file and directory copy speed

[FaT3oYCG]

Hi, I am making myself another program with autoit to archive files, i have already created a function to detect how large a file or folder is and add the extension to it e.g. bytes kb mb gb and o_O as i dbout any file will reach the terrabytes in this day and age. but anyway, i was wondering if you could find out how fast autoit copies files and directories so that i can create an estimated time label on my gui to show approximateley how long it would take to archive the file / folder.

here is a screenshot of my app just for reference, not that it helps XD.

There are many, many programs called something like "copy with progress" in the Example scripts section. Just do a search and I'll bet you can find info you can use...

sorry maybe i didnt explain clearley enough, i dont want a progress bar or anything like that (not yet anyway), i just want a way of finding out how long it would take to do the archiving.

Again, that would be a great place to start looking for the type of info you might want.
