seven seven Fresh Scripter Registered: 2005-05-30 Posts: 6 Loc: Netherlands	Hi I need to copy some data to a folder. But before copying I would like to check id fthe directory exists if not create it. i finally this folder needs to be hidden. Here is my script....for some reason it is not working.. $wksta = @WKSTA $robocmd= %logonserver%\netlogon\tools\robocopy.exe $roboparms= "/MIR \\bre1mb601\startmenu$\basis . h:\TS-MENU\ /r:0 /w:1 > nul" ;Opbouwen startmenu voor terminal server gebruikers if $wksta = '0435xp' OR $wksta = 'bre1mb601' OR $wksta = 'bre1mb602' IF exists (@homedir + "\ts-menu\") else shell '%comspec% /c md "h:\ts-menu"/s /q >nul 2>nul' SETFILEATTR (h:\ts-menu, 2) endif Shell '%COMSPEC% /c '+$robocmd+' '+$roboParms ?

Code: $roboparms= "/MIR \\bre1mb601\startmenu$\basis . h:\TS-MENU\ /r:0 /w:1 > nul" could be causing you some problems and you will need to double up on the "$"

seven seven Fresh Scripter Registered: 2005-05-30 Posts: 6 Loc: Netherlands	Copying is working fine. If I create the directory manually and comment out the directory check,then it works. I'm not using the VarsinString option... So the problem is not in cpoy piece but in the dir check Thanks for the reply seven Edited by seven (2005-08-04 05:04 PM)

Lonkero Lonkero KiX Master Guru Registered: 2001-06-05 Posts: 22346 Loc: OK	and my bet is, it is "h:\" and thus making the check translate to: if exist("h:\\ts-menu\") _________________________ ! download KiXnet
