in reply to How to copy files ?

Otherwise, this is my script and not working...

Ah, one of those "not working" fans. Too lazy to indicate anything, just "is doesn't work". The man who goes to the car mechanic with "my car doesn't work". The man who goes to the doctor with "I have pain". No futher explaination. Why should he? He's going to the experts! They immediately know what's wrong. They just use ESP and know whether the problems lies in compiling, run-time errors, unexpected output, wrong assumptions what the program should be doing, or something else.

Well, here's my answer: if the program doesn't work, you have a bug!

    The difference here is that, of course, car mechanics and doctors get paid for their expertise. You're right to be upset with the poster, but I thought I'd just augment your argument.
