copy file by programming [message #528969]

Hi everyone,

I want to make a copy of a file in the project folder by programming (e.g., in my plugin, I want to select a file and run a popup menu option, which triggers an action - making a copy of the file first and then do some modifications). I need to know how to copy a file in Java so that I can write the ActionHandler.

Is there an API or sample code to do this?

Thanks a lot.

Yu

Hi Yu,
have a look at the IFile API:

best regards,
Jan
