The FILECOPY command

[Tillmann Viefhaus]

When I write:

CHDR "D:\Test_with_Files"

A = "Original.exe"
B = "Original_Copy.exe"
Filecopy A, B

A is existing on the harddrive but File B is not created. Why is that?

What does ERR say? This might give a clue.

There is no ERR message. And thats whats suspicious. The command just doesn't work. Or does it write the new file elsewhere on the drive?

I found the error. I just had the wrong filename which was the one of the program I was working with. The file A used in FILECOPY must never contain the name or parts of the name of a programm which is just running.
