Need help with For $var to $var

[dirty]

Hey guys ! if anyone has time to help me with:

If $OS = "WIN_7" Then
    $UT3search1 = FileFindFirstFile ($UT3CompressedFilesVista & "\*.uz3")
    $UT3search2 = FileFindFirstFile ($UT3CompressedFilesVista & "\Characters\*.uz3")
    $UT3search3 = FileFindFirstFile ($UT3CompressedFilesVista & "\CustomChars\*.uz3")
    $UT3search4 = FileFindFirstFile ($UT3CompressedFilesVista & "\CustomMaps\*.uz3")
    $UT3search5 = FileFindFirstFile ($UT3CompressedFilesVista & "\Packages\*.uz3")
Endif
While 1
        $UT3searchreturn1 = FileFindNextFile ($UT3search1)

    $UT3searchreturn2 = FileFindNextFile ($UT3search2)

    $UT3searchreturn3 = FileFindNextFile ($UT3search3)

    $UT3searchreturn3 = FileFindNextFile ($UT3search4)

    $UT3searchreturn5 = FileFindNextFile ($UT3search5)
WEnd

    DirCreate ($UT3ResultPath)
    $UT3Moving = FileMove ($UT3CompressedFilesVista & $UT3searchreturn, $UT3ResultPath, 1)
    If $UT3Moving = 0 Then
        MsgBox (64,$MsgTitle, "Error moving file to output directory. " & $MSGERROR,"",$MainGUI)
        EndIf

Instead i need something to search only 1 destination but look into all its subdirectories, then move all .uz3 fiels found in all sunbirectories into $UT3ResultPath

I was thinking about having something to do with

For $i = "something" to $var = "something else"
Blah blah
Next

But i have no clue how does For work and how i can use it in my situation.

Can you guys help ?

Again the answer is right in the help file. For..In.. should be fine in your case.

$files = _FileListToArray(...)
if @error ...
For $file In $Files
 ;process it
Next

Am sorry i dont understand the use of your example.

I tried to add it to my script but nothing.

Cant get it to search for files by extension .uz3

I tried

$UT3CompressedFilesVista = (@UserProfileDir & "\Documents\My Games\Unreal Tournament 3\UTGame\Unpublished\CookedPC\")
$files = _FileListToArray ($UT3CompressedFilesVista)
$string = _ArrayDisplay ($files,"title")

It returns 1rst line 4 and 4 folder names below

I dont understand how can i use this to have my files moved.

This is the loop which finds .uz3 files and moves them, but it only searching in one specified folder.

Is it possible for it to search in i specified folder and all its subfolders and ten move all found files to

$UT3CompressedFilesVista = (@UserProfileDir & "\Documents\My Games\Unreal Tournament 3\UTGame\Unpublished\CookedPC\")
$UT3search = FileFindFirstFile ($UT3CompressedFilesVista  & "*.uz3")

While 1
    $UT3searchreturn = FileFindNextFile ($UT3search)
If @error Then
    MsgBox(0,'','nothing found')
ExitLoop
    MsgBox (0,'',"$UT3search=" & $UT3search & @CRLF & " $UT3searchreturn=" & $UT3searchreturn)
Else
EndIf

    DirCreate (@DesktopDir & "\Result")
    $UT3Moving = FileMove ($UT3CompressedFilesVista & $UT3searchreturn, @DesktopDir & "\Result" , 1)
If $UT3Moving = 0 Then
    MsgBox (64,"", "Error moving file to output directory. ")
Else
    MsgBox(0,'','File moved')
EndIf
WEnd

Yes it is. I simplified the code so who ever want to test it would be able to run it with minimal changes to make

$UT3CompressedFilesVista = (@UserProfileDir & "\Documents\My Games\Unreal Tournament 3\UTGame\Unpublished\CookedPC\")
$UT3search = FileFindFirstFile ($UT3CompressedFilesVista  & "*.uz3")

While 1
    $UT3searchreturn = FileFindNextFile ($UT3search)
If @error Then
    MsgBox(0,'','nothing found')
ExitLoop
    MsgBox (0,'',"$UT3search=" & $UT3search & @CRLF & " $UT3searchreturn=" & $UT3searchreturn)
Else
EndIf

    DirCreate (@DesktopDir & "\Result")
    $UT3Moving = FileMove ($UT3CompressedFilesVista & $UT3searchreturn, @DesktopDir & "\Result" , 1)
If $UT3Moving = 0 Then
    MsgBox (64,"", "Error moving file to output directory. ")
Else
    MsgBox(0,'','File moved')
EndIf
WEnd

It works find but its not searching sub directories and because it doesnt its not moving any files that are located in those sub directories.

Use _ArrayDelete($Files, 0) to remove the first entry (number of entries).

You forgot to add "*" at the end of your file pattern. Yours returns only directories. You need both.

Anyway, you need a _recursive_ directory traversal. Search the forum for that, there are many ready to use, some of them recently posted.

add "*" where ?

$UT3CompressedFilesVista = (@UserProfileDir & "\Documents\My Games\Unreal Tournament 3\UTGame\Unpublished\CookedPC\*")

here

$UT3searchreturn = FileFindNextFile ($UT3search& "*")

or here ?

$UT3Moving = FileMove ($UT3CompressedFilesVista & $UT3searchreturn & "*", @DesktopDir & "\Result" , 1)
