Hi Guys,  
  
Using FB 7.0.0.1442  
  
When FB resolves a file name that includes variables, it adds a slash at the end of the directory, which creates issues when running the script  
  
  
Rename [c:\data\build\output\flow\\FlowMonitor.Exe] to [c:\data\build\output\flow\\FlowMonitorTemp.Exe]  
&nbsp; &nbsp; Status: Error  
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Date: 5/05/2014  
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Time: 17:12:34:282  
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;End: 17:12:34:327  
&nbsp; Duration: 00:00:00:045  
  
Action Messages:  
File "c:\data\build\output\flow\\FlowMonitor.Exe" doesn't exist

Attached is an image of the IDE resolving the file name wrongly.  
  
Please advise.  
  
Cheers

Hi Jackson,   
  
 Before the action is run what is the value of %TARGET%? How is that value being set in your script?
