Move all files/folders/subfolders with progress bar


Recommended Posts

Hi guys :-)

I have been using this script to move ALL content from A to B, and was wondering if anyone had an idea for how I could implement a progress bar?

$source = 'C:\temp\folderA'
$dest = 'C:\temp\folderB'


FileMove($source & "\*.*", $dest, 1) ;Move all source files first
$hSearch = FileFindFirstFile($Source & "\*.*") ;Now find any remaining (in this case: folders)
if $hSearch = -1 then exit ;No folders
While 1
    $hFilename = FileFindNextFile($hSearch)
    if @ERROR then exitloop ;No more files
    DirMove($source & "\" & $hFilename, $Dest,1);move subdir and all contents to new location
WEnd

There are several solutions, e.g.  :

A simple example, alternatively search Google with the term "AutoIt Copy with Progress bar".

#include <File.au3>

Global $g_sSource = "C:\temp\folderA"
Global $g_sTarget = "C:\temp\folderB"

_Example1()

Func _Example1()
    Local $aSource = _FileListToArrayRec($g_sSource, "*", 1, 1, 0, 1)
        If @error Then Exit MsgBox(4096, "Error", "No Folders/Files found.")

    Local $iIndex = 100/$aSource[0], $iProgress = $iIndex
    ProgressOn("Moving", $g_sSource)
    For $i = 1 To $aSource[0]
        ProgressSet($iProgress, "..\" & $aSource[$i], "Moving : " & $g_sSource)
        FileMove($g_sSource & "\" & $aSource[$i], $g_sTarget & "\" & $aSource[$i], 9)
        $iProgress += $iIndex
    Next
    ProgressSet(100, "Done", "Complete")
    Sleep(5000)
EndFunc

Sky05,

Even as the author of _FileListToArrayRec, I must admit it can be a bit slow at times as it has a lot of internal code to check for specific names, extensions, type, etc. As all you are looking for is a count of ALL the content, you might find DirGetSize is a faster solution.

First Great script!!!!

can this be adapted easily for file deletion?

 

I would also guess if I want this function to COPY instead of move I would simply change

 FileMove($g_sSource & "\" & $aSource[$i], $g_sTarget & "\" & $aSource[$i], 9)

to 

 

 FileCopy($g_sSource & "\" & $aSource[$i], $g_sTarget & "\" & $aSource[$i], 9)

 

could you use DirCopy as well?
