COPY
COPY SourcePath TO DestinationPath

Copies a file from SourcePath to DestinationPath.

The destination path does not need to have the same name as the source path.

Note that you cannot copy directories recursively with this function.

Example

' Save the gambas configuration file
COPY User.Home &/ ".config/gambas/gambas.conf" TO "/mnt/save/gambas.conf.save"

Errors

MessageDescription
File already exists (38) The destination file already exists.

This instruction internally uses the functions OPEN, READ, WRITE and CLOSE. So it can raise any of their errors.
