I have file "S:\copy-test\King's Bounty.txt", but I can't copy it!
When I use "Far Manager" for copy - I have no problems, but, I need command line fore copiing such files.
Where is problem?
 
I wonder if either the file or the directory is marked Hidden or System? Unless you explicitly ask for such directories or files with the attribute sxitch, e.g., /A:H, they are ignored as if they did not exist BTW, AFAIK none of the JPsoft staff can read Russian, but you appear to understand English, try to switch TCMD to English to report your problems.
 
The problem is probably with your destination file ("d:\aaa.txt"), not the source file. When COPY gets an error from Windows, it doesn't know whether the source or destination file is the problem, so it has to guess which one to display. If the target file exists and is read-only (or hidden or system), or if you're trying to copy a file into a root directory on Windows 7 and you're not in an elevated process, Windows will refuse to do the copy. I have no idea what the Russian error message means, but it's returned by Windows, not TCC. (TCC just calls the Windows CopyFile API to perform the file copy.)

What happens if you try that command line in CMD?
 
Yes. But without russian.dll I have russian message again:

Yes. That text is provided by Windows, not TCC.

Can you copy the file using wildcards -- *.TXT for example?

Are you typing out the entire filename? If so, you might try using tab completion instead. If there are strange characters in the filename, tab completion might work around the problem.

Does the same command work in CMD.EXE ?
 
[...] if you're trying to copy a file into a root directory on Windows 7 and you're not in an elevated process, Windows will refuse to do the copy.

That doesn't seem to be true.
Code:
v:\> echo %_elevated & copy avtemp.btm l:\
0
V:\avtemp.btm => L:\avtemp.btm
    1 file copied

It is interesting, that:

for CMD.EXE
:-((((((((((
But Far.exe can copy both files without questions.
Question: problem in Windows API or in "copy program"?
 
My computer at work does that something like that for the C: drive. I can create directories in the root folder of the drive, but am unable to create files in the root folder. That's what your problem looks like.
 
Are you typing the entire filename character by character, or are you using tab completion?

I write file s:\copy-test\test.btm, that contain 3 strings:
mkdir d:\aaaaaaa
copy "S:\copy-test\King's Bounty.txt" d:\aaaaaaa\aaa.txt
copy "s:\copy-test\aaa'aaa aaa.txt" d:\aaaaaaa\bbb.txt
and I run it:

Why such difference?????
Can You create files and directories with same names and test "test.btm"?
 
I can't understand, how "using tab completion" can help in .btm-file?

In a .BTM file it can't. I ask you to try because I think that the filename you are typing is not the same as the file's actual name. In particular, I suspect that you may be typing Cyrillic letters where the filename contains Latin letters. (Or the other way around, though that is less likely.)

For example, the Cyrillic letter В (veh) looks like the Latin letter B (bee), but they are not the same letter. If you substitute one for the other, you'll get a file-not-found error. The same problem exists if you're typing Latin letters, but whoever created the file used a Russian К (kah) or a Greek Κ (kappa) in place of the English Kay. And so on.

If you can copy the file using tab completion, that would be a strong clue that the actual filename is not the same as what you are typing.

Yes! "tab completion" works. How I understand, filename include "russian" letter, but I gave the name from output of "dir"-command, so we find another bug(may be). Don't close the theme, please...

How did you copy the name from the DIR command into the COPY command? One method is redirection, another is copy and paste, which do not depend on human character recognition.
 
You could examine the filenames in that directory by doing something like this:

Code:
for %f in ( S:\copy-test\* ) echo %@filename[%f]  %@ascii[%@filename[%f]]

Values from 33 to 64 are punctuation and digits; 65 to 122 are mostly Latin letters; 913 to 969 are Greek; and 1040 to 1103 are Cyrillic.

Aha! Not a letter after all, but the punctuation!

You can type that character by holding down the left ALT key while typing the number 08217 on the numeric keypad (the numbers on the right side of the keyboard, not the ones at the top). Yes, you do need to type the leading zero.

Alternatively, you can rename the offending files:

Code:
cdd s:\copy-test
for %f in ( *%@char[8217]* ) ren /p "%f" "%@replace[%@char[8217],%@char[39],%f]"

Character 8217 is the Unicode right single quotation mark. In most fonts it looks a little different from the ASCII apostrophe, but in a few it looks the same....

If you want to do this in a batch file, then you must save the batch file as Unicode (UTF-16). How you do that depends on your text editor. You could also use a question mark to match the problem character:

Code:
copy "s:\copy-test\king?s bounty.txt" d:\
