A littlle help with FileCopy please


Recommended Posts

hey i wanna use FileCopy in my script, but my source is in a folder that has a different name for each computer. is there any methods i could use to open that folder. it is also the only folder in there, so maybe somehow i can just make it choose the first folder it finds in that directory or something?

any help would be much appreciated.

thanks mate

I would have a look in the help file for FileFindFirstFile / FileFindNextFile / FileClose to get the first file. For every file I find I would use FileGetAttrib to check if it's a directory. If yes then start copying.

Maybe this will help ?(Findfirstfile()/FindNextfile() functions can do this for you) :)

cool, thanks alot. but i need to find the first directory, i got the file name :)

Oh yes it does return directories when you use *.*

You have to use FileGetAttrib() function on the returned name of FindNextFile to check if its FileGetAttrib() return has "D" in it. You can see details of these functions in AutoIT help.

This should return the first directory in the Start Directory:

; Shows the filenames of all files in the current directory.
$StartDir = "C:\"
$search = FileFindFirstFile($StartDir & "*.*")  

; Check if the search was successful
If $search = -1 Then
    MsgBox(0, "Error", "No files/directories matched the search pattern")
    Exit
EndIf

While 1
    ; Find next file in directory
    $file = FileFindNextFile($search)
    If @error Then ExitLoop
    If StringInStr(FileGetAttrib($StartDir & "\" & $file),"D") > 0 Then
        MsgBox(4096, "First Directory is: ", $file)
        ExitLoop
    EndIf
WEnd
FileClose($search)

Well if it didn't have to be entirely automatic you could do FileOpenDialog or FileSelectFolder.

Probably not what you are looking for but thought they should be referenced just in case.
