Openpage action copy file to temp

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Sep 16.2005

Is there somebody who can help me out with a tiny simple script.
All it has to do is actually copy a file from a cd to a temp folder on a users local temp.

The idea is the following: I have a CD that contains a database. It is accessed through a html.
Whenever that html is opened, i would like it to copy the database from cd to the local temp, so it can be accessed from there, instead of from the cd.

Maybe i should ask this in the html-forum, i’m not sure.

Also related to this i was wondering:

Supose there would be a script doing just that; If the html page is opened two times in a row without the temp being emptied, wouldn’t there be a question to overwrite the previous database-file in the temp.? Or maybe the script should also remove the file whenever the html is closed…?

And also; is there a temp folder that is the same on all windows platforms? Like c:/windows/Temp for example?

I know, alot of questions, but maybe for wizards like you fairly easy to handle heh. Any help is really appriciated.

Thanks in advance

@nogisauthorSep 19.2005 — Mm..that's another approach that might do the trick.

It does leave me with a few questions though;

  • 1. If the autorun isn't enabled on the users comp, the file will never be copied.

  • 2. The file will not be removed out of the temp folder when the program is closed down

  • 3. How do i put it in the autorun.ini?


    • Any idea's on this?
