I am trying to move documents from local computer documents directory to a location on my server if I use:

move /y "c:\my documents\*.doc" "\\NTSERVER1\cdrives$\pc_010\"

on the command line it works fine and moves all the files with the extension of doc to the appropiate directory, in conjunction with the shell command I have with no luck when I used this command:

shell "%comspec% /c move /y c:\my documents\*.doc \\NTSERVER1\cdrives$\" + @WKSTA + "\"

The computer knows what @WKSTA as it has previously created the directory.

Any ideas, do I need to put more speech marks in?

If
move /y "c:\my documents\*.doc" "\\NTSERVER1\cdrives$\pc_010\"

works on the commandline ,

this should work in Kix :

code:

---

shell '%ComSpec /c move /y "c:\my documents\*.doc" "\\NTSERVER1\cdrives$\'+@wksta+'\"'

---

ps. note the single quotation wraps the shell string (w/o @wksta) so that the double quotation is treated as part of the string !
