Global Variable with Macro

[zeta_immersion]

Global $SourceDir = @WindowsDir & '\Pictures\'
Global $TargetDir = 'C:\Temp'

Run(@ComSpec & ' /k xcopy /y /c' & $SourceDir & $TargetDir , "", @SW_MAXIMIZE)

 

Why can I not use $SourceDir as a variable in the @ComSpec ?

Because your string turns into that. no space after /c, no space after Pictures\. So the exact switch is /cC:\Windows\Pictures\C:\Temp. I don't know of any switch like that.

wired - my mistake in missing the space

the reason I made the post was for someone to confirm I declared the macro function properly and I have used it in the Run command the right way. Previously the error I received was variable $SourceDir used before being declared
