Windows NT, and "move"...

Windows NT, and "move"...
Hi guys,

Can anyone tell me where I'm going wrong with this command?

move d:\inetpub\wwwroot\domain.com\submit\docs\3\2\23-This is the latest test_files\*.* d:\inetpub\wwwroot\domain.com\submit\docs\images\3\2\23\

I've tried everything I can think of (including changing \ to /), but I keep getting an "invalid syntax error". I'm not that familiar with NT (as you can probably tell =)), so any advice is much appreciated.

Cheers

It seems to work for me.

Obviously I don't have that path on my system but running the command says "Device not ready" - I would assume that a syntax error would be reported before it tried accessing the path, therefore the syntax must have been accepted.

Yeah, thats what confused me :(

Do you think it may be down to the folder name? (I know UNIX can be fussy with " " not being replaced with "%20") Unsure

It crossed my mind, but when I tried the command it ran successfully (aside from the fact it couldn't find the path).

Having said that, I just created a test folder with spaces in the name and I now get a syntax error.

The solution is to wrap the path with quotes.... "d:\inetpub\foo bar xyz"
