Move syntax?

[Mekrel]

Hey I did search for this but only got a thread which was resolved by SFX so I didnt get an example of the move syntax, anyway I need to move because I create some directories in my start menu and want to move the .lnk files within them to tidy up abit.

So I was just testing now with a file on my pc but I cant seem to crack it..

G:\My Documents\Firefox Downloads>MOVE "G:\My Documents\Firefox Downloads\instal
ler.ico "G:\My Documents"
The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect.

G:\My Documents\Firefox Downloads>MOVE "G:\My Documents\Firefox Downloads\instal
ler.ico "G:\My Documents\installer.ico"
The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect.

G:\My Documents\Firefox Downloads>

Any help appreciated.

Also, intead of creating a new thread, pskill is part of windows XP Pro isnt it? Or do I have to download it and put it in $$\system32?

Thanks again

you're missing a quote

MOVE "G:\My Documents\Firefox Downloads\instal
ler.ico" "G:\My Documents"

Also, for syntax, ever think of opening up a dos prompt and type MOVE /? ?

And no, pskill is NOT part of Windows XP as it's made be a COMPLETELY different company. However, TASKKILL is part of Windows XP and in most cases has the same result.

Yeah I type in "help move" in CMD and it gives me a list, which I was working by.

Thanks allanol, ill use task kill then on my apps the reason I ask for steam install.

I know this should be discussed in app switches but to save another thread -

basically I kill the isntall after i use sleep 25 on it, as it asks if i want to restart even with /S as its a wise installer.

But I cant remember if steam launches itself after, so im going to put taskkill steam.exe anyway, will i get any error messages/problems if i try to kill a process that is not there?

[Alanoll]

Steam does try to start itself (if memory serves)

You'll get an error, but it won't be an error that can stop the install. It'll just be a line of text stating that the "image" wasn't found.

Thanks alot for your help in this thread Alanoll, very appreciated.

just remember taskkill's usage is slightly different from pskill..

taskkill.exe /f /IM iexplore.exe

Will kill an Internet Explorer window

taskkill.exe /f /IM iexplore.exe /FI "WINDOWTITLE eq Yahoo!"

Will kill an Internet Explorer window titled Yahoo!

heh got to pimp AutoIt...yeah off topic to some degree.

FileMove ( "G:\My Documents\Firefox Downloads\installer.ico", "G:\My Documents\installer.ico" , 1 )
ProcessClose ( "iexplore.exe" )
WinClose ( "Yahoo!" )
