Hi all, just a little script I find useful. Always wanted to have an easy way to copy/mirror a complete folder with some kind of progressbar. Since robocopy is reliable and pre-installed in windows 10, it's the easiest way to achieve a copy of a folder. But there is no gui, the plain dosbox looks ugly... so I came up with this. It's a simple script, some would call it a stupid wrapper. The only interesting part of it is the ability to display progressbars for copied bytes and copied files. The script launches robocopy two times: at the first run, robocopy gets called with the /L Parameter, so it just logs what it WOULD do. So the script gathers the number of files and bytes which have to be processed. After that, robocopy gets called to actually do the job and the logfile is read out and compared to the total amount of files/bytes. Warning: there are two possible modes supported: copy and mirror. For gods and your own sake, if you don't know what "mirror" does, do not use this! Short Explanation: "mirror" will force the destination folder to be an exact copy of the source folder, so if there are files in the destination folder which are not in the source folder, robocopy will kill them without any warning! have fun, Marc robocopy.au3

Not a real GUI but a front-end but it works for what I'm using it for. Download all the files needed from OneDrive RoboCopy.au3

Hello Everyone, Please pardon my noobiness. I am working on backup restore script where a progress bar is required. I have tried using following code which works fine with folders but not really with single file because robocopy Func CopyFolder($srcDir, $destDir, $part) ;======> $part shows whats being copied (e.g. Desktop, Documents etc.) If StringRight($srcDir, 1) = "\" Then $srcDir = StringLeft($srcDir, StringLen($srcDir) - 1) If Not FileExists($destDir) Then DirCreate($destDir) $srcSize = DirGetSize($srcDir, $DIR_EXTENDED) $1_percent = $srcSize[0] / 100 $cmd = 'C:\Windows\System32\robocopy.exe "' & $srcDir & '" "' & $destDir & '" /E /Z /XO /XX /FFT /XJ /NDL /NJH /FP /ETA /NP /V /R:10 /W:5 /LOG+:"' & $logFile & '" /XF desktop.ini thumbs.db' Run(@ComSpec & " /c " & $cmd, "", @SW_HIDE) Do Sleep(300) Until ProcessExists("robocopy.exe") ProgressOn($part, $1_percent & "%", "", 0, 0, 16) Do $destSize = DirGetSize($destDir, $DIR_EXTENDED) ProgressSet(Round($destSize[0] / $1_percent, 2), Round($destSize[0] / (1024 * 1024), 2) & " MB of " & Round($srcSize[0] / (1024 * 1024), 2) & " MB copied", Round($destSize[0] / $1_percent, 2) & "%") Sleep(200) Until ProcessExists("robocopy.exe") = 0 ProgressOff() FileWriteLine($logFile, @CRLF & @CRLF) EndFunc ;==>CopyFolder Part of the problem is that I need to generate logs of files being copied. One particular problem is firefox profile directory. the directory is named as oi3jdslk.default or asdwdx.new and I need to copy places.sqlite from this directory. Xcopy manages to copy FROM this directory but not TO this directory because of wildcards Then I came across this neat script Func CopyFile($fromFile, $todirectory) Local $FOF_RESPOND_YES = 16 Local $FOF_SIMPLEPROGRESS = 256 $winShell = ObjCreate("shell.application") $winShell.namespace($todirectory).CopyHere($fromFile, $FOF_RESPOND_YES) EndFunc ;==>CopyFile It helped me copy other single files but not the one required from firefox profile folder. Here is how I am trying to process that $path = @UserProfileDir & "\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\" & $ffDir & "\places.sqlite" CopyFile($path, $BUFolder & "Mozilla") ;===> $BUFolder = "E:\" & @username & " - Backup\" #cs ====================================================== $ffDir is another variable derived from this function. This variable is the gets the default firefox profile to copy places.sqlite from $ffDir is returned as Profiles\xbsen2s.default (Firefox randomizes the profile directory for extra security(?). At least that's what they say. #ce ====================================================== Func FFProfile() Local $iniFile = @UserProfileDir & "\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\profiles.ini" Local $ddNumber Local $ddLine Local $Line If FileExists($iniFile) Then FileOpen($iniFile, 0) For $i = 1 To _FileCountLines($iniFile) $Line = FileReadLine($iniFile, $i) If StringInStr("DEFAULT=1", $Line) Then $ddNumber = $i - 1 ExitLoop ElseIf StringInStr("Name=default", $Line) Then $ddNumber = $i + 2 EndIf Next $ddLine = FileReadLine($iniFile, $ddNumber) $ffDir = StringReplace(StringTrimLeft($ddLine, 5), "/", "\") $ffInstall = 1 Else $ffInstall = 0 EndIf FileClose($iniFile) EndFunc ;==>FFProfile I really like how natural the progress bar from second copy script look like and would like to keep the progress bar uniform across the program. I am willing to learn if anyone can point me in right direction and help me achieve this. Any help is highly appreciated!!

Hi everyone, I'm currently writing a script that will execute some Robocopy batches among what has been ticked by the Technician. The script is divided in two files (the main & the functions) but the thing is that I have to write multiple lines for all controls, as you can see in the functions file. 1- Is there a way to shorten this? 2- To avoid writing bunch of lines to check whether checkboxes are checked and to lunch appropriate bat, is there also a way to go quicker when clicking on the submit button? (will be implemented in the SubmitCopyChoice() Function) Thanks guys for all the help you can offer Robocopy.au3 Robocopy_Functions.au3
