Bernie, Try putting the file name in double quotes:
COPY "xx.yy.zz" C:\Temp Also, don't forget _not_ to use a filename in the TO portion of the command. If you do want to change name as well then use MOVE (with double quotes): MOVE "xx.yy.zz" "C:\Temp\aa.bb.cc" In R:Base try setting variables to the source and destination: SET VAR vSouce TEXT = ' "xx.yy.zz" ' SET VAR vDest TEXT = ' "aa.bb.cc" ' (I've put spaces between the quotes just to show the two types.) then use whichever variable type - dotted or ampersand - works with copy: COPY &vSouce &vDest Good luck & regards, Alastair. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Bernard Lis" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "RBG7-L Mailing List" <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, October 12, 2005 2:42 AM Subject: [RBG7-L] - copy problem > Try this -- > Create a file called xx.yy.zz put some dummy info into it. > > then copy xx.yy.zz to some other folder > I got xx.zz the yy component disappeared > > Are we not able to copy a 3 component file in a command file? > > Bernie Lis >
