Hi ALL, I am a newbee programmer and started of with python recently. I am trying write a script which backups outlook (.pst ) files everytime I shutdown my system. I have writtern following code after some findings on net. My .pst file path is as follows
" c:\documents and settings\060577\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook " where 060577 represents username. I want my script to identigy the user logged in and go to the resp outlook folder or should be able to read outlook store directory path from registry and the copy the files to the desired path. --------------------------------------------------- how can i make the following code work, I have probelm with filepath declaration. --------------------------------------------------- import os, shutil filepath = ' C:\\Documents and Settings\\060577\\Local Settings\\Application Data\\Microsoft\\Outlook\\* ' backup = ' D:\\temp\\outlook ' os.system ("xcopy /s %s %s" % (filepath, backup)) ----------------------------------------- Thank you, Kk -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
