Hi!
I'm working on a new script for use with PACL and during the tests of it I discovered some new information regarding the problem described in this thread.

1. You want drive/share included into the path
2. If we have multiple share paths in list file, it will not work. Only single line works?

thanks!

I have tested this with 2 different list files
List file with one row (Listfile_Singlerow.txt)

Q:\Dokument\Amiga\*.pcx

List file with two rows (Listfile_Doublerow.txt)

Q:\Dokument\Amiga\*.pcx
R:\Cinemaware\*.adf

Running the command with single line list row

Q:\>

As you can see, the results is now successful. The problem appears when you are using the -p parameter in the command, but if you are using the -P parameter instead, multiple rows in list files works without any problem.

I haven't tested this with \\<machine>\<sharename>\ in list files but most likely it will work the same depending on if you use the -P parameter.

I believe we can remove issue 2 from the list, however I would like to know why it works with -P but not with -p

Kind Regards
