File copy with progress bar

Recommended Posts

I needed to create a function like this for a specific requirement so I thought I would share it.

Uses FileRead and FileWrite to copy a file allowing for a progress bar showing amount of data copied. Also allows for slowing the copy down (copygap), to make it bandwidth friendly.

This has been done before using external copy commands (like xcopy) and constant file size checking, but this method fit my requirement better.

Enjoy!

; -- ProgressCopy --
; Uses FileRead and FileWrite functions to do a binary copy of file data from
; one location to another with a progress bar. Note that time stamps will be
; different.
;
; Inputs
;  $src     : Full path to source file
;  $dst     : Full path to destination file (file name required)
;  $copygap : Time in ms to leave between each copy of data (default 20ms)
;
; Returns 1 if success, 0 if failed 
Func ProgressCopy($src, $dst, $copygap = 20)
   Dim $OptEnv, $OptVar, $size, $count, $timer, $progress, $in, $out
   
   ; Turn off expanded environment or variables, can cause problems for binary read
   $OptEnv = Opt("ExpandEnvStrings", 0)
   $OptVar = Opt("ExpandVarStrings", 0)
   
   ; Get size of file to determine remaining
   $size = FileGetSize($src)
   
   ; Set up initial variables
   $count = 0           ;keep count of bytes copied
   $progress = 0        ;progress bar variable (0 - 100)
   $chunk = 16384       ;amount of data to copy at a time (bytes)
   $updatefreq = 500    ;frequency of update to progress bar (ms)
   $progtitle = "File Copy Progress"   ;title of progress bar window
   $timer = TimerInit() ;initialize timer to keep track of update frequency
   
   ; Show progress bar
   ProgressOn($progtitle, "Copying " & $src & " ...", "0 of " & $size & " bytes copied. (0%)")

   ; Open input and output files (exit if error)
   $in = FileOpen($src, 0)
   If @error <> 0 Then Return 0
   $out = FileOpen($dst, 2)
   If @error <> 0 Then
      FileClose($in)
      Return 0
   EndIf
      
   ; Start reading input
   $bin = FileRead($in, $chunk)
   While @error = 0
      ; Write chunk of data, keep trying for up to 10 seconds if failed
      Do
         FileWrite($out, $bin)
      Until (@error = 0) Or (TimerDiff($timer) > 10000)
      If @error <> 0 Then
         FileClose($in)
         FileClose($out)
         Return 0
      EndIf
      
      ; Update copy counter
      $count = $count + $chunk
      
      ; Update progress as specified
      If (TimerDiff($timer) / $updatefreq) > 1 Then
         $progress = Int(($count / $size) * 100)
         ProgressSet($progress, $count & " of " & $size & " bytes copied. (" & $progress & "%)")
         $timer = TimerInit()
      EndIf
      
      ; Wait as specified
      Sleep($copygap)
      
      ; Get next chunk of data
      $bin = FileRead($in, $chunk)
   WEnd
   
   ; Show complete
   ProgressSet(100, $size & " of " & $size & " bytes copied. (100%)")
   
   ; Close files
   FileClose($in)
   FileClose($out)
   
   ; Hide progress bar
   Sleep(100)
   ProgressOff()
   
   ; Reset expanded environment or variables
   Opt("ExpandEnvStrings", $OptEnv)
   Opt("ExpandVarStrings", $OptVar)
   
   ; Return success
   Return 1
EndFunc

I don't think that's a reasonable expectation, the OP hasn't been on the forum in 2 years.

If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise. Also, if it doesn't work on XP I can't help with that because I don't have access to XP, and I'm not going to.

I hereby grant any person the right to use any code I post, that I am the original author of, on the autoitscript.com forums, unless I've specifically stated otherwise in the code or the thread post. If you do use my code all I ask, as a courtesy, is to make note of where you got it from.
