#125584 - 2004-08-25 06:12 AM Copy w/ variables in SOURCE and DESTINATION
Anonymous Anonymous Unregistered	I am trying to copy a shortcut from a share on the server to every users DESKTOP. To do this I need to put variables into the SOURCE and DEST parameters of the COPY command. $PatchLoc="SYDFILESVR\MIS\SUPP\" $ProfileLoc=%USERPROFILE% Copy $PatchLoc + "PSL\Helpdesk DB" $ProfileLoc + "\Desktop" KIX does not copy. Help please...

Assuming that this is supposed to be a UNC path, you are missing the hacks. $PatchLoc="\\SYDFILESVR\MIS\SUPP\" You should pull this path from the registry with ReadValue(). $ProfileLoc=%USERPROFILE% You dan't say waht is a file or a folder. Folders should have a trailing hack. Copy $PatchLoc + "PSL\Helpdesk DB\" $ProfileLoc + "\Desktop\" _________________________ Give a man a fish and he will be back for more. Slap him with a fish and he will go away forever.

Anonymous Anonymous Unregistered	Thanks, hacks were missing. "Helpdesk DB" is actually the file name (no extension). Line now looks like this: Copy "\\" + $PatchLoc + "PSL\Helpdesk DB" $ProfileLoc + "\Desktop\Helpdesk DB" still does not work...

Anonymous Anonymous Unregistered	Thanks for help. I think it's a KIX limitation. Does not seem to be able to copy SHORTCUTs I tried this: Code: copy "\\sydfilesvr\mis\SUPP\psl\Helpdesk DB" "C:\Documents and Settings\olafr\Desktop\" and it did not work. ("Helpdesk DB" is a Windows XP shortcut) Tried this: Code: copy "\\sydfilesvr\mis\SUPP\psl\Help.txt" "C:\Documents and Settings\olafr\Desktop\" and it did work ... any idea's.
