#35811 - 2003-01-29 04:55 PM Kixtart does not recognize folders that begin with a dot
André André Fresh Scripter Registered: 2003-01-29 Posts: 11 Loc: Zürich, Switzerland	I want to copy a config file into a folder which name begins with a dot, however Kixtart does not recognize the folder and does not copy COPY "$DLSERVER\updates\jinitiator\CFG\test.txt" "C:\Documents and Settings\@userid\.java\" The folder .java cannot be renamed. Any suggestions?

André André Fresh Scripter Registered: 2003-01-29 Posts: 11 Loc: Zürich, Switzerland	no it does not work either, we have tried anything, Kixtart cannot copy files into that .java folder, when you remove the dot then it works, but the we cannot use this folder anymore because its a standard folder for a java application

Sealeopard Sealeopard KiX Master Registered: 2001-04-25 Posts: 11165 Loc: Boston, MA, USA	Not surprised about this behavior as you cannot even create a folder like .JAVA because the Windows function complains about an incorrect filename. _________________________ There are two types of vessels, submarines and targets.

André André Fresh Scripter Registered: 2003-01-29 Posts: 11 Loc: Zürich, Switzerland	.java is automatically generated by each java vm, this is not the clue. all java applications under windows 2000 work properly, this is standard on all of our 220 clients. when whe copy this file in the command prompt by using dos syntaxes then it can be copied into .java without any problems. only kixtart causes problems, seems that we found a bug!

Sealeopard Sealeopard KiX Master Registered: 2001-04-25 Posts: 11165 Loc: Boston, MA, USA	Not necessarily. If the underlying Windows API prohibits copying into those folders, then it's a Windows API problem and not a KiXtart problem. _________________________ There are two types of vessels, submarines and targets.

Lonkero Lonkero KiX Master Guru Registered: 2001-06-05 Posts: 22346 Loc: OK	I tried this with 4.20 rc-2 only. I manually created the ".java" folder and upper folder did: copy @scriptdir+"\test.txt" @scriptdir+"\.java\test.txt" and it worked just fine. I can't see bug in this. _________________________ ! download KiXnet

ShaneEP ShaneEP MM club member Registered: 2002-11-29 Posts: 2127 Loc: Tulsa, OK	I am also using the new 4.20.0.0. And it worked for me as well. code: COPY "$DLSERVER\updates\jinitiator\CFG\test.txt" "%userprofile%\.java\test.txt"
