FILE_COPY copies a file. The command can be used for coping files on the home system and from and to the ADOxx database.

Syntax ​

leo-grammar
CC "AdoScript" FILE_COPY from:strValue to:strValue [ copy-file-attributes ]

# --> RESULT ecode:intValue

Parameters ​

  • from (strValue) - specifies the path for source file
  • to (strValue) - specifies the path for target file
  • copy-file-attributes(modifier, optional) - If copy-file-attributes is specified, additionally the file attributes of the source file are copied/set to the target file. E.g., if the source file is write-protected, so will be the target file. This will only work if none of the files are ADOxx database files!

Returns ​

  • ecode (intValue) - has the value 0 if no errors occurred, 1 if the file was not copied.

Details ​

Relative paths relate to the current working directory (CWD).

Files stored in the ADOxx database can be copied by preceding the filename with ths string db:\\

The destination file can only be created if the full filename (drive letter + absolute path + file name) is not longer than 260 characters.
