Troubles with SHFILEOPSTRUCT

Code:

// Copy the picture file to the system directory.
            ZeroMemory(&fop, sizeof(SHFILEOPSTRUCT));  // this is just for testing.
            fop.hwnd = hwnd;
            fop.wFunc = FO_COPY;

            //test
            //strcat(pPath2Pic, "\0");

            fop.pFrom = pPath2Pic;    //Path2Pic

            // Change path to new dir. with picture name and ext.
            strcpy(pCopyTo, "\0");

            //test
            strcat(DF.Path2SystemsDirSystemID, "\0");

            strcpy(pCopyTo, DF.Path2SystemsDirSystemID);
            strcat(pCopyTo, "\\");
            strcat(pCopyTo, pPartNumber);
            strcat(pCopyTo, pFileExt);
            strcat(pCopyTo, "\0");

            fop.pTo = pCopyTo;
            fop.fFlags = FOF_NOCONFIRMATION;    // Add flag FOF_NOCONFIRMATION  for no confirmation
            test = SHFileOperation (&fop);        // RETURNS 0 for SUCCESS, != 0 failure.
            //  Do not use GetLastError with the return values of this function.    
            if((fop.fAnyOperationsAborted) || test)
            {
                MessageBox(NULL, "Error copying picture file!", "Error:", MB_OK);
            }

Here is what the debugger says the values are:

+ pFrom 0x0048b0d8 "D:\__My_Users\_Jon\__My_Documents\Desktop\TF_VG_4 51T_SS_CENTER\450-110-Steel.jpg" const char *
+ pTo 0x0017f1d8 "d:\__Programming\__MSVS_Projects\Storefront Estimation Program_CURRENT\Data\Systems\system1\450-110-Steel.JPG" const char *

The error message says otherwise:

This path is the path to my project not the file. What gives?

/edit
fop.fAnyOperationsAborted = 1
test = 5

This occurs on the 6th iteration of this proceedure!

I guess after looking at the error dialog again, I am not sure but it appears to me that this is saying it is trying to copy FROM the destination folder instead of the copy from dir. But the debugger values are correct! Just ignore my statement: "This path is the path to my project not the file."

Thanks in advance.

If I select 'yes' to the Copy file dialog it actually create a new sub-folder with the name of the jpg it is supposed to copy and also copies the jpg to this new sub-directory.
So if my correct path is:

D:\__Programming\__MSVS_Projects\Storefront Estimation Program_CURRENT\Data\Systems\system1

and the file name is:

450-110-Steel.JPG

It copies the file to:

D:\__Programming\__MSVS_Projects\Storefront Estimation Program_CURRENT\Data\Systems\system1\450-110-Steel.JPG\450-110-Steel.JPG

When it should be:

D:\__Programming\__MSVS_Projects\Storefront Estimation Program_CURRENT\Data\Systems\system1\450-110-Steel.JPG

So I must have an error in the fop.pTo = pCopyTo; variable, but the debugger says it is correct. I thought that the ZeroMemory line and building the path right before assigning the variable to fop.pTo would assure that I wouldn't get some hard to find bug. Guess I was wrong ;(
I also noticed it doesn't always fail on the 6th iteration sometimes it fails on the 5th or even the 8th pass.

If the debugger says it is correct how do I go about finding out what is wrong?

> strcat(pCopyTo, "\0");
This does NOT make your string double null terminated, as specified by SHFILEOPSTRUCT Structure (Windows)

buff[strlen(buff)+1] = '\0';
is how you do this.

However, this only works if you have one filename in the buffer.

If you want something like
file1\0file2\0file3\0\0
you should invent your own "cat" function that can append to a buffer containing \0, and ending with \0\0

Oh crap! I have made this mistake before. Thanks Salem for keeping me humble!

Maybe I should lay off of the cough syrup!
