Need help with a probably very simple copy thing.

[WalterR]

Hello

Super friendly GPinzone have helped me with a script to use his >Primera Libraries  for a CD batch ingest thing I have to do. What I in the end need to do is;

Load CD into reader

mkdir on filesystem named as CD

cp everything on CD to created dir

Unload cd

Load next cd

 

GPinzone have helped me with the load and unload of CD*s but now I would need some help with the creation of directories and copying of files. I hadn't heard about Autoit until this morning so I'm very new to this and don't really know where to start. i just know I have 200 CD*s that needs to be ingested. =)

Thanks in advance! =)

Cheers

Look at DirCreate and FileCopy in the help file. Both have wonderful examples to help you get started.

[MikahS]

First off, welcome to the AutoIt forums! These should help you in the right direction

FileCopy("source", "dest" [, flag = 0])

DirCreate("path")

 

You can click the names of the functions and they will take you to the helpfile

Thanks guys! Looks like I just need to find me the solution of getting the name of the CD. =)

[WalterR]

...like DriveGetLabel ( "path" ) 

=)))

[MikahS]

DriveGetDrive("CDROM") ; will get the drive letter

DriveGetLabel("path") ; will get label of the drive from the path specified

Welcome aboard,

I hope that you have a CD jukebox   

Cheers

[WalterR]

Hehe. Yes i have a jukebox and finally got it working with GPinzone outstanding help. =) I wont ever be able to repay him for his help here, just extraordinary and outstanding. 

I will do this in batch of 50 discs since the mag's only take 50. I change the code for each batch and manually increase a number in the created folders name, this to protect against identically named disks. This could probably be slicker but it works and that's what counts now. =) If any one ever stumbles over this I used this code in combo with what's at the link at the top of this post. Many many many thanks for all your help with this. =)
