Subject: Re: copying files syntax with FileUtils.rb (grr.)

Two things:

(1) I still have trouble with this.  I'm following Doug's example, and 
I'm getting this exception about the target directory.  The script 
output:

The file to be moved is 
"/home/t3905/codes/xcobra/ddec12/nhyd_mod/build/new_build/mod_files/ANF1_diff_wb"

The destination file is 
"/home/t3905/codes/xcobra/ddec12/nhyd_mod/build/new_build/hp/file_diff/source_diff/ANF1_diff_wb"

So the current file plus path and destination file plus path are all 
set.  Now I simply do the FileUtils.cp (or .mv) using the regular 
syntax.  Naturally, it does not work:

Exception `Errno::ENOENT' at 
/home/t3905/ruby/ruby-1.8.7-p22/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/fileutils.rb:1420 
- No such file or directory - 
/home/t3905/codes/xcobra/ddec12/nhyd_mod/build/new_build/hp/file_diff/source_diff/ANF1_diff_wb

Why is it puking about the destination file not existing?  That's why 
I'm trying to move it..



(2) I have no idea why I should continue fighting this, when I can 
simply utilize a system command that I *never* have to fight with. 
Using a UNIX cp works simpler and easier on both Linux and other UNIX 
platforms, and I never have any problems with it.  Never.
