COPY FILE issue
Posted: Wed May 04, 2016 12:12 AM

Is there a way to copy a file that has a comma "," in the file name.

With COPY FILE &cSource TO &cDest I get a DOS Error 123.

I cannot control the original filename so I have to somehow work with the "," in the filename.

I will also need to be able to delete this file without generating an error.

Thanks,

Jeff Barnes

You might try
COPY FILE (cSource) TO (cDest)
or maybe
filecopy( cSource, cDest )

I wonder if the error is in source or destination definition. Can you change the destination name to one without comma?
COPY FILE (cSource) TO ('test.tst')
If it can copy to normal filename without error then you might have a work around.
Maybe filemove( cSource, 'test.tst' )

Jeff, I don't have xharbour available to test with but the following code works in harbour.

Code (fw): Select all Collapse

procedure main()

   local cSource := "te,st.prg"
   local cTarget := cSource + ".bak"

   if FileCopy( cSource, cTarget ) != 0
      ? "Copy okay"
   else
      ? "Copy failed."
   endif

   return

Code (fw): Select all Collapse

static cTarget := "c:\Five"

function CopyFiles()

   cTarget = AllTrim( cTarget )

   if ! File( cTarget )
      lMkDir( cTarget )
   endif

   LZCopyFile( "d:\Five\Five.lib", cTarget + "Five.lib" )

return nil

Jeff

I know with Sql you can put things in brackets .. perhaps

Copy file ( "[Some,File]" ) to ( "[ Some,Where ]" ) .. untested .. just a shot in the dark.

This FWH function works with both xHarbour and Harbour

Code (fw): Select all Collapse

? CopyFile( cSourceFile, cDestFile, 0 )
