    I have been working for the last TWO HOURS on trying to figure out why a post build event in Visual Studio kept failing! Here is what failed:

    echo f | xcopy /Y "$(ProjectDir)GryphonSoft.NetPad.addin" $(SolutionDir)AddIns\GryphonSoft.NetPad.addin"

    Can you spot the goof?

        Mismatched quotes. You've got 3 in there. 2 hours?? You really need a vacation! It took me 5 seconds to see it.

                It's one of those errors that's a lot easier for others to find. Because you know that you wouldn't miss something as silly as that, right? :rolleyes: Happens to me a lot more often than I'd like to admit.

                People say nothing is impossible, but I do nothing every day.

                        I'm guilty of that one often. Too used to scripting for sensible command lines like Linux...

                            That's why working in a team is good ... you spend 10 minutes feeling increasingly stupid and then give up and ask your colleague, who comes over and sees it in 5 seconds.
