FileCopy speed

[logmein 3]

Can you answer my stupid question? Does FileCopy function faster than Windows normal copy method? I think it's slower but I don't know is it true?

Do a test and you will know.

$Timer = TimerInit()
filecopy(....) or Shellexecutewait("Copy","Parameters ...")
ConsoleWrite("Time in milliseconds: " & TimerDiff($Timer)  & @CRLF)

But I don't know how to calculate the time of Windows normal copy?

Please re-read my example. Line 1 starts the timer, line 2 starts the AutoIt command OR the windows copy command (by shellexecute). Line 3 stops the timer and writes the result to the console.

So you have to run this example script twice - once with line 2 changed to filecopy and a second time with shellexecute ...

$Timer = TimerInit()
filecopy(....) or Shellexecutewait("Copy","Parameters ...")
ConsoleWrite("Time in milliseconds: " & TimerDiff($Timer)  & @CRLF)
