Re: put url tricks to copy files on windows

As others have pointed out, for binfile and file urls you shouldn't include the standard '//' in front of the (absolute) path. These are not parsed by the engine as standard urls - everything after the : is parsed as the filename. On an unrelated not you don't need to twiddle with the

Re: put url tricks to copy files on windows

Without meaning to add more confusion, a Windows UNC path from a server to a file does work with the form "binfile://servername/folder/folder/filename.txt", while local access (or mapped drives) are like "binfile:C:/folder/folder/filename.txt". ~Roger On Jun 21, 2017 2:07 AM, "Mark Waddingham

also what is confusing is when I removed the // from the FROM file but left it in for the TO file, I get the same error, "can't open file", which to me implies that the file that exists can't be read, not that the TO path is wrong. On Wed, Jun 21, 2017 at 7:37 AM, Roger Eller via use-livecode <

Re: put url tricks to copy files on windows

Let me be clearer. I think the message could be better (or perhaps the dictionary could list the error messages and explain them), because even though we use the "open" command in LC to read from a file or create a file, the lack of the need for a "create file" command in LCS doesn't remove that

If the browser widget is expecting an encoded URL (i.e. %20 vs a space) then instead of replacing characters, you should use the urlEncode function, as in put URLEncode(tFile) into tFile This way any characters (spaces or Unicode or whatever) that are an issue are properly encoded. On

Making scripted elements is a great thing for scripters to do. And the one thing we all have in common here is that we're all scripters. There should be no need to make LC Ltd's C++ experts set aside work on the engine to build these instead. What prevents any of us from delivering those?

You could also try the revCopyFile and revCopyFolder commands. I normally only use the URL syntax to save new data I've created in a variable to a file. When copying existing files/folders I either use "get shell" to call native commands, or the built-in revCopyFile. ~Roger On Wed, Jun 21,
