Hi,

Since I have asked it twice and you have not answered am I to assume that you do not have a wildcard that works on a single characer, similar to DOS?

There is only one file that starts with "Install" and ends with "DPRW", yet I still get a folder created instead of a file copied.

Hi, I mis-spoke. My intent is a 1 to 1 relationship between source and target files. My use of the wildcard is accidently qualifying more than one file. I tried using question marks first (ala DOS) but that had same result. Are there any "placeholder" type wildcards that would only affect one charac...

Hello, I also tried adding a wait to the file copy command that immediately precede the FTP, thinking that perhaps the OS was not done copying the files when the FTP starts. this made no difference. Let>theFile=Files_%Files_Count% CopyFile>theFile,K:\Acme\Builds\AcmeInstall_AccountMate.exe wait>180 ...
