Simple Question on Directory Paths With Variable

[shanem]

Hi, I'm new to AutoIT (started using it yesterday).

I'm running into a problem with a directory path using an imbedded variable.

In DOS

copy D:\IMAGERS\v40s\%lot_plate_array%\*.* C:\Data\V40S\

works just fine.

In AutoIT

FileCopy("D:\IMAGERS\V40S\"&$lot_platearray\*.*, "C:\Data\V40S\")

Does not work. The definition of $lot_platearray is not the problem since it wrote correctly in a previous line. I've tried multiple variations on the append and can't get any of them to work. I'm half tempted to call an existing DOS batch file - but that would be cheating.

Thanks in advance if anyone can help an AutoIT novice.

This should work - FileCopy("D:\IMAGERS\V40S\" & $lot_platearray & "\*.*", "C:\Data\V40S\").

THANK YOU! I'll give it a shot.

That code worked.

Thank you again for your help snowmaker.
