KaFu Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 Works fine for me. Are you sure the file exits (there is also @DesktopCommonDir) and is not set read-only? #Include <Date.au3> ConsoleWrite(FileExists(@DesktopDir & "Test.xml") & @crlf) ConsoleWrite(FileGetAttrib(@DesktopDir & "Test.xml") & @crlf) FileMove(@DesktopDir & "Test.xml", @DesktopDir &"Test_"& _NowDate()&".xml", 9) OS: Win10-22H2 - 64bit - German, AutoIt Version: 3.3.16.1, AutoIt Editor: SciTE, Website: https://funk.eu AMT - Auto-Movie-Thumbnailer (2022-Nov-26) BIC - Batch-Image-Cropper (2023-Apr-01) COP - Color Picker (2009-May-21) DCS - Dynamic Cursor Selector (2024-Feb-16) HMW - Hide my Windows (2018-Sep-16) HRC - HotKey Resolution Changer (2012-May-16) ICU - Icon Configuration Utility (2018-Sep-16) SMF - Search my Files (2023-Jun-03) - THE file info and duplicates search tool SSD - Set Sound Device (2017-Sep-16) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GEOSoft Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 Check to see if FileCopy will work in place of FileMove. If it does then check what @Error is returning with the FileMove.

Syed23 Posted January 10, 2012 Author Share Posted January 10, 2012 (edited) FileCopy and File move works when use like this.. #Include <Date.au3> ConsoleWrite(FileExists(@DesktopDir & "Test.xml") & @crlf) ConsoleWrite(FileGetAttrib(@DesktopDir & "Test.xml") & @crlf) FileCopy(@DesktopDir & "Test.xml",@DesktopDir&"Test_1234.xml",9) if i try like this, the same script does not work for me... any clue ? #Include <Date.au3> ConsoleWrite(FileExists(@DesktopDir & "Test.xml") & @crlf) ConsoleWrite(FileGetAttrib(@DesktopDir & "Test.xml") & @crlf) FileCopy(@DesktopDir & "Test.xml",@DesktopDir&"Test_"&_NowDate()&".xml",9) Edited January 10, 2012 by Syed23 Thank you,Regards,[font="Garamond"][size="4"]K.Syed Ibrahim.[/size][/font] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Melba23 Posted January 10, 2012 Moderators Share Posted January 10, 2012 Syed23,As _NowDate returns a string using "/" as a separator, it is hardly surprising that you cannot use it as part of a filename. Try using StringReplace on the returned string to get a legal character in place of the "/".

KaFu Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 As _NowDate returns a string using "/" as a separator, it is hardly surprising that you cannot use it as part of a filename. _NowDate first looks up the registry for the default date format separator... which is a dot . here in Germany and the reason it worked fine for me ...
