Simple Robocopy with Progressbar

[Marc]

Hi all,

just a little script I find useful. Always wanted to have an easy way to copy/mirror a complete folder with some kind of progressbar.

Since robocopy is reliable and pre-installed in windows 10, it's the easiest way to achieve a copy of a folder. But there is no gui, the plain dosbox looks ugly... so I came up with this.

It's a simple script, some would call it a stupid wrapper. The only interesting part of it is the ability to display progressbars for copied bytes and copied files.

The script launches robocopy two times: at the first run, robocopy gets called with the /L Parameter, so it just logs what it WOULD do. So the script gathers the number of files and bytes which have to be processed. After that, robocopy gets called to actually do the job and the logfile is read out and compared to the total amount of files/bytes.

Warning: there are two possible modes supported: copy and mirror. For gods and your own sake, if you don't know what "mirror" does, do not use this! Short Explanation: "mirror" will force the destination folder to be an exact copy of the source folder, so if there are files in the destination folder which are not in the source folder, robocopy will kill them without any warning!

have fun,
Marc

Aside from the German ConsoleWrites, very nice

Thank you for sharing! By the way, Marc, if something interrupts the copy half-way (a PC crash or something), will the copy when restarted pickup where it left off, or will it start all over (maybe ignoring files that were completely copied)?

Thanks!

The copy will restart (not resume), but it will only copy changed or non-copied files, skipping already copied, non-changed files.

auf Englistch ... but really the locale can be used to make a translation for any language ... I add the parameter "$s_Lng" - and anyone can make new language for the GUI.

Default German because, of course .. it is. 😁

Nice idea, like it. Makes the script more useable. 😁

[FGAIFEN]

This script is exactly what I needed but I have a question: how to convert bytes to mb ou gb in this script? 

[ioa747]

[FGAIFEN]

I understand when applying to a file but not to a log can you help applying to the script?

[Marc]

Not really sure what you want to achieve.

If you want the copied bytes displayed in MB/GB then take a look ath the lines

GUICtrlSetData($lbl_bytes, $str_done_bytes & " of " & $str_total_bytes & " (" & StringFormat("%.2f", $percent_bytes) & "%)")

you could use the function from guinnes here instead to format the value.

Marc
