Script help, (saving from one partition to another)

[Sleepybear]

I have a script here, that saves the logs of a program from its directory to a folder in the same directory, I have that program on a read only partition though, so I cant save the logs from the partition to the same partition because its read only.

This partition is on a usb drive, and its shows up as 2 drives. I'm wondering if anyone here knows how I can run a program on one partition, and save to another partition, but still keep it portable. Because with usb drives, the drive letter changes usually as you connect to different computers.

This is the script:

Run(@ComSpec & ' /k "COPY .\take\*.txt .\take\all.txt"', @ScriptDir, @SW_HIDE)
sleep(3000)

Dim $DateTime = @YEAR & "-" & @MON & "-" & @MDAY & "-" & @HOUR & "-" & @MIN & "_" & @SEC
Dim $Location = @WorkingDir & '.\take\'
Dim $FileName = "all.txt"

FileMove($Location & $FileName , $Location & $DateTime & ".log",1)
sleep(3000)

The file save location is set as the working directory, but I want to send it to the directory of the other partition, is this possible? and if so, how?

I don't know how wild cards work with AutoIt either.

One quick look in the helpfile came up with the commands "DriveGetSerial", and "DriveGetDrive"

First obtain the serial number of the partition:

$sDrive = DriveGetSerial ("PathToUSBHardDrive") ; Do this to get the USB drive's serial number.

Oh, sorry, I was away for a while.

Yes, you first need to determine the serial number of the partition(I'm not totally sure, but I think that the serial number does never change), then when you know that, you can statically use that in your 'real' script.

Sure, PM me it, and I'll have a look.
