moving contents of folder

[smstroble]

Ok i must be missing something here. im trying to move the contents of a folder but not the folder its self. Filemove("sourcefoler\*", "destnationfolder", 1) works greak for the files but i cant figure a way to move the folders in the folder, using DirMove which moved the source folder which i dont want to do. is there anyway to search for the subdirectorys within a directory?

thanks for your help

#include <file.au3>
Func _MoveFilesAndDirectories($srcFolder, $srcDest)
    Local $avFilesArray = _FileListToArray($srcFolder)
    For $i = 1 to $avFilesArray[0]
        if (FileGetSize($avFilesArray[$i]) <= 0) Then ;Checks if its a folder or a file.
            DirCopy($srcFolder & "\" & $avFilesArray[$i], $srcDest & "\" & $avFilesArray[$i] & "\")
        Else
            FileCopy($srcFolder & "\" & $avFilesArray[$i], $srcDest & "\" & $avFilesArray[$i])
        EndIf
    Next
EndFunc
    
_MoveFilesAndDirectories("Glib", "test")

hmm, this seems to work for me

Thats what you're looking for right?

so i fixed it!

Func _MoveFilesAndDirectories($srcFolder, $srcDest)
    Local $avFilesArray = _FileListToArray($srcFolder)
    For $i = 1 To $avFilesArray[0]
        if (FileGetSize($srcFolder & "\" & $avFilesArray[$i]) <= 0) Then ;Checks if its a folder or a file.
            DirMove($srcFolder & "\" & $avFilesArray[$i], $srcDest & "\" & $avFilesArray[$i])
        Else
            FileMove($srcFolder & "\" & $avFilesArray[$i], $srcDest & "\", 8)
        EndIf
    Next
EndFunc
