After i posted, i caught the quote var issue, but bear in mind, i'm talking about command-line from a Terminal shell, NOT the using the Rev IDE GUI. I use rev a lot for utility scripts to hash data - no need for a GUI in these instances.

In Ubuntu, the rev4 engine fails too - i have never had much luck with the rev4 engine in Linux - but rev3.5 works pretty well. After reading the release notes for 4.5beta, it appears the standalone from 4.0 onwards no longer works in pure command-line (e.g. cgi) form. Too bad.... As it is, i can't download the 4.5beta, getting a 404 from both Mac OSX and Linux (i have Enterprise). >function q t > return quote & t & quote > end q >##### Another way which I prefer : >get format( "cp ' %s ' ' %s ' ", tInfile, tOutDir ) >put shell( it ) > ##### A variation of it, which is how I code : > on mouseUp > get shell( format( "cp '%s' '%s'", \ > $HOME & "/Desktop/test.txt" , \ > $HOME & "/Desktop/outDir" ) ) >end mouseUp -- View this message in context: http://runtime-revolution.278305.n4.nabble.com/revCopyFile-problems-on-Mac-OS-X-6-4-tp2402998p2528852.html Sent from the Revolution - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
