How to select many files and copy to 2 locations

[omar]

In Windows Explorer, I want to select a few files.
I then want to make a keyboard shortcut that copies these files to 2 different locations.

Copying 1 file using AHK - I can look up the documentation.
But wasn't sure how I would do multiple?

+ What would I do about error reporting?
Like what to do if the file exists, or just there was a problem copying (like the file was locked by Excel for example).

I guess I can get a DOS solution and then use AHK to call the batch file? But surely there is a 'pure' AHK way to do it?

Thanks.

Indeed, AHK has a FileCopy command that includes an ErrorLevel. See documentation.

See function to get the Explorer selection, too-- includes multiple files. Example

oooh very nice!
So the magic happens in the function Explorer_GetSelection() you made?
I'll give it a try tmrw.
Thanks.
