Jan,

I think I am providing the full source path in the target, what about the source? And then why does this work correctly on Windows?

something...i am running 2.7 making a simple stack
that will copy a
file to a target on Winows XP and Mac OS X.4...

here is the code:

on mouseUp
   -- bring up a standard system "save as" file
selector

   ask file "Save file as:"
-- if the user cancels, exit without saving
   if it is empty then exit mouseUp
   -- put it into filePath
   put it into filePath
-- Copy file
  revCopyFile "/Content/rubyonrails.pdf",filePath
end mouseUp

no file is copied to the target folder however...

anybody have an example of a stack that copies or an
explanation

Thanks in advance...

Jonathan


Hi Jonathan,

As the 'revCopyFile' command effectively uses
OS-specific means to copy the file (AppleScript on
MacOS, shell commands on other platforms), you need to
feed it a full path to the source and target file.

Of course, if you're not on a Mac or don't need to
copy any MacOS 9 - style 'resource fork', you can
easily copy the file yourself using:
  put URL ("binfile:" & tSourcePath) into URL
("binfile" & tTargetPath)

Hope this helped,

Jan Schenkel.
