If
(validpath("F:\*"), (Run F: Drive sync))
__________________________________
Unless this is some novel undocumented IF-syntax it's so wrong I don't know
where to start.
1-The IF statement should be on one line:
if (validpath("f:\*"))
2-PPro commands can't be in parentheses and certainly not inside the IF
condition. That's where your "Run" command is in your example. So in effect
it's not a command but a condition - one that makes no sense, inside
misatched parentheses, and separated from the "validpath" condition by a
comma instead of a legal operator.
3-If it were a command it would have to be one line below the IF-statement
4-(Run F: Drive sync) is wrong in every possible way:
a) The Run function takes a PPro command list as an operand. You can't run
external commands with it and certainly not with anything like that syntax.
b) There are no Windows comands that start with a drive letter followed by a
space. If it's the GNU sync.exe that you're using then your command should
be sync.exe [OPTIONS].
c) The best way to run commands with arguments is (as Bruce explained
recently) with the DO() function, which is distinct from the DO in
IF-DO-ELSE-ENDIF. Otherwise a PPro function couldn't figure out which is the
command and which is the argument in your example.
