I need to copy an Access 2000 database from a Windows NT web server to an InfoServer just once a day.
I assume I can do this by copying the Access 2000 database to the InfoServer using a Perl Script running on the Windows Task Scheduler.
If the copy is the way to go, our web server does not have File::Copy module so I am trying to use the below script to do the job. Please advise if I have this correct and this can be done with an Access 2000 database?
use strict; my $filename = "myDatabaseName.mdb"; open(FILEOPENED, $filename) || die "Can't open file: $filename \n"; while ($line = <FILEOPENED>) { print "$line \n"; my $cmd = "copy H:currdir\\$line \\\infoserver\\destinationDir"; + print "$cmd\n"; my $result = system($cmd); if ($result) { warn qq(Couldn't execute "$cmd"!\n); next; } } close(FILEOPENED);
