Directory Copier... thing

[taker4mdb 0]

Just something I was playing around with... it copies whole directories only (including all subfolders and files).

The idea is that if an error is encountered when copying a large number of files, it won't stop copying (like Windows).

It has two options - overwrite files and batch mode (batch mode was my first attempt at this, it uses a hidden batch file to copy the files, monitoring the batches output to count the number of files processed. It's not neat or pretty, but it seems to go a little faster, so I crammed it in there!)

To use the batch mode, you need a batch file in the same directory as the script file (this gets deleted after it's used - made to be compiled with the .exe, extracted, executed, and deleted)

Contents of batch file (named MBCOPYFILES.bat):

@echo off

xcopy %1 %2 /e /c /h /r /y

And the script file:

#include <Array.au3>

GUICtrlCreateLabel("Copy files from directory:", 10, 10, 280, 13)

GUICtrlCreateLabel("To directory:", 10, 53, 280, 13)

looks great. I actually need to look through that. I have been trying to figure out how to do some of that for a little while, depending on how you did it. If you could give me a brief explanation on how you got it to copy over directories within directories without using DirCopy(), thatd be great, if not, I will look harder.

EDIT: figured it out. You just added a new directory to the array (queue) and deleted the first in line (already used), continually searching the first for new files. A little wordy, and poor variable names..., but otherwise very nicely done.

Hi there,

It's pretty cool code and so nice of you to share your codes. I wanna check with you if there anyway to get the file size and modified date of the filter file. I attached my code below and your great suggestion is truly appreciated. In fact, the script is just to monitor the filter file name, size and modified date and to be reported in a text file.

#Include <File.au3>

#Include <Array.au3>

$a = "C:\"

$b = "C:\Temp\Report.txt"

$FileList=_FileListToArray($a,"*.exe",1)

If @Error=1 Then

MsgBox (0,"","No Files\Folders Found.")

Exit

EndIf

_ArrayDelete($Filelist,0)

_FileWriteFromArray($b,$FileList,1)

I just start to learn the autoit and try to understand better. Perhaps my code is not enhanced like yours.

have look at a real nice robocopy-gui.

have look at a real nice robocopy-gui.

Thank you so much. But I'm kinda lost how to use it perhaps you give me some idea.

Uh, look for the helpfile, it's called support-switch.htm in the source-dir.

Basicly, it's a gui for robocopy (that's Robust File Copy Utility, a nice piece of free software from microsoft) that may help you to create backup-scripts or run it in background.

As you can see, there are a lot of options, since it's a kind of server tool for admins. In my company, we use robocopy to backup parts of our file-server. To get you started, the robocopy-gui may be a help.

So read the fine manual.
