FILE COPY (all caps cause I'm dumb)

[SBROOKJR]

HI,

I'm new to autoit. I've created two simple scripts to copy documents from a file server and vice versa. I would like to create a error handler to display a message box telling me if the files were successfully copied or if it failed. Any help would be appreciated. thanks.

Check if the condition is true with the copy.

If FileCopy('source', 'destination') Then
    MsgBox(0x40000, '', 'File copied')
Else
    MsgBox(0x40000, '', 'File copy failed')
EndIf

thanks for the quick response. I added the code but I get a file copy failed even though the file

did appear to copy. This is my code:

FILECOPY("C:\MYDOCS\*.*", "C:\test\MyDocs\", 1)

If FileCopy('source', 'destination') Then

MsgBox(0x40000, '', 'File copied')

Else

MsgBox(0x40000, '', 'File copy failed')

EndIf

If FileCopy('source', 'destination') Then
    MsgBox(0x40000, '', 'File copied')
Else
    MsgBox(0x40000, '', 'File copy failed')
EndIf

The reason that it says it failed is because you are trying to copy twice. Loose the first line of your script and it will work.

My bad. Its working now. I really appreciate your help. thanks.

Since you are using a wildcard for the source, then you may want to have a look at using FileFindFirstFile() & FileFindNextFile() for checking each file copied for precise error results.

How would I go about doing that?

Would there be a way to add a status indicator?

search "copy with progress" in scripts and scraps, there are many to choose from

Example

$path = 'C:\MYDOCS' 
$handle_search = FileFindFirstFile($path & '\*.*')
If $handle_search <> -1 Then
    While 1
        $file_found = FileFindNextFile($handle_search)
        If @error Then ExitLoop
        If StringInStr(FileGetAttrib($file_found), 'D') Then
            ContinueLoop
        EndIf
        If Not FileCopy($path & '\' & $file_found, 'C:\test\MyDocs\') Then
            MsgBox(0x40000, '', 'File copy error with ' & $path & '\' & $file_found)
        EndIf
    WEnd
    FileClose($handle_search)
Else
    MsgBox(0x40000, '', 'Failed to open search handle')
EndIf
