There is a File.copy command already - unless Christoph hasn't merged my pull request yet

[Lindon]

@d-healey syntax?

tried

myFile.copy(myDestinationString)

LoopPlayers.js (83): function not found :-(

[Lindon]

@d-healey -- when did you make the pull request - last I can see from you was the tablelaf stuff on June 14

Hang on found it Aug 14.... dont think its been merged...

Added file.move and file.copy by davidhealey · Pull Request #352 · christophhart/HISE

GitHub (github.com)

@Christoph-Hart any chance??

[Matt_SF]

@Lindon I think I've already used that function... I'll take a look when I'm back home

[Matt_SF]

@Lindon Ah, the only one I used was startAsProcess. (no copy)

const appData = FileSystem.getFolder(FileSystem.AppData);
const manual = appData.getChildFile("MyProduct.pdf");

inline function onbtnManualControl(component, value)
{
    if (value)
        manual.startAsProcess("");
};

Content.getComponent("btnManual").setControlCallback(onbtnManualControl);

My mistake...

@Lindon To follow up on your commandPrompt thing.

When you use the copy command in the terminal you're actually running a program called copy (on MacOS and Linux it's cp).

So instead of getting a file object that references the command prompt program you'd want to get a reference to the copy program.

yes I get that - its just finding "copy.exe" on windows...

[Lindon]

@Lindon ok found --- but not good news....

xcopy = FileSystem.fromAbsolutePath("C:\Windows\System32\xcopy.exe");
Console.print("Is file:" + xcopy.isFile());

Tells me this is not a real file as far as HISE is concerned

[d.healey]

@Lindon Maybe it's a permission thing. Just use my fork, or merge that pull request into your own fork.

@d-healey --yeah thats what im thinking I will have to do when I get to that part of the process... unless @Christoph-Hart has done the pull by then...
