Copy via cmd.exe (Solved)

[John_C]

Is it possible to copy files using the cmd.exe interface?

Something like

Code: Select all

xycopy.exe C:\Users\John\Desktop\file.txt C:\Backup\file.txt

I need it to better integrate XYplorer with AutoHotkey.

The main point that I need to preserve metadata (color labels, comments)

Just send it a script via WM_COPYDATA?

Sounds promising. Could you show some example?

Thanks. It looks as a solution, but doesn't work currently. (Probably because of some changes in AHK or XY).

In the first post of that thread it is suggested to use

Code: Select all

"messenger.exe" ::msg Hello

Well, first of all it should be "Hello" (with quotes).

But in either case (with or without quotes) I receive an empty message.

Win7, XY 20.30, AHK 1.1.31.00

Quoting is an art...
