COPY
Field of Application Statement for copying files.
Syntax COPY[,]
Chapter 2 Program Instructions
is the name and optionally directory of the original file.
is, optionally, a new name and/or device for the copy.
Remarks This statement allows you to copy a file to another name and/or device as an
alternative to LOADing the file in question and then SAVEing it.
If no directory is specified for the original and/or copy, the current directory
will be used by default (see CHDIR statement). By default, the current
directory is "c:", i.e. the printer's permanent memory. If the file is to be be
copied from or to another directory than the current one, the file name must
contain a directory reference.
A file cannot be copied to the same name in the same directory.
In addition to copying files to the printer's permanent or temporar memory or
a DOS-formatted memory card, a file can also be copied to an output device
such as the printer's display or a serial communication channel. Copying a
program to the standard OUT channel has the same effect as LOADing and
LISTing it.
Note that bitmap fonts and images are not files and therefore cannot be
copied.
Examples In the following examples, "c:" is the current directory.
Copying a file from "card1:" to the current directory without changing the
file name:
COPY "card1:LABEL1.PRG"
Copying a file from "card1:" to the current directory and changing the file
name:
COPY "card1:FILELIST.PRG","COPYTEST.PRG"
Copying a file from "c:" to a directory other than the current one without
changing the file name:
COPY "c:FILELIST.PRG","card1:FILELIST.PRG"
Copying a file in the current directory to a new name within the same
directory:
COPY "LABEL1.PRG","LABEL2.PRG"
Copying a file in the current directory to serial channel "uart1:":
COPY "LABEL1.PRG","UART1:"
