_WinAPI_ShellFileOperation ( $sFrom, $sTo, $iFunc, $iFlags [, $sTitle = '' [, $hParent = 0]] )
$sFrom | Single string or array of string that contains the source file name(s). These names should be fully-qualified paths to prevent unexpected results. |
$sTo | Single string or array of string that contains the destination file or directory name(s) (if used). These names should be fully-qualified paths to prevent unexpected results. |
$iFunc | A value that indicates which operation to perform. This parameter can be one of the following values. $FO_COPY $FO_DELETE $FO_MOVE $FO_RENAME |
$iFlags | Flags that control the file operation. This parameter can be one of the following values. $FOF_ALLOWUNDO $FOF_CONFIRMMOUSE $FOF_FILESONLY $FOF_MULTIDESTFILES $FOF_NOCONFIRMATION $FOF_NOCONFIRMMKDIR $FOF_NO_CONNECTED_ELEMENTS $FOF_NOCOPYSECURITYATTRIBS $FOF_NOERRORUI $FOF_NORECURSEREPARSE $FOF_NORECURSION $FOF_RENAMEONCOLLISION $FOF_SILENT $FOF_SIMPLEPROGRESS $FOF_WANTMAPPINGHANDLE $FOF_WANTNUKEWARNING $FOF_NO_UI |
$sTitle | [optional] The title of a progress dialog box. This parameter is used only if $iFlags includes the $FOF_SIMPLEPROGRESS flag. |
$hParent | [optional] Handle to the dialog box to display information about the status of the file operation. |
Success: | $tagSHFILEOPSTRUCT structure that contains the additional information. |
Failure: | Sets the @error flag, @extended may be set to the one of the following values. 113 - The source and destination files are the same file. 114 - Multiple file paths were specified in the source buffer, but only one destination file path. 115 - Rename operation was specified but the destination path is a different directory. Use the move operation instead. 116 - The source is a root directory, which cannot be moved or renamed. 117 - The operation was cancelled by the user, or silently cancelled if the appropriate flags were supplied to _WinAPI_ShellFileOperation(). 118 - The destination is a subtree of the source. 120 - Security settings denied access to the source. 121 - The source or destination path exceeded or would exceed MAX_PATH. 122 - The operation involved multiple destination paths, which can fail in the case of a move operation. 124 - The path in the source or destination or both was invalid. 125 - The source and destination have the same parent folder. 126 - The destination path is an existing file. 128 - The destination path is an existing folder. 129 - The name of the file exceeds MAX_PATH. 130 - The destination is a read-only CD-ROM, possibly unformatted. 131 - The destination is a read-only DVD, possibly unformatted. 132 - The destination is a writable CD-ROM, possibly unformatted. 133 - The file involved in the operation is too large for the destination media or file system. 134 - The source is a read-only CD-ROM, possibly unformatted. 135 - The source is a read-only DVD, possibly unformatted. 136 - The source is a writable CD-ROM, possibly unformatted. 183 - MAX_PATH was exceeded during the operation. 026 - An unknown error occurred. This is typically due to an invalid path in the source or destination. 536 - An unspecified error occurred on the destination. 652 - Destination is a root directory and cannot be renamed. |
You should use fully-qualified path names with this function. Using it with relative path names is not thread safe.
