Ok so my problem is I am running a shell command to copy certain file types from one directory to another and it returns multiple errors
the code is models=c("1sFE1cFE","1sFE1cFEp") for(m in 1:length(models)){ shell(paste("robocopy C:\\Sim_Test_1\\Sim",models[m]," "," C:\\Sim_Test_1\\SimArchive\\Sim",dirnum,"\\pinrepstd *.std *.rep *.tpl *.pin *crap.txt",sep=""),wait=TRUE) } the errors are Warning messages: 1: running command 'C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe /c robocopy C:\Sim_Test_1\Sim1sFE1cFE C:\Sim_Test_1\SimArchive\Sim001\pinrepstd *.std *.rep *.tpl *.pin *crap.txt' had status 1 2: In shell(paste("robocopy C:\\Sim_Test_1\\Sim", models[m], " ", " C:\\Sim_Test_1\\SimArchive\\Sim", : 'robocopy C:\Sim_Test_1\Sim1sFE1cFE C:\Sim_Test_1\SimArchive\Sim001\pinrepstd *.std *.rep *.tpl *.pin *crap.txt' execution failed with error code 1 3: running command 'C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe /c robocopy C:\Sim_Test_1\Sim1sFE1cFEp C:\Sim_Test_1\SimArchive\Sim001\pinrepstd *.std *.rep *.tpl *.pin *crap.txt' had status 3 4: In shell(paste("robocopy C:\\Sim_Test_1\\Sim", models[m], " ", " C:\\Sim_Test_1\\SimArchive\\Sim", : 'robocopy C:\Sim_Test_1\Sim1sFE1cFEp C:\Sim_Test_1\SimArchive\Sim001\pinrepstd *.std *.rep *.tpl *.pin *crap.txt' execution failed with error code 3 I am not sure what the error codes mean, is there a way to decipher them? -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/shell-command-with-Robocopy-error-tp4418254p4418254.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
