Can Au3recorder able to copy and paste file from one folder to the other. i tried but was unable to work. For example i copy a aa,txt to 123 folder, and paste it. After compile, It's only able to show me i enter in 123 folder, and stop. 

i think it's unable to recognize left mouse click. 

 

Do anyone know it. 'i am new tho this program

Hi, chenchih, welcome to the forum. If you are copying a file from one place to another, you are much better off just using FileCopy. One line of code. Something like this:

 

FileCopy("C:\123\aa.txt", "C:\456\aa.txt")

hi Logan3o13,

ok, thanks. 

What is the purpose of using Au3recorder 

[JLogan3o13]

Au3Recorder is a mechanism for assisting new coders to record and playback steps. It is very much a tool to help you begin your journey with AutoIt, but you will quickly find (as I point out above) there are much better ways of doing things.

I personally suggest people use the recorder as a learning tool on their first couple of scripts, studying the outputted code so you can understand how the script does what it does.
