File Copy and Progress Bar

kman · June 5, 2007

I have been looking through the forums for a way to copy all the contents of a folder on a server to replace existing files on the local computer with a progress bar. JdeB's looks to be a nice and simple way to go that I have found, but I run into a problem with it wanting to confirm the File Replace. It is not selecting "yes to all". Can anyone see what I am doing wrong. I thought the "Local $FOF_RESPOND_YES = 16" would handle this. Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Sorry for my newbness!!

_FileCopy("\\folder\folder\folder\*.*","C:\folder")

Func _FileCopy($fromFile,$tofile)

Local $FOF_RESPOND_YES = 16

Local $FOF_SIMPLEPROGRESS = 256

$winShell = ObjCreate("shell.application")

$winShell.namespace($tofile).CopyHere($fromFile,$FOF_RESPOND_YES)

EndFunc

Here is the code Im taking from:

CODE: AutoIt

;~ 4 Do not display a progress dialog box.

;~ 8 Give the file being operated on a new name in a move, copy, or rename operation if a file with the target name already exists.

;~ 16 Respond with "Yes to All" for any dialog box that is displayed.

;~ 64 Preserve undo information, if possible.

;~ 128 Perform the operation on files only if a wildcard file name (*.*) is specified.

;~ 256 Display a progress dialog box but do not show the file names.

;~ 512 Do not confirm the creation of a new directory if the operation requires one to be created.

;~ 1024 Do not display a user interface if an error occurs.

;~ 2048 Version 4.71. Do not copy the security attributes of the file.

;~ 4096 Only operate in the local directory. Don't operate recursively into subdirectories.

;~ 9182 Version 5.0. Do not copy connected files as a group. Only copy the specified files.

_FileCopy("C:\Installed Apps\Patches\WindowsXP-KB835935-SP2-ENU.exe","C:\temp")

Func _FileCopy($fromFile,$tofile)

Local $FOF_RESPOND_YES = 16

Local $FOF_SIMPLEPROGRESS = 256

$winShell = ObjCreate("shell.application")

$winShell.namespace($tofile).CopyHere($fromFile,$FOF_RESPOND_YES)

EndFunc

Programs or scripts that use the CopyHere method might not copy items that are specified by using a wildcard character

http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=835926

Either apply the required hotfix or latest service pack. OR, copy the files one by one (can't use *.* with FOF_RESPOND_YES)

Thanks for the reply! Nice catch on the Microsoft issue too!

All servers and PC's are up to date, and I am using *.* with FileCopy earlier in the script but only for a few small files so I dont need a progress bar with that, but with this having more files thats why the need for a progress bar. The issue then is with the Wildcard and FOF_RESOPOND_YES. Any other ideas to modify or another way to go?

Thanks

I'd make an array of all files to copy ($aSrc), and all destinations ($aDest), and copy them one by one.

for $i = 0 to Ubound($aSrc)
$winShell.namespace($aDest[$i]).CopyHere($aSrc[$i],$FOF_RESPOND_YES)
next

Using CopyHere, I don't see what other choices you have, considering the bug.

lod3n · June 5, 2007

I just did some testing, and it looks like if you drop the *.*, it works just fine! So if you want top copy

\\server\share\FolderName

to

C:\FolderName

use

_FileCopy("\\server\share\FolderName\","C:\")

The only downside is if you don't want your destination folder name to match the source folder name. Perhaps this could be solved by renaming after the fact.

I was able to get that with copying folder to folder but I have about 400 files on a server that need to overwrite files in a folder on the local PC and without a wildcard option thats messin with me.

It looks like, in this thread http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index.ph...wild*&st=15

that by using the filefindfilefirst and filefindnextfile might work, just havent figured out how to incorporate it into this script.

Okay, it looks like CopyHere is an abstraction of a Windows API call called SHFileOperation.

SumTingWong posted an implementation of SHFileOperation back in 2005, but there were some problems. For one, he wasn't handling errors properly, and he was using the old method of removing structs. I've updated it for 2007, so here you go:

$result = _CopyWithProgress("\\folder\folder\folder\*.*","C:\folder")

Worked like a dream!! Copied over all the files and even the folders I needed!! Thanks so much for your time and effort!!

lod3n · June 6, 2007

You're welcome.

I've actually been looking for something like this too, so I also had a personal motivation for sorting it out.
