Thank you ioa747 I thought for sure I would need to have quotes around it, and I thought it works when I put them into the FileCopy as below, so I did not think that would be the issue. Thank you for your help. That was driving me crazy but its so simple, just like I thought it would be. Have a great day. FileCopy("C:\Users\Wolffe\AppData\Roaming\Dolphin Emulator\GC\USA\Card A\","C:\Users\Wolffe\Documents\DolphinSaves\",$FC_OVERWRITE + $FC_CREATEPATH)

In my code below I create variables with two paths. One contains several files (GCSaves), the other does not yet exist (backupPath). If I run my code with FileCopy($fOrigin,$fDest,$FC_OVERWRITE + $FC_CREATEPATH) nothing happens. All of the code is posted bellow, by the way. That code was given the correct variables ahead of time but does not work. If I use ConsoleWrite("FileCopy("&$fOrigin&','&$fDest&",$FC_OVERWRITE + $FC_CREATEPATH)" & @CRLF) to write my whole command out to the console. I then copy that output which looks like FileCopy("C:\Users\Wolffe\AppData\Roaming\Dolphin Emulator\GC\USA\Card A\" , "C:\Users\Wolffe\Documents\DolphinSaves\",$FC_OVERWRITE + $FC_CREATEPATH) If I run the above FileCopy, that I got from the ConsoleWrite, it works exactly as expected. It creates the directory and copies the files into it. I believe this means I have messed up the syntax somehow but I cannot see it.

It seems to me that it must be a simple syntax issue but I just can't see it.
