Lonkero Lonkero KiX Master Guru Registered: 2001-06-05 Posts: 22346 Loc: OK	so something like this: code: $id = file name found previously $sourcefile="c:\Lotus\Notes\Data\names.nsf" $targetdir="\\orrm\domino\local_notes\"+$id+".id" if not exist($targetdir) md $targetdir copy $sourcefile $targetdir ?? _________________________ ! download KiXnet

btw, the syntax:

code:

$id = dir("c:\lotus\notes\data\*.id")
 if @error = 0
 ? "no error"
 else
 @error = 1
 ? "there is an error"+ @serror+"You should notify the Administrator"
 endif

should be

code:

$id = dir("c:\lotus\notes\data\*.id")
 if @error = 0
 ? "no error"
 else
 ? "there is an error"+ @serror+"You should notify the Administrator"
 endif

and simpler (also faster)

code:

$id = dir("c:\lotus\notes\data\*.id")
 if @error
 ? "there is an error"+ @serror+"You should notify the Administrator"
 endif

atiisler atiisler Fresh Scripter Registered: 2002-07-10 Posts: 34	Thanks for all the syntax help... whats happening using the current code is that the folder atiisler.id is being created on the network drive but once it gets to code: copy $sourcefile $targetdir It is telling me (with use of error routine) "The system can not find the path specified c:\Lotus\Notes\data\names.nsf to directory \\orrm\domino\loca_notes\atiisler.id" Both the names.nsf exists and the atiiser.id folder was created.?????? Do I need to change back to some directory is my copy statement correct????

so, going again with the whole peace...

code:

$id = dir("c:\lotus\notes\data\*.id")
 if @error
 ? "there is an error"+ @serror+"You should notify the Administrator"
 else
$sourcefile="c:\Lotus\Notes\Data\names.nsf"
$targetdir="\\orrm\domino\local_notes\"+$id+".id"
if not exist($targetdir)
md $targetdir
endif 
if not exist($targetdir+"\names.nsf")
copy $sourcefile $targetdir+"\names.nsf"
endif

this copies if not file exist.
it also creates the dir if it does not exist.

cheers,

atiisler atiisler Fresh Scripter Registered: 2002-07-10 Posts: 34	Where should I use that? I can not hard code the atiiser.id because it will be diffrent for each user. Whats weird is that if I create any other folder it will do the copy...just not when I use the $id even though the folder is created.

Les Les KiX Master Registered: 2001-06-11 Posts: 12734 Loc: fortfrances.on.ca	Jooel, In your sample code, you are missing the EndIf. Also your concatenation doubles the .id at the end. Perhaps should be: $targetdir="\\orrm\domino\local_notes\"+$id+"\" _________________________ Give a man a fish and he will be back for more. Slap him with a fish and he will go away forever.

Corrected code:

code:

$id = dir("c:\lotus\notes\data\*.id")
if @error
  ? "there is an error"+ @serror+"You should notify the Administrator"
else
  $sourcefile="c:\Lotus\Notes\Data\names.nsf"
  $targetdir="\\orrm\domino\local_notes\"+$id+".id"
  if not exist($targetdir)
    md $targetdir
  endif
  copy $sourcefile $targetdir+"\"
endif

Therefore, I believe, overwriting it with a newer version should be okay. _________________________ There are two types of vessels, submarines and targets.
