 Post subject: FileMove Script
PostPosted: June 21st, 2005, 11:37 am 
Sorry am new to AHK, set up the following script that I thought would move files that met certain rules (in this case txt file) from one directory to another, but the script appears to do nothing ?

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks

phatman

file_it = Loop,E:\*.*,0,0
{

stringright, move_it, file_it,3

if (move_it="txt")
{
filemove, file_it, E:\Files\txt\
}

}
Return

 Post subject: Existing Files ?
PostPosted: June 21st, 2005, 12:32 pm 
Bobo,

Excellent, thanks mate, is there a way to check if the file already exists in the target directory and if so append the current date to the file name and then move it ?

Thanks for your help

Phatman

 Post subject: Exclude Certain file
PostPosted: June 21st, 2005, 12:35 pm 
Bobo,

Sorry mate, am pushing it slightly, but I also need to exclude certain files from the Move Operation (e.g. if the file name starts with 'Schedule').

Thanks

Phatman

Code:
FileTypes = txt,doc,xls,mdb
StringSplit, FExt, FileTypes, `,

Loop, %FExt0%
{
   FileExt := FExt%A_Index%
   Loop, E:\*.%FileExt%, 0, 0
   {
       FileMove, %A_LoopFileFullPath%, E:\Files\%FileExt%
   }
}

Yes. 8)

Code:
FileTypes = txt,doc,xls,mdb
StringSplit, FExt, FileTypes, `,

Loop, %FExt0%
{
   FileExt := FExt%A_Index%
   Loop, E:\*.%FileExt%, 0, 0
   {
       SplitPath, A_LoopFileFullPath, OutFileName
       If OutFileName contains Schedule,Private,BoBos
           Break
       IfFileExist, E:\Files\%FileExt%\%OutFileName%
           OutFileName = %A_Now%_%OutFileName%
       FileMove, %A_LoopFileFullPath%, E:\Files\%FileExt%\%OutFileName%
   }
}
Of course, untested. :roll::wink:

Hi folks !

Code:
Loop, E:\*.txt, 0, 0
{
FileMove, %A_LoopFileFullPath%, E:\Files\txt
}


How could I write the name of the txt file in a variable, that the loop function found, and send it for e.g. to 'run, test.exe %VarOutput%' ? The problem ist that the loop function runs again and again the test.exe.

I could use clarification. Do you want to launch test.exe for each text file in a certain directory, passing the name of each text file as a parameter?

I think this should do it.
Code:
Loop E:\*.txt
    Run test.exe "%A_LoopFileFullPath%"

Hi !

Thanks for your quick answer !
You opened my eyes. I had used the variable 'A_LoopFileName' and forgotten that the file extension is included. Which variable have I to use that the file extion isn't included - I have searched the help file but doesn't found the right variable. Can you help ?

Thanks in advance
badcoder

There is no built-in variable for that, but you could use:
Code:
StringTrimRight, var_trimmed, A_LoopFileFullPath, 4

@ badcoder
StringSplit (not a variable, it's the AHK command which delivers it) ? That might be the reason why I've used it within my sample code above, which btw. you've tested ???
