CopyTo Scrips error

I want to create a simple script to copy a number of files, After some experiementing I created this script (in Try Script):

copyto "\\192.168.252.108\c$\ETL", "u:\Secu\Exact\Leeg\Klanten\*.*"

Asks Replace or skip (as expected). If I select replace all works.

I wanted to get rid of the prompt so I added

copyto "\\192.168.252.108\c$\ETL", "u:\Secu\Exact\Leeg\Klanten\*.*", 1

Now I get the attached error.

You've set 1 for

Code: Select all

[rootpath]
^^

copyto "\\192.168.252.108\c$\ETL", "u:\Secu\Exact\Leeg\Klanten\*.*", 5:=2
would work for example...

I tried these three lines:

copyto "\\192.168.253.108\c$\ETL", "u:\Secu\Exact\Leeg\Klanten\*.*"
//copyto "\\192.168.253.108\c$\ETL", "u:\Secus\Exact\Leeg\Klanten\*.*", 1
//copyto "\\192.168.253.108\c$\ETL", "u:\Secu\Exact\Leeg\Klanten\*.*", "u:\Secu\Exact\Leeg\Klanten"

One works with prompt
Two and three both fail with the same error

Could it be the command length?

Thanks that works, but can you explain?

It's setting the 6th parameter to 2 (= Overwrite). Because the syntax counts from 0 and not from 1 it's 5:=2
