Problems with variables

[Moreno]

Hi, everybody! I´m from Brazil and I am really new using Autoit3. Actually, I began testing it today. I´m trying to make a tool to backup files from local computers to a server computer at my work, but of course I am doing something wrong. I need the user to type its LOGIN to populate a variable and send the variable to the command "Filecopy" in the path. Could anybody help me please?

Thanks

Moreno

heres my script:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

;Creating a variable

Dim $userlogin

;populate a variable with the userlogin

$login = InputBox("LOGIN", "Enter your login do backup your files to the server.", "", "")

;Copying local files to the server

FileCopy("D:\users\"$userlogin"\Desktop\*.*", "\\comput1-backup1\Backup1", 1)

FileCopy("D:\users\"$userlogin"\My documents\*.*", "\\comput1-backup1\Backup1", 1)

MsgBox(4096, "Check your files in the server (\\comput1-backup1\Backup1) with your credentials. Any question call...., 10)

Welcome to Autoit

You dont need to dim $userlogin. This should be like this $userlogin = InputBox("LOGIN", "Enter your login do backup your files to the server.", "", "")

$userlogin = InputBox("LOGIN", "Enter your login do backup your files to the server.", "", "")
;Copying local files to the server
FileCopy("D:\users\" & $userlogin & "\Desktop\*.*", "\\comput1-backup1\Backup1", 1)
FileCopy("D:\users\" & $userlogin & "\My documents\*.*", "\\comput1-backup1\Backup1", 1)
MsgBox(4096,"", "Check your files in the server (\\comput1-backup1\Backup1) with your credentials. Any question call...., 10")
