Hi I am currently porting a script that runs well on a Linux box to a Win2003 box and am having trouble getting a file move to work.
To make my life a little easier I have installed the GNU Unix tools onto the Win 2003 box so I can use the unix commands in the command shell. The line I am having trouble with is as follows $mv_result = `mv $dir/pdfs/$print_dir/$book_no.PDF $dir/pdfs/$print_dir/$replace.PDF`; All of the variables are created OK. I have confirmed this by printing them at run time just to be sure. I need to get this move to happen on the Win32 box and can't see how to do it. I did think that the perl system command might work and this is what I tried $mv_result = system "mv $dir/pdfs/$print_dir/$book_no.PDF $dir/pdfs/$print_dir/$replace.PDF"; This produced no errors and did absolutely nothing. I am obviously missing something and I would appreciate any help in performing this file move. Regards, Richard Luckhurst Product Development Exodus Systems - Sydney, Australia.
