Vindicator209 Posted November 3, 2007 Share Posted November 3, 2007 Well, I'm making a file copying program that copies folders to another folder, and I want to be able to monitor the progress via a progressbar, can anyone show me how to do that? I'm using DirCopy() to copy the folder. Thanks.

Achilles Posted November 3, 2007 Share Posted November 3, 2007 I've seen several version so a filecopy with a progress bar where the progress bar monitors an individual file but I haven't seen one for DirCopy. Why not just use a FileListToArray() and then an individual FileMove()... that would let you create you're progress bar.

Vindicator209 Posted November 4, 2007 Author Share Posted November 4, 2007 (edited) Well, at first glance I saw that DirCopy can copy the whole folder(including its contents) so I figured that was what to use. I guess I can use FileMove but it might cost another chunk of script (replacing them into the correct folders & such) but I still don't know how I can show the progress bar moving... See, its not just a folder with a couple of files, its a few files in a folder, in another folder, with a few other folders with files in them, inside another folder...and if you haven't guessed, im making a "universal" install program for some game, so im guessing my line of script might be along the lines of $array = _FileListToArray($folder) For $i = 1 to $array[0] FileCopy($array[$i],$destination) Next Problem is, not only are there folders inside folder, there are also files inside folders inside the source folder...follow? And I doubt FileCopy() also applies to folders so theres a road block too.. ahh my brain hurts.... Could you please show me one or two examples that you've seen so I can use them?

Achilles Posted November 4, 2007 Share Posted November 4, 2007 This is what I use in my multiple desktops program (edited a bit)... I haven't tested this much so I'm not sure how reliable it is... expandcollapse popup#include <File.au3> _DirMove('C:\Multiple Desktops', 'C:\TESTING TESTING\Multiple Desktops') Func _DirMove($from, $to) $files = _FileListToArray($from, "*.*", 1) $folders = _FileListToArray($from, '**', 2) If Not FileExists($to) then DirCreate($to) $total = 0 $index = 1 If IsArray($files) then $total += $files[0] EndIf If IsArray($folders) then $total += $folders[0] EndIf ProgressOn('Moving Folder', 'Current status:', '0%') If IsArray($files) then For $a = 1 to $files[0] FileMove($from & '\' & $files[$a], $to, 1) ProgressSet($index * $total/100, Round($index * $total/100, 2) & '%') $index += 1 Next EndIf If IsArray($folders) then For $a = 1 to $folders[0] DirMove($from & '\' & $folders[$a], $to, 1) ProgressSet($index * $total/100, Round($index * $total/100, 2) & '%') $index += 1 Next EndIf DirRemove($from) EndFunc My Programs[list][*]Knight Media Player[*]Multiple Desktops[*]Daily Comics[*]Journal[/list] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vindicator209 Posted November 4, 2007 Author Share Posted November 4, 2007 (edited) I tried this, it gets stuck at 0.25% for some reason, I'll look into it Edit: Thanks by the way Edited November 4, 2007 by MethodZero [center]"When you look at old, classic games like Snake, you often put it off because it's such a simple game, but it's only when you actually try and create your own unique game from scratch, do you finally appreciate those games."[/center][center]Don't ask for answers if you haven't TRIED yet![/center][center]Most answers can be answered in the help file!
