VB copy file issue. Not ahmi specific
« on: October 01, 2020, 11:40:00 AM »
This is not a ahmi specific question, but I am attempting to copy a log file to a destination.  I get an error for the path, but I cannot figure out what the issue is.  Any help would be appreciated.

Can't see filename, but my problem a couple of weeks ago is this:
g:\_Filename.csv   didn't work
g:\Filename.csv does

   My.Computer.FileSystem.CopyFile(foundFile, My.Computer.FileSystem.SpecialDirectories.Desktop & foundFile.Substring(foundFile.LastIndexOf("\")))

Thank you Godra.  That worked perfectly. Can you explain the what/why?

Look at the bottom left of your picture. It shows the "foundFile" value as the whole path and not only the file name.
