Batch Move - Undesired warning msg

Comment:

Hello everybody, in a BAT file, I execute : move %SRC% %DST% If the source folder is empty, I received an undesired message : "The filename, directory name or volume label syntax is incorrect". Is there a mean to avoid this message to display ? Thanks in advance. Best regards.

Try %SRC%\*.* ===================================== If at first you don't succeed, you're about average. M2

are %SRC% %DST% on different hard drives? have you tried using quotes around them? ie: "%SRC%" "%DST%"

Yeah, they are on different Disks. If I use xcopy, then del, it works properly.
