR ": " @SERROR
The kix2010 manual tells for the "Move" command that:
Quote:
MOVE overwrites existing files without warning.
But when moving to an UNC style path and when the destination file exists, the file is not overwritten. The Error Code is 80, telling it exists.

The manual also states
Quote:
If the source or target specifies a directory, please make sure to add a trailing backslash
which you forgot. You're now tryig to write a file under the same location as an already existing folder. As windows does not allow this, an error message is generated and the action is not beign performed. This is the correct and desired behavior. Thus, it is a coding error in your code, not a KiXtart or windows bug.

Code:
Break On
Move "D:\MyFolder\MyFile1.txt" "\\MyComputer\MyShare\"
? @ERROR ": " @SERROR
Copy "D:\MyFolder\MyFile2.txt" "\\MyComputer\MyShare\"
? @ERROR ": " @SERROR
Move "D:\MyFolder\MyFile2.txt" "\\MyComputer\MyShare\"
? @ERROR ": " @SERROR
You are right, but I see no difference.
In my example, the destination path exists.

Also "KiXtart 2010 4.51 Release Candidate 1" is not overwriting when moving to a UNC style path.

Re: Move not overwriting when using UNC Path as destination

Sealeopard, what version where you using when testing this? Or did you simply quote from the manual? I've also done some quick testing with 4.50 and come to the same conclusion as the topic starter. So it appears not to be a RTFM issue afterall...
The line in the documentation about the trailing backslash is obviously meant when moving directories and not for files.
The overwriting comment is for doing something like this:
Code:
Move "D:\MyFolder\MyFile2.txt" "D:\MyFolder\MyFile3.txt"
The above does overwrite without warning.
So we have:
a) a bug
b) a minor documentation error
"If the source or target specifies a directory, please make sure to add a trailing backslash."
Should be something like:
"When moving directories, please make sure to add a trailing backslash."
Nice double catch Witto.

Cannot move folders over Shares
Hello!
I run into some difficulties when I try to move folders:
This code works:
Code:
$src="c:\tmp\sourcefolder\"
$dest="c:\tmp\Destination\"
Move $src $dest
This one doesn't:
Code:
$src="\\server\share1\sourcefolder\"
$dest="\\server\share2\"
Move $src $dest
Error number and message are:
Quote:
ERROR 123: The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect.
I tried it with COM:
Code:
$fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
$err=$fso.MoveFolder($src, $dest)
$fso=0
and get no error in both cases (local and remote move) - but nothing happens...
Can somebody please push me in the right direction? I prefer working with Shares.
Thank you very much in advance.

Does the MOVE command work from the commandline? I suspect it's not a KiXtart issue as even the COM object fails.

Also 4.52 Beta1 not overwriting the target if
- the target exists
- the target is to be found via an UNC path
Code:
Break On
$ = Open(1, "C:\Test1.txt", 1)
$ = Close(1)
$ = Open(1, "C:\Test2.txt", 1)
$ = Close(1)
Move "C:\Test1.txt" "\\"+@WKSTA+"\C$\Test2.txt"
? @ERROR ": " @SERROR
? @KIX

Re: Move not overwriting when using UNC Path as destination

Move is still not overwriting in Kix32 4.52 and 4.53 Beta 1.

Re: Move not overwriting when using UNC Path as destination

Thanks for the report. MOVE indeed still has an issue with overwriting existing files if the target was a UNC. As it turns out, the underlying API returns a different resultcode for files accessed via a UNC.
This is addressed in the next build of 4.53.
Good one, thanks!
