When ever I use the 'copy' program to a floppy disk within a computer terminal, like:

copy file disk/

It copies to the very last folder in the disk folder. How do I change which folder it goes to?

Are you rewriting copy or looking to use the existing version more effectively?

Making a program that just copies content from 1 disk to another. I just can't get the copy part right, everything else is fine :X

are you basing it off the code i gave you? if you are then look at the loops I made to copy all the programs out of it but not copy the directory itself because you cannot overwrite the disk directory

[tom2018]

tocopy = fs.list("disk")
leng = #tocopy
at = 1
while leng > 0 do
helpful = "disk2/"..tocopy[at]
helpful2 = "disk/"..tocopy[at]
if fs.exists(helpful) then
at = at + 1
else
fs.copy(helpful2,helpful)
leng = leng - 1
at = at + 1
end

are the loops i am talking about
