Re: Is there a command line?
Posted: 09 Oct 2012 22:23
The ";" is only in the error message and your line, not in the command line, but with the ";" after the "", it also works. So I suppose that the ";" is for separating several such commands in a row.
So I tried with quotes now, and it worked, which brings the questions why sometimes it works without quotes (but mostly not, and in any case no spaces in the path), and why a path with no spaces should be enclosed in quotes to begin with. The syntax in the help entries is without quotes, but the examples given there, even those without spaces in the paths, are. So it seems they are necessary, and that an example without them functions only by chance, here and there.
For the avoiding the "::", every new selection within the folder pane will change the address line, hiding the copy or move address within the history of the address line anyway, so that use of the clipboard, then changing the last characters by hand, for any new subfolder, will be necessary anyway. So instead of avoiding the "::", the better solution would be, how to avoid the unwanted update of the address line?
Sorry, my mistake: The address line does not change automatically, so after a new selection, just new access of the address line is necessary (control-alt-a), then changing the last characters there by hand.
Great help, serendipity, thank you very much!
