problem with Xcopy variables, or something

Post by notused »

Hi everyone,

I have a problem with a batch file. No that statement is wrong, my .bat works fine but when I convert it to a exe I get errors.
My code is underneath.
You can skip the first lines untill you get to the echo of 2 paths. All the rest above it is simply the searching of both paths and checking if they're correct. Then I made a switch, to copy from path A to B or B to A and a delete statement to delete A. The delete works fin,
but when I use the first xcopy in a exe I get this:
file not found - cmdlnMYDOCPATH.
when I use the second xcopy in a exe I get this:
file not found - cmdlnCURRENT.
I know there's a similarity between these two errors, the path of the destination ofcourse but I don't see what the file is doing wrong or how to fix it.

EDIT: using version 3.2.4.0, although the splash screen says 3.2.8.0 .....
:o
Can you guys and gals help me out?

Thx in advance!

This bug has been confirmed, program considered that

"%CURRENT%*.*"

use the %* statement inside.

As workaround you can replace it with

"%CURRENT%\*.*"

This my code becomes something like this.
well when I run the exe, it gives me the same error or it can't find the files, any other suggestions ,?
I guess the problem is that my path variables (CURRENT and MYDOCPATH) end with a \ I'm not sure though....
