Hello, I have quite weird case, which is causing some problems on my environment.
Let's say I have some network drive, mapped to X:\ on that I have application in following structure:
X:\PROJECT\QVD_generator.qvw
X:\PROJECT\QVD\ * ( directory with files )
X:\OTHER_PROJECT\QVD\* ( directory with files )
Inside generator I have relative paths :
let qvd=".\qvd\";
let qvd_other_project = "..\OTHER_PROJECT\qvd\";
the problem is that I want to copy all files generated within qvd directory to "other project" . One of developer which wrote script decided to call :
STORE $(qvd)FILE.QVD
STORE $(qvd_other_project)FILE.QVD
The problem is that this type of behavior is repeated 3 x per file and depends form environment. I believe it's not the best practice that's why I want to use some post process to copy all fles from $qvd into $qvd_other_project and here is the problem
I'm using command
EXECUTE cmd.exe /C copy <file> <file>
what makes sense only when I use full paths, because due to network drive possibility of using relative paths seems to be limited.
so call above will not work :
EXECUTE cmd.exe /C copy .\QVD\FILE.QVD ..\OTHER_PROJECT\QVD\FILE.QVD
but call works fine
EXECUTE cmd.exe /C copy X:\QVD\FILE.QVD X:\OTHER_PROJECT\QVD\FILE.QVD
I'm able to finish this task but it's really far away from something what can be done with any other standard programming language.
for each file in FileList(' <someqvdmask >' )
// file now has full path
LET fileName = Subfield( '$file' .....
LET dir = concatenation of $file's path with $qvd_other_project
EXECUTE cmd.exe /C $(file) $(dir)$(fileName)
next file
What is painful, I'm unable to use all functions which are working on paths, because they can be used only with LOAD statement.
