Gary, I tried this generally as per your commands - it worked with V9 & Windows 7. How are you actually issuing the Copy command ?
R>copy &vfile1 &vfile2 Copying d:\alloab1\a.txt to D:\RBTI\RBG90_32\Samples\c.txt R>show var vfile1 d:\alloab1\a.txt R>show var vfile2 c.txt Regards, John Docherty From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Gary Wendike Sent: Wednesday, 20 January 2010 4:52 p.m. To: RBASE-L Mailing List Subject: [RBASE-L] - Copy Command I am having a brain freeze at this time. I am using the copy command to rename files using student names within the file name. Just trying to personalize the information. I do this for 3 files. There can be a total of 7 attachments emailed to the student. The problem: The copy command does not seem work. I know I have used the copy command in the past to recreate the attachments with the student names as a part of the file. However, at this point, I cannot get the copy command to work. The command I use is: Copy &vfile5 &vfile5a Of course the file names are a composite of commands. The file is being copied from one directory to the current directory and adding the name of the student. Below is the actual definitions vfile5 = C:\AFOLBI\AP_Info\DrMinistryHa TEXT ndbook.pdf vfile5a = DrMinistryHandbook_Patty_Eisen TEXT mann.pdf As I mentioned, I have done this in the past with no problems. But as today, this does not work. Does anyone have any ideas what I may be missing?
