copyfile and movefile won't work in middle of script

[kpassaur]

I have a script where I want to move a file to a folder then copy it into a folder for backup.

If I write a script that just does that it works. however, it is part of a larger script and it does not work. I have written the move file command line to a text file to see what I was missing and I cannot find anything wrong with it.

I thought it was maybe something with the variables so I assigned values manually just before the movefile and copyfile and it did not work. I copied this section into a new script and it did work. It appears that some other action in the script is disabling these features. I'm sure I'm wrong on this part, but I am at a loss.

The line written is

Any ideas

The script below reads the text file and should move then copy the files. The files and folders exist. If I copy the message line, paste it at the bottom of the script and execute it the line works. Why won't it just process every line?


Iffileexists>c:\FaxRouter\postprocessfiles.txt
Let>x=1
Label>startfileprocess
ReadLn>c:\FaxRouter\postprocessfiles.txt,x,linetoprocess
If>line=##EOF##,finishfileprocess
MDL>%linetoprocess%
/MoveFile>%linetoprocess%
/CopyFile>%linetoprocess%
Let>x=x+1
Goto>startfileprocess
Label>finishfileprocess
DeleteFile>c:\FaxRouter\postprocessfiles.txt

MoveFile>c:\faxesin\98-0100-INCOME-DOCS.tif,c:\processedfaxes\98-0100-INCOME-DOCS.tif

Some observations:

1. Iffileexists> needs a Ttue/False branch
2. If>Line=.... should be If>linetoprocess=........
3. /Move will not work
4. /Copy will not work
5. Should Copy before Move, else source to copy from has been moved and does not exist any longer.

Biggest issue is probably ovservation #2.

I caught the bit on line two and regardless I cannot get movefile to work. So what I ended up with was copying the file twice and then deleting it.
