AW: copying files in Windows 8
Hi Larry, Up to now, I didn't experienced a difference between W7 and W8 related to the file system. Could you specify, what strange behavior you experience?

copying files in Windows 8
I have a little program where I copy some files from one folder to another with revCopyFile myFile,myFolder and also delete myFile The compiled program works fine on XP and Windows 7, but I get strange behavior on Windows 8. Is that perhaps because Windows 8 uses some different type of folder and file management? I am completely mystified. Thanks for any insights...

Re: copying files
Hi Larry, You could use revCopyFile or e.g. put URL x into URL y. -- Best regards, Mark Schonewille Economy-x-Talk Consulting and Software Engineering Homepage: http://economy-x-talk.com Twitter: http://twitter.com/xtalkprogrammer KvK: 50277553 Installer Maker for LiveCode: http://qery.us/468 Buy my new book "Programming LiveCode for the Real Beginner" http://qery.us/3fi LiveCode on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/runrev/ On 9/6/2014 00:00, la...@significantplanet.org wrote: Hello All, I need to copy some files from one folder to another in Windows.

Copying Files
I am trying to copy a file from a public Dropbox folder to the temp folder. The
code:
put URL ("binfile:https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/path/to/filename";) \
into URL ("binfile:"&the temporary folder&"\filename")
just creates an empty file in the temporary folder. And:
revCopyFile "https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/path/to/filename",the temporary
folder
doesn't do anything.
Any thoughts about how to do this?
thanks, as always -- Al C.

Re: copying files from the engine
Think i'd toss an answer "doing the copy" inside your if block, and/or "put the files" of the engine folder and make sure that the capitalization is what you expect it to be. I _think_ capitalization matters on ios, I know for sure it does on android.

copying files from the engine
Hi, I'm trying to copy a resource, in this case an sqlite file, from the
engine into the documents directory. I have verified that fire2.sqlite is in
the package contents for the compiled app. The following code is not working
(nothing gets copied). Can anyone see the problem?
put specialFolderPath("engine") & "/Fire2.sqlite" into engineFilePath
put specialFolderPath("documents") & "/Fire2.sqlite" into tDatabasePath
if there is a file engineFilePath then
put URL ("binfile:" & engineFilePath) into URL ("binfile:" &
tDatabasePath)
end if
Putting an else close to print an error msg if the file in the engine is not
found results in the error msg being printed. Using a utility I wrote that
can list the contents of iOS directories I can see the fire2.sqlite file in
the "engine" directory. Not sure why this would not be working (probably
been staring at it too long!)
Thanks
-- Mark
