Solve : Too many parameters? Help please!?

Answer»

Hi,

I am trying to copy files following a tutorial without deleting my original. I am Too many parameters.

At the C:\> prompt. I did cd dos

C:\DOS> Now I went copy c: \dos\edit.com c: \fruit

Is that right? I get too many parameters.Quote from: php111 on May 25, 2008, 08:32:31 PM

remove the SPACE between the drive name and the slash. as In:
Code: [Select]c:\dos\edit.com c:\fruit

I REALLY truly don't understand. From what you wrote to what I wrote they both look the same.

php11, this is what you wrote (which is wrong)

copy c: \dos\edit.com c: \fruit

This is what BC_programmer wrote (which is right)

copy c:\dos\edit.com c:\fruit

Do you see the difference now?

I am getting confused. There looks like a space either way I go.There is a space after c: in what you wrote.

There is no space in what BC_programmer wrote.

Anyway, why don't you TRY it and see?
