how to copy a director

[sbrady]

I am leaving work for the weekend but thought I would post this. I cannot get a directory to FULLY copy all contents across a network. I can make a folder and name it (not the AutoIT way I know). When this script runs, it gets the files from the "BUMPER" folder just fine, but every folder after that does NOT copy the contents. Any ideas from a kind soul would be appreciated.

Local $FileList = _FileListToArray("\\10.10.10.10\Incoming Projects DAW1\Promos\Open PM")

For $i = 1 To $FileList[0] ; As explained the [0] element holds the count
If StringInStr($FileList[$i], "Bumpers EXPORTS") Then ; Does the name hold the string "Promo"?
$export_folder1 = $FileList[$i]
$dest = "C:\Documents and Settings\sebrad\Desktop\Open PM3\"
DirCreate ( $dest & $export_folder1 )
EndIf


If StringInStr($FileList[$i], "NDP EXPORTS") Then ; Does the name hold the string "Promo"?
$export_folder2 = $FileList[$i]
$dest = "C:\Documents and Settings\sebrad\Desktop\Open PM3\"
DirCreate ( $dest & $export_folder2 )
EndIf


If StringInStr($FileList[$i], "OPEN EXPORTS") Then ; Does the name hold the string "Promo"?
$export_folder3 = $FileList[$i]
$dest = "C:\Documents and Settings\sebrad\Desktop\Open PM3\"
DirCreate ( $dest & $export_folder3 )

sbrady,

Is $dest supposed to point at the same resource?

edit : you might also want to look at dircopy and you should check return codes from your function calls

edit2 : Disregard...just put my glasses back on, duh!!

Dont know if this is the cause, but the Dircopy commands in the other two have an extra set of parentheses...

[kylomas]

@boththose,

The parens are balanced but the syntax seems odd...not sure why he has the inner parens

[kylomas]

Odd as it looks, when I run this

dircopy ( (@desktopdir & 'ai temp'), (@DesktopDir & 'ai temp2'),1)

it runs successfully. The problem lies elsewhere.

@sbrady - have you verified that $filelist contains what you expect?

kylomas, yes, I did put in a MSG line of code and it gave me the name of the source folder for each variable. what I wrote does copy the contents of the BUMPER folder, the NPR folder an OPEN folder DO NOT get copied. I dont see a progress bar when something is getting copied, is there a way I can show a progress bar so I can see what is getting copied. If I bypass the BUMPER copy, then BOTH NPR and OPEN folders get copied.

I am asking this script to do too much at once. Whats getting copied is an HD video file and some audio files. Maybe I need to slow things down. How can I verify a copy command was completed and if not, then tell it to do it again.

thanks for your kind replies.
