Robocopy and LiveCode

[zaxos]

Hello everyone, I'm looking for a way to use Robocopy with LiveCode since revCopyFolder/File uses Xcopy and that dosent suit me, thanks alot in advance for your help

see the shell() function in the dictionary

Thank you for your answer BvG! I decided to continue with my project after a LONG time...
so here is the question, shell function hangs the whole program untill the copy ends and as far as i know there is no threading system yet implemented in livecode.
is there a way to overcome this? i tried launch but this limits me on the progress bar side since i dont get live feedback from robocopy
Thank you for your time.

I'l take that as a no. I managed to finish my project and everything is working fine but now i have enother question, i used revBrowserOpen but when i set windowShape on the stack the browser stop showing anything, it still works beacoz i can click on rec i had set i just cant see anything.
Thank you for your time.

Hi zaxos,
I think you should start another thread as this question doesn't apply to Robocopy.
windowShape and revBrowser.
