Re: copyfile() not working on my new Win7 PC

[Tatsuro MATSUOKA]

Hello

I am still using windows XP so that I cannot help you.

Strange!! octave-3.2.3 for windows (MinGW) uses Msys and there is no relation 
to the cygwin.
Your Win 7 seems to misunderstand cp.exe on msys as that on the cygwin.
 
execute sh shell by
octave > system('sh')

Try cp command on the msys sh shell and see the response.
