I would like to copy my old auto.msg file to a file called auto.old. I am having trouble with the COPY_FILE function in Baja. I don't understand how to set up the variables correctly <str_var>. I know you set a variable with STR A, or STR B, etc, and then SETSTR B "%jmsgs\auto.msg" is how I have tried to set the path and file for the COPY_FILE command. I have read the Documentation for Baja, but can't figure it out. How do I copy a file in Baja from one file to another file, the copied having a different file name than the original?

I have no programming experience, and help or examples would be appreciated.

Thanks,
\\/

str source destination
# use forward-slash path
set source "%jmsgs/auto.msg"
set destination "%jmsgs/auto.old"
copy_file source destination
if_false
print "Failed."
else
print "Successful."
end_if
