fOXPRO BUG??

When ever i issue copy file command, it makes all letters small case. Is there
a option in the vfp settings that I can change to make it copy the file the
way it is? Some of the programs we use are case sensitive.

Not as far as I know. However, if you look into the Windows Script Host,
you might find the functionality you need there.

o=create('scripting.filesystemobject')
o.copyfile('yyy.dbf','YyY2.DbF')

declare integer CopyFile in win32api string, string
copyfile('YYY2.DBF', 'yYy3.dbF')
declare integer MoveFile in win32api string, string
Movefile('YYY3.DBF', 'yYy3,dbF')
*MoveFile renames files.

Case-sensative filename routines in Windows? How's that possible?

If you're using a Unix machine to read the files, it's possible...

[Anders Altberg]

Yes, but banking on it!

We use Auotcad and truss steel. The files they use are displayed differently
depending on the upper or lower case letters.

The API and Scripting functions will register filenames as you spell them.
However, Windows filesystem is not casesensative and you can't have two
files with the same name but spelled differently in a Windows folder. If
you're using AutoCad under Windows two files with the same name but
different upper/lower case spelling would also have to be in different
folders. Unix' filesystem is case-sensative.

I just used dos command to copy and paste the files. It is copied and pasted
the same. I don't know why vfp does not do this. If you know of any patches
that will fix this, please let me know
