Hello,
I am trying to make system call to xcopy in perl on Windows XP to copy down a
folder from the server locally. Same and similar commands works on other perl
script but not on the current one I am working on.
All of the following $cmd work from a command prompt but seems to be ignored
from the system call in the perl script and it has a return value of 0.
Any help or suggestion would be much appreciated!
Thanks,
D
# the paths have no blank space
$localbuilddir = $LayoutDrive."\\builds\\".$buildname;
$binbuild =
$builds."\\".$tempdata[0]."\\".$tempdata[1]."\\Release\\".$tempdata[2]."\\".$buildname;
# only the copy command copying one file with filename spelled out works
$cmd = "copy ". $binbuild . "\\abc.exe ".$localbuilddir; $sysretval = system
($cmd);
#$cmd = "xcopy ". $binbuild . "\\*.* ".$localbuilddir . "\\ /Y /S /I " ;
#$cmd = "copy ". $binbuild . "\\*.dll " . $localbuilddir;
#$cmd = "xcopy ". $binbuild . "\\*.* ".$localbuilddir . "\\ /Y /S /I " ;
#$cmd = $ENV{'SYSTEMROOT'}."\\SYSTEM32\\xcopy /V /E /I /F /Y " . $binbuild .
"\\*.* " . $localbuilddir;
#$cmd = "$ENV{COMSPEC} /C xcopy /V /E /I /F /Y " . $binbuild . "\\*.* " .
$localbuilddir;
