You don't need to. CopyFile will not return until the process is completed.

Hello Marcus,

Thank you for your answer.
You are right and i should have known this with a simple test :oops: :

Code: Select all

let>x=0
let>y=
Repeat>x
  let>x=x+1
  ConCat>y,%x%%CRLF%
Until>x=10000
//delete output files first
DeleteFile>%CWD%\10000_lines.txt
DeleteFile>%CWD%\10000_lines_copy.txt
//write 10000 lines to CWD
WriteLn>%CWD%\10000_lines.txt,result,%y%
CopyFile>%CWD%\10000_lines.txt,%CWD%\10000_lines_copy.txt
ReadFile>%CWD%\10000_lines_copy.txt,testvar
//next writelines from testvar to output file
message>testvar
Best regards,

wil
