I sent this once and it did not appear in the list. Maybe I typed the
list name wrong?
I apologize if this appears twice.
I think the following code below should work (unfortunately, my email
program wants to wrap the code). The results of the echo
statement look fine! When I cut and paste the results of the echo, the
robocopy command works great!
OK! Now I want to automate it and instead of just displaying the
robocopy command with echo, actually execute it!
But why won't it execute directly?
For some reason, I get the errors below. Why is robocopy getting
confused on the input and output files?
Thanks
