i have two big folders that have same number of folders inside (200+, it depends from the case),i need to copy folder from one inside another
like this


FOLDER A FOLDER B
a1 <---- b1
a2 <---- b2
a3 <---- b3

I see.
Try something like this:
Code:
frompath=x:\1
topath=x:\A
;fileArray for "from" folder including folders, files and subfolders
Loop,%frompath%\*,1
   from .= (from ? "|" : "") A_LoopFileFullPath
Sort,from,d|
;Get first folder in "to" folder
Loop,%topath%\*,2
   to .= (to ? "|" : "") A_LoopFileFullPath
Sort,to,d| ;sort alphabetically
If InStr(to,"|")
   StringTrimRight,to,to,% StrLen(to)-InStr(to,"|")+1
Loop,Parse,from,|
{
   todir := to . SubStr(A_LoopField,0 - StrLen(A_LoopField) + InStr(A_LoopField,"\")+2)
   If !InStr(FileExist(A_LoopField),"D"){
      FileCopy,%A_LoopField%,%todir%,1
      Continue
   }
   If !InStr(FileExist(todir),"D")
      FileCreateDir, %todir%
   FileCopyDir,%A_LoopField%,%todir%,1
}

thanks for the effort, but it didnt work :(
i made a few folders to test it...
folder "books" contained three folders book1,book2 and book3
folder "templates" contained three folders as well template1,template2 and template 3

when i ran your script, with "from" being "templates" and to being "books"
i got new folder in folder "books" named book1EMP or something like that, with all three subfolders from folder "templates"

i played around and made this quick and dirty script:

Code:
frompath=D:\TEMP\images
topath=D:\TEMP\books

Loop, D:\TEMP\books\*.*,1
{
 
  path=%A_LoopFileFullPath%
 
  Loop, D:\TEMP\images\*.*,1
  {
   
   MsgBox, Folder to move: %A_LoopFileFullPath% where to move: %path%
   
   
   FileMoveDir, %A_LoopFileFullPath%, %path%\,1
   
   MsgBox, folder should be moved!
   break
   
  }
 
}


esc::ExitApp



it works BUT, since retrieving the folders is not sorted, i got messed up results...so book1 gets template3 or template2 folder which isnt what i want..i want book1 to receive template1 and for other folders as well.


how to do this??

thanks for help
