Copy with progress dialog...

[Guest Bilou_Gateux]

Could some one post an AutoIT script to call the function from within a batch file (bat or cmd).

autoit3.exe filecopy.au3 source destination

Example

source=D:\AI\SOURCE\I386\ is the Command Line Parameter 1

destination=C:\I386\ is Command Line Parameter 2

values are passed to the function

_CopyDirWithProgress("D:\AI\SOURCE\I386\", "C:\I386\")

Why all that work? Why not just use XCOPY? That will do recursive folders and even has an option to do hidden files/folders as well.

...I hate this kind of answers...

Why not use XXCopy? It permit also copying NTFS rights!

So? What? He asked something different!

just use $cmdline[]

if $cmdline[0] > 1 Then
  _CopyDirWithProgress($cmdline[1], $cmdline[2])
 ;Some error checking here
endif

He said he wanted a program to recursively copy files, and that he wanted to be able to call it on the command line. My question is why write your own program to do that when one already exists and is already available on every MS machine? It would reduce his development/debugging time as well as reduce the overall size of whatever he's distributing.

Simple... I want to have this progressbar. It looks very professional. I don't like having a dos window popping up... and I don't want to just hide the dos window and not show progress. I allready know how to use xcopy... and that is the idea... I want to be able to basically do what xcopy does... but with ezzetabi's progressbar.

@Proph,

I can't say better than your answer.

@blindwig

Having a gui is usefull when installing Unattended Windows.

From winnt.sif DetachedProgram or $OEM$\cmdlines.txt, you can launch some commands with parameters.

you probably never heard of this... each user have different needs.

@ezzetabi

i will try looking in the tutorials for more details about this command and add this to code.

Thanks.

As you requested...

Here is what you need to call the progressbar from any script.

Just call the exe with 2 parameters...

Parameter 1 is the source.

Parameter 2 is the destination.

So if you named it progressbar.exe and wanted to copy "c:\source" to "d:\destination" you would put it in your batch file or script like this...

progressbar.exe "c:\source" "d:\destination"

expandcollapse popup

If $cmdline[0] = 2 Then
    $sOriginalDir = $cmdline[1]
    $sDestDir = $cmdline[2]

[Amen]

Nice Work and Very usefull function that you've created!

[ezzetabi]

Nice job Proph, but you should always put all func in the bottom or in the begin of the script. Putting Functions in the middle as you did is ugly (even if it works exactly at the same way...). In fact your program seems incomplete at the first look.

I usually even put a EXIT just before the functions, in order to make clear that the main program is ended, if I need OnAutoItStart() I put it as first function.

The program is more tidy that way...

;Main program

Exit
Func OnAutoItStart()
 ;Blah
EndFunc

;Other funcs....

[Proph]

Nice tip. I will do that in the future.

[lyledg]

Was just wondering, what would need to change in this script if I wanted to use GUICtrlCreateProgress?

Cheers

Yo I love this, it will help with installers, great work!!!

hello. i need some help. pls anyone...

i want to add this function in my code my code is:

if FileExists("c:\test.txt") Then

run("notepad", "c:\windows\", @SW_MAXIMIZE)

Else

DirCopy("\\kill-bill\Server\", "c:\", 1)

EndIf

Exit

i want to copy files from server to my pc and i want to have a progress bor to check the status progress

i want to copy files from server to my pc and i want to have a progress bor to check the status progress

Try the Com method as it will show the windows default copy dialog and works with file and directories.

[Hello Me You]

thanks, nice script

[Charus]

thanks MHz but this script copy only 1 file... i want to copy all the folder with subfolders etc...

[MHz]

thanks MHz but this script copy only 1 file... i want to copy all the folder with subfolders etc...

Copying the directory works for me.

Try this

_FileCopy(@WindowsDir & "\Resources\",@HomeDrive & '\')

Func _FileCopy($fromFile,$tofile)
    Local $FOF_RESPOND_YES = 16
    Local $FOF_SIMPLEPROGRESS = 256
    $winShell = ObjCreate("shell.application")
    $winShell.namespace($tofile).CopyHere($fromFile,$FOF_RESPOND_YES)
EndFunc

It copies the folder and subfolders with a progress dialog.
