mirc/commands/copy
The /copy command can be used to copy a file or an entire directory to another location. Both the source and the destination parameters support directory names. If the source is a directory the entire directory will be copied. The source parameter also supports wildcard characters.
This command is verbose by default.
Synopsis
/copy -ao <source> <destination>
Switches
- -a - If the file exists, override it
- -o - If the file exists, append to it
Parameters
- <source> - The name of the directory or file to be copied (can be a wildcard name)
- <destination> - Destination filename (or directory)
Example
You can use the copy command to move the content of entire directories:
;Copy all the files in directory 'aaa' into directory 'bbb' copy aaa bbb
Below is a simple backup script:
;A simple backup script to back up all currently loaded script file. ; /backup Alias backup { var %dir = backup\bkup. $+ $ctime ;make sure the user wants to backup if ($input(Are you sure you want to backup all loaded the scripts?, y, Backup Scripts?)) { ;make sure the backup directory exists if (!$isdir(backup)) mkdir backup ;create the new backup directory, timestamped mkdir %dir echo -ac info [backup] %dir created! var %x = 1 ;while there is another script file while ($script(%x)) { ;backup the file .copy $qt($v1) %dir echo -ca info [backup] copying $qt($v1) inc %x } ;done! echo -ac info [backup] Backup is complete! } }
