AutoItExe Return Error.

[Nas]

Hello guys,

Is there a way to get DirCopy return code from this command :

local $pid = Run(@AutoItExe & ' /AutoIt3ExecuteLine "DirCopy(' ' ' & $sSourceFolder & '  '', ' ' ' & $sDestFolder & ' ' ') "  ')

Something like this but it doesn't work :

 local $pid = Run(@AutoItExe & ' /AutoIt3ExecuteLine "  $Check = DirCopy(''' & $sSourceFolder & ''', ''' & $sDestFolder & ''')"')

Thank you

Why not just run DirCopy by itself?

untested:

local $rc = RunWait(@AutoItExe & ' /AutoIt3ExecuteLine "Exit DirCopy(' ' ' & $sSourceFolder & '  '', ' ' ' & $sDestFolder & ' ' ') "  ')

I would assume he wants to show a progress bar or something similar during the copy...

Here how I would do it :

#include <Constants.au3>

Local $sSourceFolder = "C:\Apps\Temp"
Local $sDestFolder = @ScriptDir & "\Temp"
Local $sCommand = ' /AutoIt3ExecuteLine "FileWriteLine (''DirCopy.log'',DirCopy(''' & $sSourceFolder & ''',''' & $sDestFolder & '''))"'
Local $pid = Run(@AutoItExe & $sCommand)
While ProcessExists ($pid)
  Sleep (100)
  ; show progress bar here for example
WEnd
Local $sStatus = FileRead ("DirCopy.log")
FileDelete ("DirCopy.log")
MsgBox ($MB_SYSTEMMODAL,"",$sStatus)

FileDelete ("DirCopy.log")
MsgBox ($MB_SYSTEMMODAL,"",$sStatus)

 

That's exactly what I want, my code will look like this :

Local $pid = Run(@AutoItExe & ' /AutoIt3ExecuteLine "FileWriteLine (''DirCopy.log'',DirCopy(''' & $sSourceFolder & ''',''' & $sDestFolder & '''))"')

Now I can get the result and yes I am including a progress bar in there, thank you so much you're awesome.

This does work and gives that result of 1 or 0, but I will need that $pid process for my progress bar so this won't work for me thank you so much though.

Nas,

When you reply in future, please use the "Reply to this topic" button at the top of the thread or the "Reply to this topic" editor at the bottom rather than the "Quote" button - responders know what they wrote and it just pads the thread unnecessarily. Thanks in advance for your cooperation.

Melba23 Ok I will next time thanks.

Hi guys,

I was able to come up with this script :

#include <Constants.au3>

Local $sSourceFolder = ".\shell32"
Local $sDestFolder = ".\shell35"

local $pid = Run(@AutoItExe & ' /AutoIt3ExecuteLine "Global $Check = DirCopy(''' & $sSourceFolder & ''', ''' & $sDestFolder & '''), $Dummy = MsgBox(0,""Debug"", $Check) "')

While ProcessExists ($pid)
  Sleep (100)
WEnd
MsgBox ($MB_SYSTEMMODAL,"",'Finished!!')

So the Msgbox does show the return result of DirCopy but I wasn't able to get that result inside the script because it's a different process, any idea how I can recover that variable: $Check.

Other than this Nine script will definitely work I am just trying to see if it can be done this way.

There is no way that this will work.  Like you said it is 2 different process, you cannot pass info between them within a single line of code.

Yup that's what I thought, thanks again.
