COPY DOCUMENT
COPY DOCUMENT
The COPY DOCUMENT command copies the file or folder specified by sourceName to the location specified by destinationName and, optionally, renames it.
Note that you can pass a file in the sourceName parameter and a folder in the destinationName parameter, in order to copy a file into a folder. The optional newName parameter, when it is passed, renames the document copied to its destination location (file or folder). When it is passed in the context of copying a file, this parameter replaces the name (if any) passed in the destinationName parameter. The following example duplicates a document in its own folder:
COPY DOCUMENT("C:\\FOLDER\\DocName";"C:\\FOLDER\\DocName2") The following example copies a document to the database folder (provided C:\\FOLDER is not the database folder):
COPY DOCUMENT("C:\\FOLDER\\DocName";"DocName") The following example copies a document from one volume to another one:
COPY DOCUMENT("C:\\FOLDER\\DocName";"F:\\Archives\\DocName.OLD") The following example duplicates a document in its own folder overriding an already existing copy:
COPY DOCUMENT("C:\\FOLDER\\DocName";"C:\\FOLDER\\DocName2";*) Copying a file into a specific folder while keeping the same name: COPY DOCUMENT("C:\\Projects\\DocName";"C:\\Projects\\") Copying a file into a specific folder while keeping the same name and overriding the existing document: COPY DOCUMENT("C:\\Projects\\DocName";"C:\\Projects\\"; *) Copying a folder into another folder (both folders must already be present on the disk): COPY DOCUMENT("C:\\Projects\\";"C\\Archives\\2011\\") The following examples create different files and folders in the database folder (examples under Windows). In each case, the "folder2" folder must exist: COPY DOCUMENT("folder1\\name1";"folder2\\")
