Error Allocating Memory

[ankitstr]

Hi

I developed a script to populate a SharePoint site for testing. The script just loads a set of files from a data directory into memory and copies them to the directory structure provided (adding a random tag-number in the file name).

I am using FileOpen($destination,16+2), FileWrite($filehandle,$content) functions to copy the data.

The script works fine for some items and randomly fails with an error message: "Error Allocating Memory". Although, the memory never exceeded ~233 MB (both for Physical and Virtual Memory).

First failure: after about 28,000 files copied

Second failure: after about 45,000 files

Also, it once failed after just 643 files for a test to copy 20,000 files (which it did fine 3 times before it failed in the 4th try, for the same directory structure).

I did add a COM error handler in my script but that didn't capture it. (i have little experience with error handling in AutoIt).

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers,

Ankit

Is it a recursive function? You may have just lost control of the recursion levels. Hard to tell without more code to examine.

You'll need to post more for us to see why you are doing it like this rather than a simple FileCopy(), and where the problems might be.
