| Also, I should mention that your script takes files from folders of varying depths and dumps them into a single folder, and if the filenames are the same, not all of them will be backed up. Here's an example of two files that would collide, losing one of the files in the process: C:\Orig\qwer\file.... |

| Thanks so much for your patience with this. I learned a lot; I'm glad you didn't just write it for me (although you sort of did in the end). I really appreciate this. |

| When I run this nothing happens. It does check the directory; the hard drive is active while the script runs, but no files are copied. It seems like this should be working now, but it isn't. Loop, C:\Users\Name\Documents\usb backup\, 1, 1 { possiblePath=H:\%A_LoopFileName% if RegExMatch(A_L... |

| I don't know why this is so hard for me to figure out. I've tried a number of iterations and none seem to work. I've tried: Loop, "C:\Users\Name\Documents\usb backup\", 1, 1 { if RegExMatch(A_LoopFileExt, "(txt|doc)") FileCopy, C:\Users\Name\Documents\usb bac... |

| You need a filename of the destination... not a folder name. This allows you to rename the file, if desired. Okay. So from my first example, how do I tell AHK to use all the same file names if I have to give a file name for the destination? We have this: Loop, "C:\Users\Name\Documents\usb back... |

Something is wrong on my end. I can't get this to do anything even:
Code: FileCopy, "C:\Users\Name\Documents\usb backup\test.txt", H:\
The file test.txt is in that directory and the USB stick is definitely on the H drive. What am I doing wrong? |

| Hi All, I've been working on this for about an hour now and can't figure it out. To be fair, I don't know AHK well, but I have searched extensively and can't make this work. I want to search a directory and its subdirectories for doc and xls files, and then copy those to my USB drive. I've found abo... |

| Hi All, Here's my situation: I have a long set of keywords that replace the bound keystrokes with long strings of formatted text. AHK types the formatted text into the window, but I want it to be first copied to the clipboard and then pasted into the window, since it is considerably faster. Here is ... |

xXDarknessXx:
Do you happen to know (or know how I can find out--I've been searching) how to paste my output with formatting? With my existing script I can use the `r for formatting control because I'm having it typed word-for-word. I can't figure out how to do that with your code. |

| If its trying to type it all out then try and change your hotstrings to instead, Set the clipboard to the value and then past so instead of :R:fr;::favorite restaurant use :R:fr;:: PutText("favorite restaurant") ; Putting it on the next line is necessary or else it will just type ... |

| Then it would be the program is slow and not responding fast enough. I've considered that. Before the reinstall FF was very slow, but AHK was still very fast--as it has always been. Since the reinstall FF is still slow, albeit less so, but AHK is very slow. Using AHK to input the text is ticker-tap... |

| Have you changed the scripts at all? Does it also lag in things like notpad? or just specific applications? I add to this particular script all the time, but only lines like the one in my example. The script itself has about 150 lines, but only 5 or so added since the reinstall. This particular scr... |
