You are here:

os.Path.copy

os.Path.copy() copies an existing file to create a new one:

CALL os.Path.copy(source_file, dest) RETURNING result

where:

source_file is a STRING variable containing the path to the file to copy,
dest is a STRING variable containing the destination and the name of the newly created (copied) file,
result is TRUE when the file has been copied successfully or FALSE otherwise.

When you specify a file name, be careful with its case.

UNIX is case-sensitive, so it will treat files which names come in different cases as separate files.

Here is an example of the method calling:

#copies the file "file_1.txt" from " C:\New folder" to " C:\" with the same name

CALL os.Path.copy("C:\\Files\\file_1.txt","C:\\file_1.txt") RETURNING result1

#copies the file "file_1" from "C:\New folder" to " C:\" with the name changed to 'file_2.txt'

CALL os.Path.copy("C:\\Files\\file_1.txt","C:\\file_2.txt") RETURNING result2
