FileCopy ...

[legiom455]

I'm in need of either some help with FileCopy or a link to where I can find more info about this:

I've looked in quite a few tutorials, and examples, yet haven't found help about:

1. Need to copy a file, w/ overwrite

FileCopy ("esettings_evzap.xml", "esettings.xml", 1)

2. Need to wait until the files gets copied,.... then check the error code: 1, success, 0 fail

3. If Success, then process more code,... otherwise, .. send error message to the screen.

...

yep, you guessed it, I'm a big noob,...

note: the destination file already exists,...

Any help, links,.. most appreciated.

I even tried to find a udf,... anything I've found, shows progress bars,... using 100 lines of code or more.... which isn't what I need....

thanks again guys!

legiom455,

All you need is in the help file. What have you tried and what has not worked?

legiom455, you've almost written your pseudocode in your own post:

1. Need to copy a file, w/ overwrite

FileCopy ("esettings_evzap.xml", "esettings.xml", 1)

2. .... then check the error code: 1, success, 0 fail

3. If Success, then process more code,... otherwise, .. send error message to the screen.

Why not post the code you have as Klyomas suggests, so we can help you

Well, the below seems to be working,... but now, my question is how do I add error checking?

Thanks again for helping!!.... most appreciated!

Func legionButton()
$done = FileCopy (".Jukeboxeversionsettingsesettings_evzap.xml", ".Jukeboxeversionsettingsesettings.xml", 1)
While  $done = 0
WEnd
$done = FileCopy (".JukeboxevZapsettings_legion.xml", ".JukeboxevZapsettings.xml", 1)
While  $done = 0
WEnd
ShellExecute(".Jukeboxeversion.swf")
WinWaitActive("Adobe Flash Player Security")
Send("{ENTER}")
EndFunc

There are numerous ways to do this, checking the return from FileCopy. Why not something like this:

legionButton()

Func legionButton()

$done = FileCopy("C:esettings_evzap.xml", "C:esettings.xml", 1)
  If $done = "1" Then
   ShellExecute(".Jukeboxeversion.swf")
  Else
   MsgBox(0, "", "File did not copy correctly.")
  EndIf

EndFunc

hmmm,, I have two files I'm copying,...

I thought I had to use ... If @error = 0 or something like this

Seems like I'm using the wrong thing for "file is copied"...
