    Hi, Does anyone know if there is a way to interrupt a large FILE_COPY (or FILE_MOVE) ? I have a situation where there could be a large number of files being copied, but I need to allow an operator to interrupt it. The only solution I can think of is spawning the process out to an OS copy command, allowing me to display a 'cancel' dialog to the operator'. Thanks

    Hello Lee, Your best bet would be to use SPAWN to issue the command to copy the file and then you can interrupt the process with by pressing ctrl+c in the terminal window that appears. You may want to use the IDL command CD to get to the correct directory for using SPAWN. As a side note, within IDL ctrl+c also typically stops processes, but it does not work for file_copy.
