I am trying to copy a file using Installscript copy file function:
bRet=CopyFile( szUnattendIni, szStatusFile );
where the file referred by szUnattendIni is passed as command line argument.
When I pass this file from commandline using double quotes, bRet returns an error saying "System cannot find the file specified"...but when I pass the same name without double quotes, it works fine.
I tried adding a check before copying to verify whether source file exists using:
if(Is( FILE_EXISTS,szUnattendIni)) then
MessageBox("File Exists",INFORMATION);
endif;
In both the cases, the message box is displayed saying the file exists.
I want to support paths with directory name containing spaces for which double quotes is required. But I am not able to. How can I fix this problem.
I found the answer, it is an issue with the Installscript CopyFile function.

I tried PGP encrypting a file in ChoPGP library. At the end of the process it shows embedded file name along with the whole original file name path.
But I thought it will show only the filename without the whole path. Which I intend to work on and figure out a way to do so?
Doing the following:
using (ChoPGPEncryptDecrypt pgp = new ChoPGPEncryptDecrypt())
{
pgp.EncryptFile(#"\\appdevtest\c$\appstest\Transporter\test\Test.txt",
#"\\appdevtest\c$\appstest\Transporter\test\OSCTestFile_ChoPGP.gpg",
#"\\appdevtest\c$\appstest\Transporter\pgpKey\PublicKey\atorres\atorres_publicKey.asc",
true,
true);
}
which will result in:
But I would like to only extract the Test.txt in the end something
like this:
Looking at this line from the ChoPGP sources: https://github.com/Cinchoo/ChoPGP/blob/7152c7385022823013324408e84cb7e25d33c3e7/ChoPGP/ChoPGPEncryptDecrypt.cs#L221
You may find out that it uses internal function GetFileName, which ends up with this for the FileStream: return ((FileStream)stream).Name;.
And this one, according to documentation, Gets the absolute path of the file opened in the FileStream..
So you should either make fork of ChoPGP and modify this line to extract just filename, or submit a pull request to the ChoPGP. Btw, it's just a wrapper around the BouncyCastle so you may use that instead.
I need to write out a file to a certain path that contains a special character in R. the path is something like this: C:/Users/Technology ＆ Innovation/Webscraping files/US_data/data
It works totally fine when I access this path through python, but I cannot access the same path in R. And I cannot change this path name or remove '＆' as this path is used by a lot of people. Does anyone have a good idea on how to solve it?
I found out it is '＆' which has subtle difference from '&' that we usually type in through English Keyboard. May be that's the reason causing the problem?
Here is what I have tried:
write.csv(df, 'C:/Users/Technology ＆ Innovation/Webscraping files/US_data/data/file.csv').
write.csv(df, 'C:\\Users\\Technology ＆ Innovation\\Webscraping files\\US_data/data/file.csv')
Not matter whether I try to read or write a file, it is not working in my case.
I also tried reset the working directory path and got the error message:
Error in setwd("C:/Users/Technology & Innovation/Webscraping files/US_data/data") : cannot change working directory
Write it like this
C:\\Users\\Technology ＆ Innovation\\Webscraping files\\US_data\\data
also, you can change your current directory.
Changing your current directory will help you because you can write read.csv("filename.csv") or write.csv(name_of_file, "filename.csv") as it is without mentioning path.
If you have to write a file you have to use syntax properly.
write.csv(C:\\Users\\Technology ＆ Innovation\\Webscraping files\\US_data\\data,"filename.csv")
I need to achieve the below using Robotframework script:
c:\>runbatch "C:\Program Files (x86)\tool\bin\test.exe" C:\tool\get.ini
where runbatch is a MS DOS Batch and "C:\Program Files (x86)\tool\bin\test.exe" and C:\tool\get.ini are parameters to the batch file. The first argument contains path of a tool that has "(" and ")" in its path.
So in my Robot script I have a variable like below:
${tool_path} "C:\\Program Files (x86)\\tool\\bin\\test.exe"
${tool_ini} "C:\tool"
And invoke like below:
${RC}= Run Process ${CURDIR}/../scripts/runbatch.bat ${tool_path} ${tool_ini}\\get.ini
The execution fails but note when I run it via the same param thru the command line as standalone batch it works fine.
In the batch I added comments to just log the arguments and I found that they are completely distorted, the tool_path value is completely distorted ("\"C:\Program) and second argument becomes (Files ) - how can I fix the issue in robot script such that when a path is passed having braces are not modified?
You need to also escape the backslashes in ${tool_ini} - make its value c:\\tool; that's not the culprit thought, just something else to change.
Remove the double quotes in the arguments' values - Run Process does not need them in the way you are calling it, with a keyword argument per script argument. E.g.:
${tool_path} C:\\Program Files (x86)\\tool\\bin\\test.exe
${tool_ini} C:\\tool
${RC}= Run Process ${CURDIR}/../scripts/runbatch.bat ${tool_path} ${tool_ini}\\get.ini
The way you've put them, they have become a part of the value itself.
Alternatively, keeping the double quotes there, you can call the script with all arguments in the call line:
${tool_path} "C:\\Program Files (x86)\\tool\\bin\\test.exe"
${tool_ini} C:\\tool
${RC}= Run Process ${CURDIR}/../scripts/runbatch.bat ${tool_path} "${tool_ini}\\get.ini"
(the second one doesn't really need quotes, but I've added them for consistency)
By the way, not really an issue, yet - the script path uses slashes (/), which is a bit unorthodox for Windows. Contrary to the popular believe, the OS does support this path delimiter pretty much the same way as it supports backslashes (\), it's just not widely used and looks a bit out of place.
I want to simulate a specific case of the UNIX rename() function to rename directories. Its MAN page specifies:
oldpath can specify a directory. In this case, newpath must either not exist, or it must specify an empty directory.
I want to simulate the last case:
newpath exists and is empty.
So I have created the directories foo_dir and bar_dir and called MoveFileEx() in order to rename foo_dir to bar_dir. Here is the code without error management:
mkdir("foo_dir");
mkdir("bar_dir");
MoveFileEx("foo_dir", "bar_dir", MOVEFILE_REPLACE_EXISTING)
But MoveFileEx() always fails with error 5 (access denied). I have tried with other flags for MoveFileEx() without success.
Must I manually remove bar_dir if it exists and is empty before calling MoveFileEx()? Or is there another solution?
I have not tried ReplaceFile() yet.
I'm trying to write a bunch of functions in an SML file and then load them into the interpreter. I've been googling and came across this:
http://www.smlnj.org/doc/interact.html
Which has this section:
Loading ML source text from a file
The function use: string -> unit interprets its argument as a file name relative to sml's current directory and loads the text from that file as though it had been typed in. This should normally be executed at top level, but the loaded files can also contain calls of use to recursively load other files.
So I have a test.sml file in my current directory. I run sml, all good so far. Then I try use test.sml; and I get:
stdIn:1.6-1.14 Error: unbound structure: test in path test.sml
Not sure why this isn't working. Any ideas?
Thanks,
bclayman
As you mentioned, the function use has type string -> unit. This means it takes a string and returns unit. When you do use test.sml, you are not giving it a string. You need to do use "test.sml" (notice the quotes)
