 |
|
Hi i'm newbee in AHK...
I wish to backup all my Homeworks in pendrive to my document folder.
All my Homeworks are organised in folder...there are 100++ folders..
The folder's name will be changed daily...and some got form my friends
So i like to code a hotkey that can copy all of my file + file in folder to my document....
But Sometimes i can't copy the file in folder if i dun know the name of folder.
I need to change my code every there's is a new folder ......and compile
Does anyone knows how to copy every things in pendrives include File within folder as well?
*******************************************************
| Code: | #SingleInstance off
Loop,
{
IfExist, E:\
Run E:\ ;open my pendrive
FileCopy, E:\*.*, %A_MyDocuments%\My Music ;backing up my works
FileCopy, E:\Books\*.pdf , %A_MyDocuments%\My Music
FileCopy, E:\Homeworks\*.Doc, %A_MyDocuments%\My Music
FileCopy, E:\Songs\*.mp3, %A_MyDocuments%\My Music
FileCopy, E:\Lectures\*.ppt, %A_MyDocuments%\My Music
FileCopy, E:\Chemistry\*.*, %A_MyDocuments%\My Music
↓
↓ ;too many to list .....help me out
FileSetAttrib, +R, A_MyDocuments%\My Music\*.*, 1
sleep, 180000
SoundBeep, 950, 500
if WinActive("ahk_class #32770") ;endtask if pendrive is about to be removed.
ExitApp
}
#Q::ExitApp |
********************************************************
Can i use the wildcards or others method to do like this?
Filecopy,E:\????????\*.*, %A_MyDocuments%\My Music
I know it is not going to work....

Maybe i misunderstood the problem but couldn't u just mirror the folder structure of MyDocs in a folder on E also caled MyDocs?
then use FileCopyDir with a flag of 1 to overwrite? |

If you want to keep the files you copy in their original folder structure (i would) then u won't need a loop.
In which case the code below would do what u want quick and easy.
If you want them all as loose files for some reason, let me know and I'll do something else (time permitting) or point u in the right direction.
You could add #d after paste so that u get your screen back but it would slow down the copy a lot by taking focus off the copy window.
Probably not good as u seem to have a lot to copy.
| Code: | #SingleInstance, Force ;purely my preference
SetTitleMatchMode 2
SetTitleMatchMode Slow
Pen = Y: ;swap for the letter you need
mDocs = %A_MyDocuments%
Run, %Pen%
;WinWaitActive, (%Pen%) ahk_class CabinetWClass ;uncomment if necessary. Probably won't be
Send, {CTRLDOWN}a{CTRLUP} ;See "NOTE" in post
Send, {AppsKey}nmm{ENTER} ;If you really want them in MyMusic, remove this line and /* and */
/*
Send, {CTRLDOWN}c{CTRLUP}
Run, %mDocs%\My Music
WinActivate, %mDocs%\My Music
Sleep, 1000
Send, {CTRLDOWN}v{CTRLUP}
*/ |
NOTE: Usually i prefer to use WinMenuSelectItem for anything that can be found in the menu, but strangely that wasn't working. Never tried it on an explorer window before tho |

Things are not always what they look like. Explorer's menu bar is actually a toolbar.
| WinMenuSelectItem wrote: |
This command will not work with applications that use non-standard menu bars. Examples include Microsoft Outlook and Outlook Express, which use disguised toolbars for their menu bars. In these cases, consider using ControlSend or PostMessage , which should be able to interact with some of these non-standard menu bars.

... which means that it's a control, and it can be moved, resized, closed or hidden (just for curiosity).

Thanks for your help....
But i prefer command base action....
Alt-a and copy and paste ...can do it ..but some how i find it not suitable.....
using command.. i found out there is no way that the ahk can copy all folders and files
what i found out was ...using 7zip.exe
as long as it can backup all my files and folder is good enough for me.....
thanks to all my friends! |
