K I REALLY NEED HELP!

[Zibit]

now im working on a project that could make rather large difference... this isnt the direct program but it does the components for it... so the problem is it always keeps replacing even if the size = size2

it shouldnt do that but it does!...

take a look

$search = FileFindFirstFile(@ScriptDir & "/dir1/*.*")  
$i = 0
FileDelete("files.tsf")
; Check if the search was successful
_main()
If $search = -1 Then
    MsgBox(0, "Error", "No files/directories matched the search pattern")
    Exit
EndIf
func _main()
while 1
    $file = FileFindNextFile($search) 
    $file_exist = FileExists(@ScriptDir & "/dir2/" & $file)
    $file_size = FileGetSize(@ScriptDir & "/dir1/" & $file) 
    $file_size2 = FileGetSize($file_exist) 
    if $file_size <> $file_size2 then FileWriteLine("files.tsf", $file & @CRLF)
    if $file_size <> $file_size2 then FileCopy(@ScriptDir & "/dir1/" & $file, @ScriptDir & "/patch/", 1)
    if $file_size <> $file_size2 then TrayTip("", "seems ok", 0)
        $i = $i +1
        if @error then exit
        wend
EndFunc
; Close the search handle

FileClose($search)

I really really need you to STOP typing capitals only in the thread title as that is VERY annoying.

What is this line supposed to do?

$file_size2 = FileGetSize($file_exist)

[Zibit]

get size of the file in the other dir... this works like an updater.... only it takes all the files what are different between the two folders dir1 and dir2 and copy them to another folder....

@ Capital letters sure...

Understood that but what do you think the content of the variable $file_exist is?

FileClose($search)

$file_exist = FileExists(@ScriptDir & "/dir2/" & $file)

$file_size2 = FileGetSize($file_exist)

FileExists (from the help file)

Return Value

Success: Returns 1.

Failure: Returns 0 if path/file does not exist.

you are getting the file size of a 1 or 0 not the file you are looking for

ou crap.... THX u guys... u guys!

u were right!

correct is this...

$search = FileFindFirstFile(@ScriptDir & "/test/*.*")  
$i = 0
FileDelete("files.tsf")
; Check if the search was successful
_main()
If $search = -1 Then
    MsgBox(0, "Error", "No files/directories matched the search pattern")
    Exit
EndIf
func _main()
while 1
    $file = FileFindNextFile($search) 
    $file_size = FileGetSize(@ScriptDir & "/test/" & $file) 
    $file_size2 = FileGetSize(@ScriptDir & "/patch/" & $file) 
    if $file_size <> $file_size2 then FileWriteLine("files.tsf", $file & @CRLF)
    if $file_size <> $file_size2 then FileCopy(@ScriptDir & "/test/" & $file, @ScriptDir & "/patch/", 1)
    if $file_size = $file_size2 then TrayTip("", "seems ok", 0)
        $i = $i +1
        wend
EndFunc
; Close the search handle
Func _map()

EndFunc
FileClose($search)
