Copy files to removable disk


Recommended Posts

Hi all,

I'm pretty new at this...

I wanna copy 2 main files...My Documents and desktop into a removable disk.

  • Copy Desktop
  • Copy My Document
  • Save as a main folder title as date of the day
  • in the main folder titled date of the dat contains 2 folders; desktop and My document

How do i write this?

DirCopy(@MyDocumentsDir, "S:\")

DirCopy(@DesktopDir, "S:\")

Not like this rite? Coz this will create 2 folders instead of a main folder. How do i do a variable?

And how can i get a progress bar for each transfer?

_FileCopy("C:\Users\user\Documents\*.*","S:\Backups\MyDocs")

Func _FileCopy($fromFile,$todirectory)
Local $FOF_RESPOND_YES = 8
Local $FOF_SIMPLEPROGRESS = 256
$winShell = ObjCreate("shell.application")
$winShell.namespace($todirectory).CopyHere($fromFile)
EndFunc

You mean folders right? Also, will the removable drive ever change its drive letter? Will you want to limit the number of time stamped folders autoit creates?

The date format will look like: 20110111005631 as in 2011, 1, 11, 00:56:31

While 1
    DirCreate("S:\Test1") ;Creates a dummy temp file for the purpose of getting the time of creation
    $timeStamp = FileGetTime("S:\Test1",1,1) ; Sets $timestamp to the time of folder creation above
    DirRemove("S:\Test1") ;deletes the temp folder
        DirCreate("S:\"&$timeStamp) ;Creates the folder in the time/date format mentioned above
    $DestinationPath = ("S:\"&$timeStamp) ;names $Destination Path for use in next function
    DirCreate($DestinationPath&"\My Documents") ;Creates the my documents directory in the time stamp folder
        DirCopy(@MyDocumentsDir, $DestinationPath&"\My Documents", 1 ;Copies the data to timestamp\my documents
    DirCreate(($DestinationPath&"\Desktop");creates the Desktop directory in the time stamp folder
        DirCopy(@DesktopDir, $DestinationPath&"\Desktop", 1) ;Copies the data to timestamp\desktop
Exit
Wend

Ill keep on working on this but I thought you might want to see my progress.

OMG!!!So i just copy and paste this and change the directory to be copied? Or just leave it!?

computergroove,

very nice, or you can,

1 - enumerate the drives colleciton (drivegetdrive)

2 - check for your "labeled" removeable drive (drivegetlabel)

3 - generate a timestamped directory

4 - use dircopy to copy files

I do this with ALL of my source.

just my 1.5 cents

Kylomas and computergroove,

its a good idea where all removable drive can be detected and the script doesnt have to be customise to different users.

How do i do that?

yukinaga,

My origional thought was to label some removable media (disc or flash) and check for a "ready" removeable drive with this media, however, I think saywell's solution is better and adds the flexibility to detect wrong media mounted and prompt the user to mount the required media.

The following are all doc'ed in the help file:

drivegetdrive

drivegetlabel

ini doc

** note **

There is a caution that all drive "types" are not enumerated. I have been using this technique as a kind of source control/backup for about 1 year with NO problems.

        Local $sText = "Select Drive letter of the required removable drive." & @CRLF & @CRLF
        For $i = 1 To $var[0]

Which part of the script should be inputed? or deleted.

I'm lost.

Is it the first part? The While 1...but thats the copy instructions...

While 1
    DirCreate("S:\Test1")
    $timeStamp = FileGetTime("S:\Test1",1,1)
    DirRemove("S:\Test1")
    DirCreate("S:\"&$timeStamp)
    $DestinationPath = ("S:\"&$timeStamp)
    DirCreate($DestinationPath&"\My Documents")
    DirCreate($DestinationPath&"\Desktop")
    $DPMyDocs = ($DestinationPath&"\My Documents")
    $DPDesktop = ($DestinationPath&"\Desktop")
    _CopyDirWithProgress(@DesktopDir, $DPDesktop)
    _CopyDirWithProgress(@MyDocumentsDir, $DPMyDocs)
Exit
wend

While 1 isn't for copying. It means that While True or in other words run this program until the program ends. I tried this and it was doing something however I dont have a removable drive and that was the only choice I was given by the new code. Try this exactly and when you get a popup box, select the correct removable drive letter.

;Copies the Desktop and My Documents Folders to a timestamped folder on the E drive and gives a progress bar of the files copying

Local $RHD = _SelectRemovableDrive()
If @error = 0 Then MsgBox(4096, "Drive Selected:", "Selected removable drive is " & $RHD)

While 1
    DirCreate($RHD&"Test1") ;Creates a dummy temp file for the purpose of getting the time of creation
    $timeStamp = FileGetTime($RHD&"Test1",1,1) ; Sets $timestamp to the time of folder creation above
    DirRemove($RHD&"Test1") ;deletes the temp folder
    DirCreate($RHD&$timeStamp) ;Creates the folder in the time/date format mentioned above
    $DestinationPath = ($RHD&$timeStamp) ;names $Destination Path for use in next function
    DirCreate($DestinationPath&"\My Documents") ;Creates the my documents directory in the time stamp folder
    DirCreate($DestinationPath&"\Desktop") ;Creates the Desktop directory in the time stamp folder
    $DPMyDocs = ($DestinationPath&"\My Documents") ;Creates a clean directory path for the CopyDirWithProgress Function below
    $DPDesktop = ($DestinationPath&"\Desktop") ;Creates a clean directory path for the CopyDirWithProgress Function below
    _CopyDirWithProgress(@DesktopDir, $DPDesktop) ;Copies the data to timestamp\Desktop
    _CopyDirWithProgress(@MyDocumentsDir, $DPMyDocs) ;Copies the data to timestamp\my documents

You want to add a MsgBox that says copy complete after the file copying is done?

While 1
    DirCreate($RHD&"Test1") ;Creates a dummy temp file for the purpose of getting the time of creation
    $timeStamp = FileGetTime($RHD&"Test1",1,1) ; Sets $timestamp to the time of folder creation above
    DirRemove($RHD&"Test1") ;deletes the temp folder
    DirCreate($RHD&$timeStamp) ;Creates the folder in the time/date format mentioned above
    $DestinationPath = ($RHD&$timeStamp) ;names $Destination Path for use in next function
    DirCreate($DestinationPath&"\My Documents") ;Creates the my documents directory in the time stamp folder
    DirCreate($DestinationPath&"\Desktop") ;Creates the Desktop directory in the time stamp folder
    $DPMyDocs = ($DestinationPath&"\My Documents") ;Creates a clean directory path for the CopyDirWithProgress Function below
    $DPDesktop = ($DestinationPath&"\Desktop") ;Creates a clean directory path for the CopyDirWithProgress Function below
    _CopyDirWithProgress(@DesktopDir, $DPDesktop) ;Copies the data to timestamp\Desktop
    _CopyDirWithProgress(@MyDocumentsDir, $DPMyDocs) ;Copies the data to timestamp\my documents
Exit
wend

The above is the whole program really. The other is from 1 other user that developed the copy progress function (mad props to this guy/girl). What you would need to do is add a line before Exit to the above code:

MsgBox(0,"File Copy Progress", "The files completed copying to"&$DestinationPath)

The above should work. Please try it. Also Note that this line wont do any kind of confirmation check. It will only leave a message box on the screen until you hit ok.

Yup, tried that and saw it before you replied. So the top is like the summary of the whole thing. And to add anything it must come before the EXIT.

Basically yes. You can add code to the bottom or middle or where ever you want. The important thing is to understand what all of it does. Was the message box what you were hoping for? Are you happy with the end result?
