hi, thanks for your reply to all of you.

The sample I gave was more for testing. In my real project I get the source url from a database.
I pass them also quoated to copy(), but I always get this error ($!): (No such file or directory)

If I print source and target URL to check if they are quoted I get:
source: '/Users/ademmler/testing mit leerzeichen/myfile.pdf'
target: '/Users/wfdata/myfile.pdf'

I have tried to use singel and double quotes . . . no change.
Mac OS X escapes the blank with \ and if I pass the path to my above testscript like this it works also. But if I try to add a \ via regex into the URL it does not work . . .

Regards Alex
