anyone doing something like this? $Source_Path:=utl_file_Directory_Mark_Remove ($Source_Path) //trailing directory mark causes issues $External_Command:="cp -r "+utl_file_Path_Convert_to_Posix ($Source_Path) $External_Command:=$External_Command+" "+utl_file_Path_Convert_to_Posix ($Final_Copy_To_Path) LAUNCH EXTERNAL PROCESS($External_Command;$LEP_Input;$LEP_Output;$LEP_Error)
if so - crossing platforms, i.e. from Mac to Windows? What happens the source path is a Mac directory which contains 1 or more files with illegal characters, or is an illegal configuration for Windows? i.e. file or folder name contains \ or / or and/or the file or folder name ends with a space, or a period? unless I am missing something, the filename inside the source directory are not checked by MacOS for compatibility with windows during a copy... --------------- Gas is for washing parts Alcohol is for drinkin' Nitromethane is for racing ********************************************************************** 4D Internet Users Group (4D iNUG) FAQ: http://lists.4d.com/faqnug.html Archive: http://lists.4d.com/archives.html Options: http://lists.4d.com/mailman/options/4d_tech Unsub: mailto:[email protected] **********************************************************************
