Copy doesn't allow wildcard * on destination

[haenschen]

Describe the bug Copy doesn't allow wildcard * on destination

To Reproduce

copy file1.1 *.dat
Illegal wildcard on destination

Expected behaviour

copy file1.1 *.dat
file1.1 =>> file1.dat

Attach program/game binaries or provide an URL Works with freecom and MS-DOS command.com

A regression? With comcom32

Added some hackish wildcard support.

Thanks. I tested it, but it doesn't work as expected. Let's say I'm in a directory test1 and want to copy files from a subdirectory test2 into this one: copy test2\*.* *.* Fails with Unable to open destination file - c:\TEST1\*xt.*u

To be fair, this case wasn't represented in my initial report :)

Ah, I see. So it has to do with a previous command. To reproduce, create a batch file

if exist test2\file1.1 copy test2\file1.1 file1.dat
copy test2\*.* *.*

and call it.

Provided the first if clause succeeds the second copy will fail with

Unable to open destination file - c:\TEST1\*le1.*

Test case attached copytest.zip

Should now be fixed.
