Name: copyResource
Type: function
Syntax: copyResource(<file>, <destinationFile>, <resType>,{<resID> | <resName>}[, <newID>])
Summary: Copies a <resource> from one <Mac OS> <file> to another.
Introduced: 1.0
OS: mac
Platforms: desktop,web
Security: disk
Example:
get copyResource("Template","New Build","vers",1,1)
Example:
put copyResource(theFile,anotherFile,"XCMD","SetPort") into trashVar
Example:
get copyResource(field "Source",currentFile,nextResource,200)
Parameters:
file: The name and location of the file containing the resource. If you specify a name but not a location, LiveCode assumes the file is in the defaultFolder.
destinationFile: The name and location of the file you want to copy the resource to.
resType: The 4-character type of the resource you want to move.
resID (integer): An integer that specifies the resource ID of the resource you want to copy.
resName: The name of the resource you want to copy.
newID (integer): An integer that specifies the resource ID for the newly-copied resource.
The result: If the <file> does not exist, the <result> is set to "can't find file". If the <destinationFile> does not exist, the <copyResource> <function> creates the <file>, but the <result> is set to "can't create resource fork for destination file". If the <destinationFile> exists but has no <resource fork>. the <copyResource> function creates the <resource fork> and copies the <resource> to it. If the <destinationFile> is open, the <result> is set to "Can't open resource fork".
Returns: The <copyResource> <function> always <return|returns> empty.
Description:
Use the <copyResource> function to copy <resource|resources> (such as icons, externals, and version <resource|resources>) from one <file> to another.
If you don't specify a <newID>, the new <resource> has the same ID as the original <resource>. Specifying a <newID> does not change the resource ID of the original <resource> in the <file>; it only affects the copy in the <destinationFile>.
