Hollywood10 Amiga - copyfile saveerror

Code: Select all

execute("copy DH1:Empty_WBPattern.prefs ENV:Sys/WBPattern.prefs") ; works
copyfile("DH1:Empty_WBPattern.prefs", "ENV:Sys/WBPattern.prefs") ; write-error

Code: Select all

copyfile("DH1:Empty_WBPattern.prefs", "ENV:Sys/WBPattern.prefs") ; write-error

Remember that you have to give a directory as the destination for the CopyFile() function, not a file name. Now it probably tries to access/create a "WBPattern.prefs/" directory but fails because there's a file with the same name already. If you want to define the destination file name, use the NewName table field, but in this case you can just use "ENV:Sys" as the destination.

Thanks for the hint and your help, its working now.
