Require some help with WPI DOS options

[Gustaaf]

Hi,

I would like to understand how to use options such as "FileCopy" wihtin the command dropdown list from the config page. The provided documentation does not cover this. Does anyone have experience using it.

You use them just as you would use the corresponding DOS command. For example, FileCopy is just like the copy command in dos. Therefore the WPI command "FILECOPY C:\testfile.txt C:\testfile.txt.bak" is equivalent to the DOS command "copy C:\testfile.txt C:\testfile.txt.bak".

The corresponding DOS command for the WPI commands are as follows:

- FILECOPY = copy

- FILEMOVE = move

- RENAME = ren

- DELETE = del

- MAKEDIR = md

- DIRCOPY = xcopy /I /E /Y

- DELDIR = rd /S /Q

For usage information about the DOS commands used, like the switches used for DIRCOPY and DELDIR, open a command prompt and type the DOS command followed by " /?" (no quotations).
