finding folders and copying specific data

[BigDaddyO]

Hello all,

I have a question that is starting to make my head spin, Hopefully you have a easier solution.

I am writing a script to map a network drive to where I store the Microsoft critical patches. What I want it to be able to do is automatically figure out which items the system should have and copy them to a folder on the desktop.

right now I am mapping P: directly to the folder that contains folders for each KB#### I then do a RunWait(@comspec & " /c Dir P:\ /b /a /s /AD > " & $TMP & "dir.txt") to get a text file that looks like this

P:\Archived Files

P:\KB841533

P:\KB873376

P:\KB886836

P:\KB824151

P:\KB841533\2K;SP3;SP4

P:\KB841533\XP;SP0;SP1

P:\KB873376\XP;SP0;SP1

P:\KB824151\2K;SP3;SP4

P:\KB824151\XP;SP0;SP1

I then copy the important data into an INI file using this code

$file = FileOpen(@TempDir & "\dir.txt", 0)

If $file = -1 Then
    MsgBox(0, "Error", "Unable to open file.")
    Exit
EndIf

$round = 0
While 1
    $line = FileReadLine($file)
    If @error = -1 Then ExitLoop
    $Split = stringsplit($line, "\")
    if $split[2] <> "Archived Files" Then
    $round = $round +1
    if $split[0] = 2 Then
    IniWrite(@TempDir & "\dir.ini", "Dir" & $round, "Folder", $split[2])
    EndIf
    if $split[0] = 3 Then
    IniWrite(@TempDir & "\dir.ini", "Dir" & $round, "Folder", $split[2])
    iniwrite(@TempDir & "\dir.ini", "Dir" & $round, "SubFolder", $split[3])
    EndIf
    if $split[0] = 4 Then
    IniWrite(@TempDir & "\dir.ini", "Dir" & $round, "Folder", $split[2])
    iniwrite(@TempDir & "\dir.ini", "Dir" & $round, "SubFolder", $split[3])
    iniwrite(@TempDir & "\dir.ini", "Dir" & $round, "SubFolder2", $split[4])
    EndIf
   EndIf
Wend
FileClose($file)

The output looks like this

[Dir1]

Folder=KB841533

[Dir2]

Folder=KB873376

[Dir3]

Folder=KB886836

[Dir4]

Folder=KB824151

[Dir5]

Folder=KB841533

SubFolder=2K;SP3;SP4

[Dir6]

Folder=KB841533

SubFolder=XP;SP0;SP1

[Dir7]

Folder=KB873376

SubFolder=XP;SP0;SP1

[Dir8]

Folder=KB824151

SubFolder=2K;SP3;SP4

[Dir9]

Folder=KB824151

SubFolder=XP;SP0;SP1

I will then be reading the current systems OS and SP using the AutoIT Macro's then I have to figure out how to determine which SubFolder has the proper files

What I am stumped on is if there is no subFolder than I want to copy the entire contents of the Folder and if there are SubFolders I need to match the OS and SP#, how can I do a Match from a INIREAD

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Not sure by what you mean - "how can I do a Match from a INIREAD?" .. Hope this helps

;Check Subfolders

    $sSubFolder = INIRead(@TempDir & "\dir.ini", "Dir" & $round, "SubFolder", "none")

    If $sSubFolder = "none" then

        ;copy the entire contents of the Folder

        ;copy the entire contents of the Folder

        ;copy the entire contents of the Folder

    Else

        ;split $sSubFolders at ";" and match the OS and SP#

        ;split $sSubFolders at ";" and match the OS and SP#

        ;split $sSubFolders at ";" and match the OS and SP#

    Endif

OK, Here is what I have now but this just copies every patch file in all of the directories to the desktop folder.

If $search = -1 Then

MsgBox(0, "Error", "No files/directories matched the search pattern")

Exit

EndIf

While 1

$file = FileFindNextFile($search)

If @error Then ExitLoop

DirCopy("d:\Temp\" & $file, @DesktopCommonDir & "\Software Testing\" & $file, 0)

WEnd

FileClose($search)

Each KB folder may have a sub folder named XP;SP0;SP1 or 2K;SP3;SP4 etc. and I need to copy only the folders that are needed.  I have been stuck because I want to do a DirCopy("d:\Temp\" & $file & "\XP*SP1*", @DesktopCommonDir & "\Software Testing\" & $file & "\", 0) but the * is not recognized by dircopy.  are they any other options?

You can route the output of DIR xp*sp1* to a txt file, which you can read into an array and copy from there:
;Collect an array of matching files/folders
    RunWait(@COMSPEC & ' /c DIR "d:\Temp\' & $file & '\XP*SP1*" /b/s > ' & $TMP & '~matches.txt', "", @SW_HIDE)

   ;read the file into an array 
   ;read the file into an array 
   ;read the file into an array 

   ;walk the array and copy the files listed in it
   ;walk the array and copy the files listed in it
   ;walk the array and copy the files listed in it

HTH

.. you may be able to simplify by copying from DOS ..!
