j0ep j0ep Fresh Scripter Registered: 2003-09-26 Posts: 14	Hi, I need to move a directory and subdirectories. Is there any way to do this besides start a shell with xcopy /s and a shell with del /s ? [ 09. October 2003, 20:34: Message edited by: j0ep ]

I am familiar with the move command, but it cannot move a complete directory with subdirectories

Here's the code :

code:

  
$listvartest = "c:\test\*.*"
$dirlisttest = dirlist($listvartest,1)
For Each $sFilem In $dirlisttest
	$x = SubStr($sfilem, Len($sfilem), 1)
	If $x = "\"
	   $rc=isinarray ($allowedsubdirs,$sFilem)
	   If $rc = 0
	   	MD "c:\backup\test\" + $sfilem
	   	Shell "%comspec% /c move /Y " + Chr(34) + "c:\test\" + $sFilem + "*.*" + Chr(34) + " " + Chr(34) + "c:\backup\test\" + $sfilem + Chr(34)
	   	RD "c:\test\" + $sfilem	
	   EndIf	
	EndIf 
Next

But it doesn't work for subdirs with a subdir (get it ?)

j0ep j0ep Fresh Scripter Registered: 2003-09-26 Posts: 14	Okee thanx for that (my kix editor was still pointing to the kix 4.21). So, I try: code: MOVE $testpath + "\main\" + $sFilem + "." $backpath + "\main\" + $sfilem /s edit: this works, but doesn't delete the subdirs... any1 ? [ 09.

Lonkero Lonkero KiX Master Guru Registered: 2001-06-05 Posts: 22346 Loc: OK	ok, thanks shane for replying looked again your code and it really seems that you specifying the "." is the problem. what that literally means is "all files" leave that out and it works just fine. _________________________ ! download KiXnet
