COPY Statement

[konaexpress]

Hi all,

I found the COPY statement in the BaCon Docs and was wondering how I can use it. It said it's COPY(file) TO(path). I was wondering if I can rename a file with it too?

Like this:

COPY(white-right.txt) TO(/home/user/.conkyrc)

Thanks for any help on this,
John

Hi John

save this code as 'test1.bac' then compile and run

'test1.bac
COPY "test1.bac" TO "test2.bac"

Many examples in the Zip file I gave you ( can`t remember what ).

Thanks,

I looked at them first before I went dumpster diving in the sample code. LOL

I'm going to test Alex's idea and see what I find.

official main page (Peter may add some new options or features here first)
www.basic-converter.org/documentation.html#COPY

The main site converted to wiki formatting (community)
wiki.basic-converter.org/index.php?title=Bacon_docs#COPY


Peter set up a wiki page and gave a few people permission
to maintain documentation BaCon has grown a lot this means if you do find an error or
something is not clear it can be modified
in this case the documentation is correct
with a working example given with the correct syntax


As a side note any code uploaded to the wiki is indexed
with an option to search for example code( a nice feature)

if you enter in a command then press search
any and all code that used let's say BUTTON
would be found

Yea, I found some code yesterday that helped me out in understanding a couple widgets. Nice place to put that stuff Bigbass.

@alex.....Thanks, that worked great! I think that is what I'm looking for.

bigbass.......Thanks again for that link as I had to look at it a few times. Kept putting ( ) and not " ". I should pay more attention to detail.

Now in the first part of copy, I put "white-right.txt" but what do I put if I want it to use a file that has been selected by the list box? Back in the day we would use things like "*.txt" for anything that ended in .txt. Is it something like this or do I need to use a SUB for the listbox and have it assign a value to what was selected? Like "My_File = file selection" or can all this be done with COPY.

Thanks all,
John

EDIT........not sure why Bigbass now has a link?
