FileCopy() - Multiple File Types

[etidd]

Just checking... 

Is there a better way to write this for 7 different file types?

FileCopy("C:\Users\------\Saved Games\Diablo II\*.d2s", "F:\Game Backup\Diablo II", $FC_OVERWRITE)
FileCopy("C:\Users\------\Saved Games\Diablo II\*.key", "F:\Game Backup\Diablo II", $FC_OVERWRITE)
FileCopy("C:\Users\------\Saved Games\Diablo II\*.ma0", "F:\Game Backup\Diablo II", $FC_OVERWRITE)
FileCopy("C:\Users\------\Saved Games\Diablo II\*.ma1", "F:\Game Backup\Diablo II", $FC_OVERWRITE)
FileCopy("C:\Users\------\Saved Games\Diablo II\*.ma2", "F:\Game Backup\Diablo II", $FC_OVERWRITE)
FileCopy("C:\Users\------\Saved Games\Diablo II\*.ma3", "F:\Game Backup\Diablo II", $FC_OVERWRITE)
FileCopy("C:\Users\------\Saved Games\Diablo II\*.map", "F:\Game Backup\Diablo II", $FC_OVERWRITE)

You can use _FileListToArrayRec() to get all files with certain extensions into an array and then loop through the array and use FileCopy().

@etidd  you should read forum rules especially about game automation since D2 is obviously included in this rule

[etidd]

I just glanced over the rules.

I'm not automating anything within the game itself. This post pertains to simply copying files to backup.

I understand, not a big deal for me.  Just want to let you know about it.

But I have played a lot D2 in the past, and I do not believe Blizz agrees you to copy current character stat to another location, and come back if you die.

I will respect the forum rules and read over them again.

My next posts will not have anything to do with games.

Thank you for your understanding.

Hi,

externally call robocopy.exe (included in Windows since XP), would be easy and quick. Have a look at the switch /if (include file), which can be used multiple times in the call.

The exitcode of robocopy will tell you exactly, what happened. Running it twice will give you an exitcode of 0 (zero), if source and destination match.

Just a loop : 

Local $aExt = ["*.d2s","*.key","*.ma0","*.ma1","*.ma2","*.ma3","*.map"]

For $ext in $aExt
    FileCopy("C:\Users\------\Saved Games\Diablo II\" & $ext, "F:\Game Backup\Diablo II")
Next
