Folder lock after script run

[SSJoco]

Hi!

I have a little Autoit script (1200 lines). This script scan files and folders, then copy some files or start WinRAR. That's all!

However after the scan and copy, all the source folders is locked. I have to close the script then delete the folder. It means the script still user this folders. I search every possible command which is use direcory, but nothing. I use FileFindFirstFile command which request Fileclose operation and I have every close commands.

Any idea how can I find whick command lock the dir?

post your script so we can see what is happening

It locks the folder both au3 and exe as well.

I attached the whole script.

winrar4ever() function do the main job. Lock every folder which contains *.rar file until I do not close the program. I do the same thinh with *.avi, *.nfo files, only I copy them, but it do not lock the folders.

I use _Filelisttoarray only in the rar search, because I have found this command recently.

Had a quick glance at your code and saw at least one instance where you do not properly close a filehandle:

$searchsample = FileFindFirstFile("*sample*.*")
            If $searchsample = -1 And FileExists($source & "\" & $rar[$b] & "\Sample") Then
                FileChangeDir($source & "\" & $rar[$b] & "\Sample")
                $searchsample = FileFindFirstFile("*.*")
            EndIf

You want to FileClose($searchsample ) before doing another FileFindFirst().

I think I've got it!

I do FileFindFirstFile inside the loop, but I closed the handler after the loop. If I close the search handler at the end of the loop then it won't lock the folders.

Uh, I haven't edited this program for a while.
