am632 3 Posted March 15, 2011 (edited) Hi, thanks for hte replies. I'm just trying the RunWait(@ComSpec & " /c " & "commandName" but I dont think im' doing it right as its not working. heres ma code RunWait(@ComSpec & " /c " & '"move.exe /y"' & $TEMPFOLDER & "\Desktop" & $DESTINATION & "\Desktop") I tried to 'write' it similar to my xcopy command but that must be wrong. thanks EDIT: Also I just tried this but this didnt work either RunWait('move.exe "' & $TEMPFOLDER & '" "' & $DESTINATION & "\Desktop" & '" /y', @SystemDir, @SW_HIDE) Edited March 15, 2011 by am632 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ripdad 86 Posted March 16, 2011 am632, "Move" is a OS internal command and not an exe file. To see a list of internal commands, open a command prompt, then type and enter: help ; example Local $TEMPFOLDER = 'C:\SourceFolder', $DESTINATION = 'C:\DestinationFolder' RunWait(@ComSpec & ' /c move /y "' & $TEMPFOLDER & '" "' & $DESTINATION & '"', '', @SW_HIDE) "The mediocre teacher tells.
