Delphi 2007 post-build event, copy exe into specific directory?

Question

In Delphi 2007 how can I copy the newly-built exe into a specific directory using the post-build event?

Any link to a list of build event commands would be much appreciated.

Use the copy command in your post-build event:

copy "$(OUTPUTPATH)" MyFolder

The $(OUTPUTPATH) expands to the output file's full path.

Can I make this generic by using outputdir or outputname? I cn never remember the difference! – SteB Oct 28 '12 at 15:24
Yep, I added what you need. Doesn't your IDE list the available macros? – David Heffernan Oct 28 '12 at 15:26
Wouldn't it be better to quote source and destination? There could be spaces in either of those paths. – mghie Dec 05 '12 at 12:50
