I was trying to use std.file.copy, and I kept getting a
FileException because it couldn't find the file, even though I
triple checked the name and that it existed in Explorer. So I
did a little test to illustrate my point, and this is what
happened:
foreach (de; dirEntries("C:\\Windows\\System32", "msvcrt*",
SpanMode.shallow))
writeln(de);
stdout.flush();
system("dir C:\\Windows\\System32 | find \"msvcrt\"");
produced
C:\Windows\System32\msvcrt.dll
C:\Windows\System32\msvcrt20.dll
C:\Windows\System32\msvcrt40.dll

14/07/2009 11:07 AM 60,928 msvcrt40.dll
whereas running this in cmd:
dir C:\Windows\System32 | find "msvcrt"
produced

16/12/2011 06:46 PM 634,880 msvcrt21.dll
msvcrt21.dll I created by copying msvcrt.dll. I also can't find
msvcrt20/40.dll inside Explorer. Is there any reason why these
don't show the same results?
Thanks,
Josh
Anybody know what's happening?
