Implict versus explict

[mr-es335]

Good day,

I would have "thought" that in a discipline such as programming, that the language that accompanies such a discipline - that is, "the syntax", must, of necessity, be "explicit" - and NOT "implicit"?

Though the HelpFile is deemed by many to be of some practicable employment - I personally tend to find the HelpFile rather ambiguous.

For example, the documentation provided for FileCopy makes two inappropriate assumptions,

1) No information is provided on the employment of the "trailing backslash"...and...
2) No in-depth clarification is provided on $FC_CREATEPATH.

Whether such ambiguity is intentional-or-not - I would appreciate it if such }assertions" were explicit noted at the outset.

Regarding FileCopy, I would like to provide the following...in the way of a very brief summary:

  Reveal hidden contents

An important note....
Based on my findings, the destination directory structure DOES NOT NEED TO EXIST!
However, and this IS an important however, the destination directory structure needs to be defined - or more specifically, "explictly stated". For example:

An implicit destination directory structure:
* Source: "C:\Working\Src\1\2\3\4\5\6\7\8\9\Test.txt"
* Destination: "C:\Working\Dst\"

An explicit destination directory structure:
* Source: "C:\Working\Src\1\2\3\4\5\6\7\8\9\Test.txt"
* Destination: "C:\Working\Dst\1\2\3\4\5\6\7\8\9\"

I have further "investigations" to perform...but I felt that the above requires attention!

My understanding is:

AutoIt is a wrapper for Windows functions.
The documentation describes the AutoIt language. It ends where the Windows documentation starts.
