USB Detect & Launch

Introduction

This application allows you to automatically execute a script or application each time a USB storage device is plugged into your PC. Different scripts can be executed for different devices and it’s the volume label that determines what action to perform.

Some examples (dependent on the scripts you write) are:

Copy new podcasts to your MP3 player.. just like I describe here

Copy other media from specific folders onto your USB memory stick
Backup your USB memory stick automatically when it’s inserted
Backup files from your PC onto a portable hard drive (perhaps firing up a copy of Microsoft’s SyncToy or Robocopy)
Anything else you can think of that you can write in a script!
As I mentioned, the application does little more than detecting the USB device and launching a script determined by it’s volume label. The power comes from being able to write scripts to do whatever you like!

Code:

#Noenv
#Persistent

DriveGET, OutVorhanden, List, REMOVABLE
settimer, check, 100
return

check:
ret := scan4newDrives(OutVorhanden)

if (!ret){
;nothing here
}else{
msgbox Found new device! : %ret% ;here you can add code, wich should be executet if a new USB Device is plugged in.
}
return

scan4newDrives(byref olddrives){

DriveGET, OutAktuell, List, REMOVABLE
Loop, parse, OutAktuell
{

if InStr(olddrives, a_loopfield) {
;still here
}else{
;found new device!
olddrives := OutAktuell ;update
return, % a_loopfield
}
olddrives := OutAktuell ;update
return, 0 ;no new devices found.
}
}
