Something wrong with this script?

[Robin]

I can't seem to copy "selected" files...I can highlight it, but it just doesnt want to copy. Individual files copy like a breeze...Could anyone here help plse?

here is my script ====

Local $message, $Select5, $var1

$Select5 = FileOpenDialog($message, "", "(*.*)", 1 + 4)

$var1 = FileCopy($Select5, "c:\new\", 9)

If $var1 = 0 Then

MsgBox(0, "", "Failed")

EndIf

Look at the results you are getting from the FileOpenDialog

Local $message, $Select5, $var1

$Select5 = FileOpenDialog($message, "", "(*.*)", 1 + 4)
MsgBox(0,"Select5",$Select5)

I bet it is not what you are expecting

It shows the correct files...I think it has something to do with the "pipes" in between uh?

[SpookMeister]

Yeah "C:\test|file1.txt|file2.txt" is not a valid path. You will need to detect if there are pipes in the string, then split the string accordingly and make a file copy for each file found.

Look at StringInStr and StringSplit in the help file

Thx SpookMeister...will have a look at it.

Thx SpookMeister...will have a look at it.

last question...Is it possible to get all the "pipes" out when a user is going to select "random" files to copy?...sorry, but i'm really not familiar with StringSplit...If i may ask...If you had these 3 files --->

settings1.txt(pipe)settings2.txt(pipe)settings3.txt...how would you go about it?

[SpookMeister]

Local $message = "Select Files", $Select5, $var1

$Select5 = FileOpenDialog($message, "", "(*.*)", 1 + 4)

If StringInStr($Select5, "|") Then
    $a_files = StringSplit($Select5, "|")
    For $x = 2 To $a_files[0]
        $path = $a_files[1] & "\" & $a_files[$x]
        MsgBox(0, "Multiple Files Selected #" & $x - 1, $path)
    Next
Else
    MsgBox(0, "One File", $Select5)
EndIf
