Title: Copy an icon to all drawers in a path?
Post by: motorollin on May 21, 2006, 04:58:38 PM

I want to copy a drawer icon to all drawers in a specified path. For example:

1.>COPY ENVARC:Sys/def_drawer.info Games:folders/#?.info

I know this won't work, as a wildcard can't be used as the destination in a copy command. Is there an easy way to do this?

There is a command that comes with NewIcons that adds icons to the specified list of files.  I'd expect it to understand wildcards, but not sure if that's much use for drawers.

The drawers are the only objects in the location to which the icons need to be copied, so if the command will accept wildcards then I should be able to use #?. I'll give it a try. Thanks!
