Hello,
I have a script that collects a list of files according to certain search
criteria. I have been trying to copy said list in one multi-file copy
operation.
I understand that the syntax is:
copy {file "file1", file "file2"} to folder f
I have by this point amassed a list of {file "file1",file "file2"} in a
variable, let's call it filelist. When I try to use the following:
copy filelist to folder f
or
copy {filelist} to folder f
instead of copying the list of files, it sets the variable filelist to the
value of the alias f.
What am I missing about this? I can get it to work by a repeat loop, copying
each item in filelist, but I thought it might work faster by passing the
whole list at once to the copy operation.
