I found that the script [of Philho's] was only letting the temp txt file copy over the next time you ran the script... I had wanted to copy the temp txt file straight into a numbered txt file. By taking some time to think about it, I decided to run the loop function twice and then delete the tmp txt file when the numbered txt file was created.
Here's what it looks like in practice:
Code:
path = d:\destinationPath\ ; this is where I want the numbered files saved
cdDriveContent = c:\temp\cd_drive_contents.txt
Run %comspec% /c dir e: /s /A-D /on > %cdDriveContent%, , Hide
Loop
{
filename = %path%CD-Drive%A_Index%.txt
If (!FileExist(filename))
{
FileMove %cdDriveContent%, %filename%
Break
}
}
; it was not creating the numbered file on the first go so I run the loop again
Loop
{
filename = %path%CD-Drive%A_Index%.txt
If (!FileExist(filename))
{
FileMove %cdDriveContent%, %filename%
Break
}
}
; the numbered file has been created now, I should delete the tmp file or next time I run the script it's contents will be in the next numbered file
filedelete %cdDriveContent%
msgbox Your new CD is called %filename%
Thanks for showing me how, Philho,
Staid.
