FileCopyDir is not working :( Topic is solved

[Ross]

Hi, it's been a while since I last could use FileCopyDir successfully. I don't know why I can't. For instance, I tried

Code: Select all

SetTitleMatchMode, 2

FileCopyDir, E:\test\source\vacation2014, E:\test\destination
	If ErrorLevel {
	MsgBox, Bummer.
}
Else {
	MsgBox, Great!
}

And I got the "Bummer" error message. Plus, no copies made.
After searching a bit, I found this, but it was unintelligible.
I also found this, which appears to be more meaninful, but still I see no mention to flags or third option onward on the docs for FileCopyDir.

What gives?

If the target directory already exists, it won't work. You can check that in your script, and also check whether the source directory exists.

if u ran an equivalent script with v2, it would tell u why it failed

Thanks @mikeyww, that was it. Didn't know and wasn't getting the error message.
@swagfag I wish I could make the transition already
