emmanuel Posted April 16, 2004 Share Posted April 16, 2004 (edited) DirCopy will return an error every time if I give it the source and dest with variables, if I give it the same locations as simple strings, it works... but if I wanted it hard coded, I'd just make a looping bat file... (heh, like I can tell my users to do anything at a command line...) Do $source = FileSelectFolder("Select the drive to copy files from." & @CR & "This should be your removable media such as a floppy or CD drive", "", 0) if @error = 1 then exit $dest = FileSelectFolder("Select the destination for the files" & @CR & "This should be your network location like a folder on the I drive", "", 1) if @error = 1 then exit $confirm = MsgBox(3, "Confirm Copy", "This will copy all files from " & $source & " to " & $dest & @CR & "Are you sure?") If $confirm = 2 then exit Until $confirm = 6 Do MsgBox(0, "Insert Disk", "Insert disk to copy." & @CR & "This will copy all files from " & $source & " to " & $dest,"") DirCopy($source,$dest,0) if @error = 0 then MsgBox(0, "error","there was a problem. check it out","") $another = MsgBox(4, "Copy another?", "Would you like to copy another disk to the same location?","") Until $another = 7 Edited April 16, 2004 by emmanuel "I'm not even supposed to be here today!" -Dante (Hicks) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Developers Jos Posted April 16, 2004 Developers Share Posted April 16, 2004 don't think you are testing correctly.... you test @error but the helpfile says return value... Shouldn't it be this way?? $rc = DirCopy($SOURCE,$DEST,0) If $rc = 0 Then MsgBox(0, "error","there was a problem. check it out","") SciTE4AutoIt3 Full installer Download page - Beta files Read before posting How to post scriptsource Forum etiquette Forum Rules Live for the present, Dream of the future, Learn from the past.

emmanuel Posted April 16, 2004 Author Share Posted April 16, 2004 thanks, didn't realize the difference. it's still not copying files. I tried it without the FileSelectFolder and all that other jazz, like this: $source = "A:\" $dest = "C:\TEMP\" DirCopy( "A:\" , "C:\TEMP\" , 0 ) just figured it out... having the overwrite set to 0 meant that it wouldn't even copy the files into the folder as long as the folder existed...
