johann Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 (edited) Here is my task: I have to copy a file into a folder. Sounds easy, but the folder is located in the useraccount folder. My problem is now that I could use @username to copy the file into the currently logged in user folder, but I need to copy it into all user folders of users that were logged in on the machine. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Regards Jo Edited December 21, 2011 by johann Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johann Posted December 21, 2011 Author Share Posted December 21, 2011 Thx for the hint, but I didn't find something fitting my description as I checked the macros in the helpfile. Could you tell me what exactly you mean? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrewManNH Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 Which folder are you trying to copy it into? If it's a common folder such as the Start Menu or Desktop folder, you might be able to copy it once to the All Users folder, that way everyone will have access to it. If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise. Also, if it doesn't work on XP I can't help with that because I don't have access to XP, and I'm not going to.Give a programmer the correct code and he can do his work for a day.

johann Posted December 21, 2011 Author Share Posted December 21, 2011 It is a dll I have to copy to the users Lotus Notes data folder. Which is created on first start of notes in the Users profile. So copying it to All Users folder wouldn't solve my problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrewManNH Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 Here's how I did it in a script I made a while ago. expandcollapse popup#Include <File.au3> #include <Array.au3> Global $aUserList[10], $UserList[10] If @OSVersion == "WIN_7" Or @OSVersion == "WIN_VISTA" Or @OSVersion = "WIN_2008" Then $NewOS = True ElseIf @OSVersion == "WIN_XP" Then $NewOS = False Else MsgBox(48, "Error", "Wrong OS version") Exit EndIf Global $X = 0 If Not $NewOS Then $UserList = _FileListToArray("C:Documents and Settings", "*.*", 2) For $I = 1 To $UserList[0] Select Case $UserList[$I] = "All Users" Case $UserList[$I] = "Default User" Case $UserList[$I] = "NetworkService" Case $UserList[$I] = "LocalService" Case $UserList[$I] = "Administrator" Case Else $aUserList[$X] = $UserList[$I] $X += 1 If $X >= UBound($aUserList) Then ReDim $aUserList[UBound($aUserList) + 10] EndIf EndSelect Next Else $UserList = _FileListToArray("C:Users", "*.*", 2) For $I = 1 To $UserList[0] Select Case $UserList[$I] = "All Users" Case $UserList[$I] = "Default" Case $UserList[$I] = "Default User" Case $UserList[$I] = "Public" Case Else $aUserList[$X] = $UserList[$I] $X += 1 If $X >= UBound($aUserList) Then ReDim $aUserList[UBound($aUserList) + 10] EndIf EndSelect Next EndIf ReDim $aUserList[$X] _ArrayDisplay($aUserList) This will work on Windows XP, Vista, 7 and Server 2008 but can be modified for other versions fairly easily. It doesn't include the standard default profile paths in the array, such as All Users, Administrator, DefaultUser, etc. If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise.

Moderators JLogan3o13 Posted December 21, 2011 Moderators Share Posted December 21, 2011 Hi, johann. Rather than trying to hit the folder of everyone who has logged into the machine, have you thought of just writing your script to copy the file name, using the @username variable as you mention, and then putting the script into the startup menu? Then it will be done for each user automatically when they login. This way, not only would you resolve the issue for any current local user, but would take care of any new profiles created in the future. "Profanity is the last vestige of the feeble mind.

kylomas Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 (edited) johann, IF you cannot use JLogan3o13's suggestion, here is some code that will show all folders below C:USERS. This will only show the next level, but can be changed easily enough to recurse all levels. #include<array.au3> local $folder_list = r_search('c:users') _arraydisplay($folder_list) Func r_search ($s_dir) local $folders[1] local $files = FileFindFirstFile($s_dir & "*.*") If @error Then msgbox(0,'Filefindfirst Error',@error) While 1 $next = FileFindNextFile($files) If @error Then return($folders) If @extended then $folders[ubound($folders)-1] = $s_dir & '' & $next redim $folders[ubound($folders) + 1] EndIf WEnd FileClose($files) EndFunc Good Luck, kylomas Edited December 21, 2011 by kylomas Forum Rules        Procedure for posting code "I like pigs. Dogs look up to us. Cats look down on us. Pigs treat us as equals." - Sir Winston Churchill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kylomas Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 johan, This code changed slightly to include folder recursion. See commented line. #include<array.au3> local $st = timerinit() local $folders[1] local $folder_list = r_search('c:users') consolewrite('Time to list folders = ' & round(timerdiff($st)/1000,4) & @lf) _arraydisplay($folder_list) Func r_search ($s_dir) local $files = FileFindFirstFile($s_dir & "*.*") If @error = -1 Then msgbox(0,'Error','') While 1 $next = FileFindNextFile($files) If @error Then return($folders) If @extended then $folders[ubound($folders)-1] = $s_dir & '' & $next redim $folders[ubound($folders) + 1] consolewrite($s_dir & '' & $next & @lf) ;r_search($s_dir & '' & $next) ; uncomment this line to recurse folders EndIf WEnd FileClose($files) EndFunc kylomas Forum Rules        Procedure for posting code "I like pigs. Dogs look up to us. Cats look down on us. Pigs treat us as equals." - Sir Winston Churchill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johann Posted December 22, 2011 Author Share Posted December 22, 2011 Hi guys, thanks for the replies. I really appreciate your help. Yesterday I started working with BrewMan's suggestion and added a few lines of code (just to use the array in the way I needed). What can I say, it works very well. @JLogan3o13: Thats what I thought about in the first place, but I am not very into startscripts and try to avoid using them as much as I can. We have not that much changing user logins on our clients so this is not that much of concerning. Thanks again for your help Johann Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
