Hello all,

Please Note: I'm fairly new to Autoit and scripting in general. I have encountered this before with a previous script, but that solution doesn't seem to work with this script. I am copying some .dat files from a Program Files directory to a folder on the desktop before I overwrite the files in the Program Files directory with newer files. The FileCopy gives me a file named after the destination folder instead of the .dat files. I thought in my previous script that this was related to a misplaced "\" in my paths, but that doesn't seem to be the case here. I've included the problem portion and my entire script below. My variable names might be a little confusing. Be sure to differentiate "$VMC2RPTPATH" and "$VMC2RPTPFPATH". Any thoughts on what might cause it? Thanks in advance.

$VMC2RPTPATH = RegRead ("HKU\" & $var & "_Classes\VirtualStore\MACHINE\SOFTWARE\" & $64MARK & "MC2\ICE2000\Paths\", "ICEReportFilePath")

If $VMC2RPTPATH <> "" Then RegWrite ("HKLM\Software\" & $64MARK & "MC2\ICE2000\Paths", "ICEReportFilePath", "REG_SZ", $VMC2RPTPATH)

MsgBox (0, "test", $VMC2RPTPATH);PRODUCES "C:\Program Files (x86)\MC² Software\"

If StringInStr($VMC2RPTPATH, "C:\Program Files") <> 0 Then

$VMC2RPTPFPATH = StringReplace ($VMC2RPTPATH, "C:\", @userprofiledir & "\" & "AppData\Local\VirtualStore\")

Filecopy ($VMC2RPTPATH & "*.dat", @desktopdir & "\" & "OLD MC2 FILES\MC2Reports\",1);Copy MC2 Report Files in Program Files to desktop before overwriting with VirtualStore files.

DirCopy ($VMC2RPTPFPATH, $VMC2RPTPATH,1);Copy MC2 Report Files from VirtualStore to Program Files location overwriting existing files.

I guess the code is too long for the code window? Let's try outside the code window:

The behavior you describe does sound, as you said, like a missing slash on the end of the dest path, but

looking it over, I can't see a darn thing wrong with your code.

If you convert the FileCopy() to a Msgbox() does it display 2 valid paths?

Maybe try FileCopy() with the flag parm set to 9 to confirm that the required existing destination directory is named exactly as in your script?

Maybe a third set of eyes will come up with an idea...

Figured it out! Stupid mistake. The rest of my copy procedures were DirCopy which, by default, creates the destination directory if it doesn't exist. I was using a flag of "1" on the FileCopy telling it to overwrite existing files when I needed to use "9" to create the destination directory too. Like I said.... newbie... Thanks for the reply, Spiff.
