Folder Does Exist, File Copy code check please

[nitrobry]

Hi All
Can someone check my code please
I want to add a folder and a file if exist's.
The code below Creates a folder but don't copy the file to that folder, the folder is empty.

The GameList.db file is located at Autoplay Docs.

if Folder.DoesExist("C:\\My Games") then
  File.Copy("\\AutoPlay\\Docs\\GameList.db", "C:\\My Games", true, true, false, true, nil);
else
 Folder.Create("C:\\My Games");
end

"\\AutoPlay\\Docs\\GameList.db" should be "AutoPlay\\Docs\\GameList.db" but do use application get last error as it would tell you the file does not exist.

Thanks Shrek
Is this how it goes for the application get last error
because it creates the folder but no file added

-- Check to see if a specific folder exists.
if Folder.DoesExist("C:\\My Games") then
  File.Copy("\\AutoPlay\\Docs\\GameList.db", "C:\\My Games", true, true, false, true, nil);
else
 Folder.Create("C:\\My Games");
end


--Check to see if an error occurred.
error = Application.GetLastError();

-- If an error occurred, display the error message.
if (error ~= 0) then
    Dialog.Message("Error", _tblErrorMessages[error], MB_OK, MB_ICONEXCLAMATION);
end

-- Check to see if a specific folder exists.
if Folder.DoesExist("C:\\My Games") then
  File.Copy("AutoPlay\\Docs\\GameList.db", "C:\\My Games", true, true, false, true, nil);
  local err = Application.GetLastError()
  if (err ~= 0) then
    Dialog.Message("Error", _tblErrorMessages[err].."\r\n".."AutoPlay\\Docs\\GameList.db", MB_OK, MB_ICONEXCLAMATION);
  end
else
 Folder.Create("C:\\My Games");
end

try the _SourceFolder variable instead if that don't work.

Also make a check the file is in the folder before coping

Hi All
Thanks for the help

This has now been fixed. I used this code

if not Folder.DoesExist("C:\\My Games")then
  Folder.Create("C:\\My Games");
end
File.Copy("\\AutoPlay\\Docs\\GameList.db", "C:\\My Games", true, true, false, true, nil);
