sbrady Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 This does not work: DirCopy("\\10.10.44.37\Incoming Projects DAW1\Promos\Open PM\SBTEST","D:\Promos",1) I get what is INSIDE the folder, not the folder itself. What do I have to do to make the SBTEST folder copy over to the D:\Promos folder. is it because it is coming from a server???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sbrady Posted October 15, 2012 Author Share Posted October 15, 2012 I found out it works copying FROM local HD to a mounted server, but copying FROM a SERVER to my local HD only copies the contents NOT the folder itself. You have to have a folder with the same name at the destination, then it will copy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrewManNH Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 No you don't, if you do it like JohnOne said, and include the name of the folder you're copying from in the destination path i.e. "D:PromosSBTest" instead of just "D:Promos" it will create the SBTest folder and then copy the contents of the folder into that folder. If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise.

sbrady Posted October 15, 2012 Author Share Posted October 15, 2012 coming from Applescript..........you select item 1 inside a folder, you just copy item 1.........so simple. what I will have to do on PC is get the name of the folder and add that to the desination path. Its one extra step, but other than that it will work. I desperately need some one to help me cycle through a folder, if the folder has todays date in the folder name (ie 10-15-12), then get the full name of that folder and create a folder in the destination location with the same name, then copy the source directory. I need code because just reading the help file does not help me figure out the coding syntax. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Melba23 Posted October 15, 2012 Moderators Share Posted October 15, 2012 sbrady,If I hear "Applescript is so simple" coming from you just once more I will begin to get annoyed. Every thread you start tells us how wonderful that app is - just get over the fact that Windows/AutoIt is different and start to learn how to use AutoIt properly instead of trying to do the things the same way as you used to. And as BrewManNH and JohnOne have told you, there is no need to cycle through a folder - using the folder name in the destination path will copy the whole folder. Now 3 people have told you - have you actually tried it?

caleb41610 Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 generally, opening scite and writing some test code will do it! :-) Multi-Connection TCP Server Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Melba23 Posted October 16, 2012 Moderators Share Posted October 16, 2012 sbrady,This is how I would do it:- Use _FileListToArray (yes, it can list folders too) to get an array of the folders in that main folder.- Loop through the array using a For...Next loop and use StringInStr to see if the foldername includes the required string.- Use DirCopy to copy the folder if the string is foundNo doubt AppleScript could do this just by reading your mind, but AutoIt requires you to write some code and execute it. So look up those functions in the Help file and try to write something yourself. If you run into problems, we will be more than happy to help you debug/amend it to get it to work properly - but you need to do some work first. Good luck!
