Example

The following example makes a backup copy of a configuration file named config.ini and places it inside the same folder in which it is located, with a new name:

var originalFileURI="file:///C|/Program Files/MyApp/config.ini"; 
var newFileURI="file:///C|/Program Files/MyApp/config_backup.ini"; 
FLfile.copy(originalFileURI, newFileURI);

If you prefer, you can perform the same task with a single command:

FLfile.copy("file:///C|:/Program Files/MyApp/config.ini", file:///C|/Program Files/MyApp/config_backup.ini");
